Mukesh became the playback voice of Raj Kapoor but the defining Mukesh song (for me) is Kahin Door Jab Din Dhal Jaaye sung for Rajesh Khanna. Kishore was Rajesh Khanna& #39;s playback voice but the defining Kishore da song (for me) is Ghungroo ki Tarah sung for Shashi 1/4
Rafi sahab was the chosen voice for Shashi and Kishore da for Big B, but the one song I can& #39;t separate from Rafi sahab (if I just had to pick one) is Din Dhal Jaaye sung for Dev Anand in Guide and Kabhie Kabhie Mere Dil Mein for Big B sung by Mukesh 2/4
Meanwhile, Talat became the voice of Dilip sahab but the quintessential Talat song for me is Jalte Hain Jiske Liye & Itna Na Mujhse Tu Pyaar Badha sung for Sunil Dutt, & the song I most associate with Dilip sahab is Ye Mera Deewaanapan Hai sung by Mukesh & not Talat or Rafi 3/4
You might think I& #39;m going for some kind of broader point about the versatility of our great playback singers and how their onscreen pairings didn& #39;t limit their potential. But no. I just wanted to talk about some of my favourite songs. That& #39;s all. That& #39;s the tweet 4/4
