Aap ki Aankhon mein kuch

GHAR-1978,a simple film with two superstars at that time....Rekha looking at her best and completely in love with Vinod Mehra...
This song became a super hit with Kishoreda in his usual style singing with a classical base.
The song was packed with melody....and with the nightingale in the duet...you couldnt have asked for anything better...
I wanted to try out a different classical song this time and this was my first choice...
I hope you'll enjoy it too...........

Salaame ishk meri jaan

This mujra is the best dance that ive ever seen...and picturised beautifully too in 'Muqaddar ka Sikandar...
Kishoreda was probably the only one who could have sung this song...the power...the thrust....ultimate...backed with effect of showing that you are drunk.....
The nightingale is as usual...brilliant...again i dont think anyone else could have sustained that fever pitch so beautifully as Lataji could have...
Hence i have retained the original pitch and form....
My experience in singing this song has given me a different high in touching those chords without creating that THD....something which has taken years now of singing...and im happy with the way this number has shaped up...
looking forward to your expert comments though....

Mere Sapnon ki Raani

This song has one of the best tempo's that ive ever liked in Kishoreda;s arrey of songs.
That josh...that masti....i loved it!remember...it was Kishore Kumar's second innings as a playback singer with Aradhana...and what a way he scored....
And i replicated it....
I thoroughly enjoyed recording this song after years and held onto that thrust and power like no ones business....
You'll tell me the result....

i remember storm used to tell me...that all these kind of masti bhara romantic songs suits your style...so heres one again for you...give me a feedback though.....
the bongo beat in this number is awesome...And Khanna with his lipstick looks....well...ravishing...
Enjoy...Mere Sapnon ki raani kab aayegi tu.....

Tumne mujhe dekha

A tribute to the rockstar of the 70's....Shammi Kapoor....
The Film-Teesri Manzil...a film having the legendary RD Burman in his probably first film after being in the shadow of his illustrious father.....the movie...a suspense thriller...
This song is a complete Emotional romantic number and the nuances used by RD to get Rafisaab to do his bit reminds me of the same way kishoreda does in his songs....
I dedicate this song to my pyaara bro-in-law,since it was his farmaish.. that i record this number....
So here..s to you Sanju....
Tumne mujhe dekha....

Aaj ki Raat mere

Ram Aur Shyam....A film with Dilip Kumar playing the buffoon and the Hero....and with Waheeda looking gorgeous throughuout the film....
Rafisaab and Dilip Kumar had the knack of tuning themselves with each other so well and hence it was difficult to match that kind of tuning..unless of course you match Rafisaab's style...perfectly....
This song is a farewell to the person in life that you have loved and you wish all the best for that person....
So... i have decided to blog it....Simple...
My new Rafi number...and another Heartbreaking song for your reckoning....
Im sure my bro in law Sanjay will like it....
So heres the first one for you Sindhi.....Youre farmaish's will follow....InshaAllah...
