Dedication - "Din Dhal Jaaye"

"Din Dhal Jaaye" from Guide, sung by Mohd. Rafi. 

The story goes that Rafi gave umpteen takes for this song. And at that time there was no chopping and recording sections. The entire song had to be done again from start to end.


S D Burman was the music director. After some time he went up to Rafi and asked "Why are you doing retakes? Every time I found your singing perfect."

Rafi sahab said "At the end of the song there is 'Aise mein kisko kaun manaaye'. The emphasis on 'kaun' that you put when explaining it to me, I am not getting it. Once I get it, I will stop."


S D Burman had no answer to this. Rafi kept singing. And stopped when he got it.


They don't make them like they used to anymore.
