Pancham Unmixed<\/a>)<\/p><\/div>\nRafi used to address RD as Chhote Burman Saheb and RD called him Rafi Saab, as most in the industry did. While assisting his illustrious father, SD Burman for many years, RD had become well acquainted with Rafi and his capabilities. Not surprisingly, RD went on to use them to his best advantage, giving us music lovers all the reasons to celebrate.<\/p>\n
In his very first film Chote Nawab<\/em> (1961), RD used Rafi in a duet that would make the world notice RD\u2019s arrival. It was with Lata, Matwali aankhon waale, o albele dilwale <\/em>with the tap dance on floor by Mehmood and Helen. \u00a0He also had the courage to make Rafi deliver a \u2018tottla<\/em>\u2019 song in form of Aamchum taamchum kalalabadumchum<\/em>, carried out excellently by Rafi. I do not recollect many such songs used in films earlier or later, thus making it unique.<\/p>\nBut, my first choice is the Abhilasha<\/em> (1969) tandem by Majrooh, Waadiyan mera daaman, raste meri bahen, jaao mere siva tum kahan jaaoge<\/em>. That Rafi version leaves a lasting impression and it is no mean achievement. Melodious and catchy instrumentation coupled with smooth delivery, it is a song for any day to relish and enjoy.<\/p>\nWaadiyan mera daaman, raste meri bahen, jaao mere siva tum kahan jaaoge\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>(Abhilasha<\/em>, 1969)<\/span><\/p>\n
