I’ll keep providing links to Kishore Kumar songs as long as they continue trickling in my way. An awesome amount of Kishore-Lata music also needs being looked into at, just like the Kishore-Asha one did. But it seeks long hours, which is why I shall look into it some time later!

Staying put with Mohammed Rafi songs, here is one more list. These tracks belong to several moods, the patriotic ones lead the fray however.

Kishoreda’s solos are getting fewer with each shared list of mine. Be prepared to start listening to Kishore-Lata and Kishore-Asha duets soon, but for the time being hum these reflective/ philosiophical Kishore Kumar numbers.

Sad Mohammed Rafi Songs

Rafi Saab, never seen not smiling. A truly divine soul! From where did he borrow tears for these amazing songs?! Good humans may have more insight into the human plight, as they say!

One requires more time having to decide about Mohammed Rafi songs as against those from Kishoreda. Why so? Two reasons. Firstly, I’m not a proficient follower of Rafi’s legacy. Having listened KK more keenly since my teenage-hood only makes it easier classifying him as per varying moods. The same couldn’t be stated about Rafi though. Secondly and more significantly, Rafi’s era belonged to better poetry. I realize this more, the more I listen to his songs from the 50s and 60s these days. They require more time having to classify them. Kishoreda was a highly passionate singer, had better recording techniques and composers of RD Burman’s stature by his side, but not the same enchanting poetry that Rafi enjoyed only a decade earlier. Hindi cinema was vigorously looking to exploiting the newly imported cine methods such as Eastman color, cinema scope and displaying slow motion displays by the onset of the 70s, as opposed to good scripting and song writing they would otherwise in Rafi’s era.

The scenario worsened further after Kishore Kumar’s demise, as Hindi music seemed to have finally broken apart due to a lack of talent, intent and seriousness. Better poetry and scripting may be about to make a come back though, as movies have lucrative funds and settled techniques to rely on these days.

Romantic Mohammed Rafi Songs

admin — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 04:15:32 +0000

I wanted to start speaking about Rafi having had posted so much on Kishore in the last few months. Let us begin with the following song list, the first in a series of many similar to come on Rafi and others. Rafi was the original playback maestro. All others only followed him. While Sehgal fans may not agree with my notion, I can choose to ignore them since they are hardly any force to make a hue and cry on this issue…lol. A list of mostly romantic solos by Rafi is displayed here. Remember, I’m no pucca Rafi listener, so bear with whatever I could produce now.

My childhood went in listening to an exploding Kishore Kumar. This happened from mid-70s onwards. He was alive till I became 18 in 1987. Rafi passed away when I must have been around 11. Mukesh a couple of years earlier. I clearly remember them having a sway over my elder generation. I carried the word of appreciation from thereon. Rafi’s voice thus became an integral part of my upbringing. Vividh Bharati and All India Radio Urdu Service would air Hindi movie songs in those days. Megaphones in Navaratri Pandals and weddings would also play them aloud.

There were times, I won’t listen to KK’s numbers for months on (mostly having overlistened him). I did not enjoy it, unless I could sing along too. And this was not easy to accomplish in KK’s case. You could follow Rafi in all weathers though, if you desired so. His genre bore a simplicity, despite his vastness as a singer, that may not easily be found in any other singer’s style. I used to switch over to Rafi’s camp for this reason, whenever tired of listening KK.

Rare Kishore Kumar Live Videos

admin — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 22:45:20 +0000

I recently checked out youtube and grabbed the following rare Kishore Kumar live videos. Rare, because anything related with him is rare for his fans anyway. A few of these belong to a charity show, part aired by Doordarshan on that evening. This, about a year and a half before he finally departed from this world.

Kishore Kumar, the legend, sings at a charity show in Delhi in the mid 80s

A satirist-writer of fame KP Saxena called him BHAAND (cheap entertainer) soon after the show in one of his news magazine columns, citing his going down flat on floor and all those leg swings infront of Delhi’s kids and women. How nakedly different opinions could be! Yet we laughed and moved on, since the author’s very job required him to do what he did.

Gujarati Movie Songs By Mukesh

admin — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 23:50:50 +0000

The following is a list of Gujarati movie songs by Mukesh, I have been able to collect recently. Some of these are truly old ones, since Mukesh could be heard imitating KL Sehgal in those few. A few of them are quite familiar and therefore, could be assumed to have been popular since the old days. I know, some of you have been searching out for particular Gujarati movie songs on my site (I always save them for my later use) including those sung by Rafi and Mukesh. I’ll soon upload a few of Rafi and Talat Mahmood Gazals, as well as some Lata and Geeta Dutt movie numbers. Enjoy these Gujju songs in the Sugam Sangeet mode by Mukesh for the time being. Sugam Sangeet, Light Music or Gazal whatever, I’ve chosen to publish them under Gujarati folk music for my own simplicity.

Btw, how do you define Sugam Sangeet? Any suggestion?
