Put together the year 1964, the names like Dara Singh, Ameeta, Feroze Khan, Mumtaz, King Kong, Tiger Jogender, a director by the name Nanabhai Bhatt, and a film title like Samson. And here is a ready recipe for a B/C grade stunt film. The name and presence of Dara Singh could well have been the saving grace of this film, in the local B/C grade cinema halls circuit, and likewise the name of the film does not sound so unfamiliar. But then, pour into this mix some lyrics by Majrooh Sultanpuri, and some melodious tunes by Chitragupt. Well now, the recipe does turn out to be more interesting, for now at least we are assured there will be some good music coming along with the stunts. Mind not the situations and the people who would perform these pieces of music on screen, the promise of some good songs will not be turned down.

As we are trudging through lists of songs from various sources, as well as published songs on the internet, everyday there is a this ‘A haa’ moment when one comes across unheard, or heard-long-back-but-now-lost songs. These moments make this search and this journey worth its while. And the notable point is that these wonderful songs, now rare and obscure, mostly come from films which themselves are obscure. Their lack of success on the box office relegated their memory and the related information into depths of anonymity, and the music of such films also went the same way. The great consolation is projects like this blog, and the internet connectivity, that has provided the music lovers with a via media to publish and share the music that sits on forgotten vinyl records or music cassettes, probably stowed away in storage that is not often visited. These valued publications, and the ‘A haa’ moments they generate almost on a daily basis are a wonderful impetus for music lovers everywhere.
