Friends in the last weekend blog, I wrote about the combination Madan Mohan & Lata Mangeshkar and what masterpiece songs this team had created. Today I am writing about Madan Mohan’s combination with Mohd Rafi and even these songs are also masterpiece in their own right. Such was Madan Mohan’s combination with both Lata Mangeshkar& Mohd Rafi that whatever songs they created, they all became songs forever to remember. Today I am listing below top songs of Mohd Rafi which were composed by Madan Mohan. Please note that the list is in random order with their YouTube links:
1 Tum Jo Mil Gaye Ho To Yeh Lagta Hai- from Hanste Zakhm and written by Kaifi Azmi. On screen Navin Nischal & Priya Rajvansh,
