Re: CLASSICS (songs) OF YESTERYEARS
When the World War-II ended
Europe was in shackles.
A huge planning on repair & restoration
was required. Some allies went against
each other and sabotage, arson and
kidnapping cases against some countries..
increased…
This led to Hollywood coming up
with a fantastic movie
“THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH”
(Starring James Stewart and others)
The movie based on a British Govt.
secret service official who’s son is kidnapped
and his wife remembers her son
by singing a song…
That song became the song of Europe
then..and maintained its popularity
from 1950 through 1964
when every restaurant, every hotel
every jukebook…only played
this song an people with tears in
their eyes…sat silently and heard this song
in total serenity.
THIS SONG and its very strong impact
still contnues..at games and
on relevant occasions
(I am a witness to the large number
of Scots at Glasgow’s St.George’ Square
the day Scotland & Italy met at
the final of EuroCup Qualifier…
and everyone including myself
were singing this CLASSIC by Doris Day)

***When Kishore Kumar was given the script to sing the subject song, it took him three hours to rehearse and also to make a major change in the tune or dhunn..which was set to be a sad one.
***Kishore convinced Nashaad and evolved the sad dhunn to a merry one…still extricating the sadness in a happy way…beautifully and rythmically..!
***It is said that the author of the lyrics of this song is unknown but there are certain facts on which I am currently trying to go to the core of the matter…as someone very very close to me…is said to be the author or writer of this song in 1956-57 the script of which was taken to India by one of the then, leading actress of India (LEELA) visiting Pakistan then…and had come to Income Tax Office, Karachi for a clearance certificate on some earnings she got through some contract for stage appearance then.
That (the Income Tax Certificate issue) happened with famous singer Talat Mahmood also when he visited Karachi in 1959-60 and had to perform at the Pakistan Taxation Club, Garden Road, Karachi at the request of the then, Income Tax Commissioner of Karachi and Talat was given a clearance certificate.

**Yes..I have that song on the CD but since I have a collection of 2000 CDs of OLD and New songs....they are all mixed up...and everyday..past few weeks I am taking out time to re-arrange the mess....of the pottage....to put my audio-DV stuff in order at my library. The movie DVs number to 1500...which too need to be serialized...as a data base on my laptop and USB.... **
I will put the youshare link of your choice...by the weekend.
I remember this song picturized on Nadeem and Deeba. Cant remember the movie at the moment...but it has a hit movie..alright.
MOIN AKHTAR!!!!!!!!!! never....he was never a playback singer..though he did sing some songs and made private cassettes commercially. I think this song was sung by Ahmed Rushdie...or Masud Rana.

When the name of TRINI LOPEZ
(no reference to Jennifer Lopez)
comes in mind…one lets his hair down
and gets into the good ‘teenage’ mood
**even now…after 38 years since
TRINI LOPEZ **
became the
**chocolate cream singer **
of females & males at schools.
His super hit song
“Lemon Tree” shot him to fame
and his love for America…
**mae him sing this song…
which is inspirational **
and thought provoking.
Enjoy…

Re: CLASSICS (songs) OF YESTERYEARS

Uncle can u start a thread of Pakistani songs of the yesteryears, I don't have a collection of Pakistanis oldies, please ???
Ok! not for me only, but for some of us interested, please?
Re: CLASSICS (songs) OF YESTERYEARS
arjay uncle, I am specifically looking for the song, *'Gori Ghunghat Main Sharmaaye' *I think sung by rangeela, if you have it, please share ...
Re: CLASSICS (songs) OF YESTERYEARS
Some ideas on this thread are very good & thought provoking.
Since I never dedicated this thread for any particular genre or category or language, I think we'll go for the mixture but essentially OLDIES in URDU and ENGLISH.....
A song or music or two...each day!! and suggestions welcome BUT please ensure that the age of the song or music...should be over 30 years atleast......(leave Atef Aslam, Faakhir, Jawwad etc for SONY & STAR+ now....because that's where they find their final frontier!)
So coming up next are TWO classic oldies of Pakistani & Indian movies which will force you to sing the song alongside hearing it..after downloading...I do promise you that.

Since M. Kaleem belonged...basically to the Radio Pakistan-Karachi stock artiste group--I posed your Q on Qazi Wajid...and he confirms that...it WAS M.Kaleem who sang it....!
