A few days ago someone said to me that great singers never sing cover versions of other singers so i shudnt upload version songs. It was then i looked for version songs sung by Big singers and i was surprised to note big guns there viz. I uploaded Ghulam Ali's Version yesterday and today am presenting a rare version song sung by none other than the first Ghazal King of Indo-Pak Talat Mahmood and the original song of Film Bhabhi was sung by another Alltime Great Singer Muhammad Rafi :)
Leme quote you a brief history of this rare recording in the words of Khalid Mahmood (Son of Talat Mahmood and a good singer himself) He narrates, "During 50's HMV wanted to copy the West (where one hit English song was sung by many singers) and create VERSION RECORDINGS of popular Hindi songs. Since Talat Mahmood was the most popular singer in those days they persuaded him to do the first recording 'Chal ud ja re panchi' which Mohd Rafi had sung for film 'BHABHI'. Similarly, HMV wanted Rafi to sing a Mukesh hit and Hemant Kumar to record a Talat hit. But this idea of singing other singers songs was not going down very well with the singers and they got together to finally decide against going ahead with this VERSION RECORDINGS idea of HMV. Seeing the singers opposition, HMV decided to drop this idea of VERSION RECORDINGS entirely after that. But by this time 'Chal ud ja re panchi' sung by Talat was already in the market, releasing as 'Version Recording FT21027 Twin/Black Label 78 RPM'. That is how one can hear the 'BHABHI' film song "Chal udja re panchi" in the voices of both singers - Mohd Rafi (from the film) and Talat Mahmood (from the version recorded by HMV) !!!"
I dun have much time for net else i wanna comment on the importance and various purposes of cover versions. May be on my next cover song upload I'll be able to say something about it. Enjoy the Song plz
Regards

  • Hello Dr Bukhari, ...

    Hello Dr Bukhari,
    are there any other songs of Rafi that are version recorded in the voice of Talat ? On the other note, I am also searching for 'Husn Walon ko na dil do yeh mita detenin hain..' and 'Yeh hawa yeh raat yeh chandni..' by Sajjad Ali Hussein. The later one picked up by Madan Mohan in' Tuje kya sunaoon main dilruba, tere samne mere haal hai'.. look forward to these great uploads from you if you can, pl.. thanks in advance

  • Thank you so much, ...

    Thank you so much, Dr Bukhari. I was totally surprised to notice that, this song was by Rafi and how come I am listening in Talat's voice- who is my all time favorite for last 25 years. Great !! just un-imaginable. Talat has left his impact. Both Rafi and Talat are terrific but can not be compared to each other. I am greatful to you for this unique upload!! Thank you so much once again.

  • One of the most ...

    One of the most moving lyrics to ever come out of Bombay. The Rafi and Talat versions are both equally soul-stirring and convey a touching message about human destiny that all people should ponder from time to time, so our egos will become gentle and not aggressive toward fellow beings. Many thanks for the post.

  • This is a rare song ...

    This is a rare song of Rafi Saheb sung by Talat.Both are beautiful and superb and have a distinct voice quality which shows comparision is not possible. I bet any of our singer stalwarts to include Mukesh, Manna Dey, Kishore Kumar can do the same. Long live Indian music of yesteryears.
