The joys of youtube!

I just stumbled across a rare Talat Mahmood song on youtube and just have to talk about it! Its a song originally sung by Mohammed Rafi for the film Bhabhi (1955). According to lovehumanity who posted it, this was recorded by HMV as part of their VERSION RECORDINGS series in the 50s where they had famous singers sing popular songs of other singers.

Here's the original song in Bhabhi:

I never knew famous Bollywood singers ever recorded songs sung by other famous singers (except lately as homage to legendary movie figures) and its a treat to have Talat Mahmood and Mohammed Rafi versions of a great song.
I loooove youtube!!! :-)
