A few years ago my friend David the Psychonaut gave me an mp3 file with the greatest song, "Jan Pehechan-Ho" by Mohammed Rafi.

Rafi may rule, but Kishore is the king!
What are they ON?!
As seen in Ghost World!
It's the TWIST! I haven't seen anybody do that since I was knee-high to a duck!
I saw this first in ghost world too. It appears only in part in the movie but you can watch the whole clip as an extra in the dvd.
So strange! A meld of sixties surf guitar with thirties musical movie Astair/Rogers dance and production style. All that with a bit of Latin beat thrown in... quite a melange!

Yes Ramesh - That is why Rafi got voted the Artist of the Millenium and Kishore did not. Grow Up!
Kishore kumar is nowhere near Mohammed Rafi saahab... kishore kumar is a devotee of rafi himself
those people who have sense of music believes that mohaamad rafi is best &vice versa take e.g. of all legendary singers opinion
