'The Last songs' tribute to Mohammed Rafi
 30 years later, the songs after being recovered, restored and digitized, is being released for all Rafi fans
Thirty years post the demise of legendary singer, Mohammad Rafi, Universal Music launches the unreleased songs of the maestro and Asha Bhosle in an a exclusive album 'The Last Songs'. The collection of songs have been recovered, restored and digitized and is out for release.
'The Last Song' is a tribute to the legend who lent his voice to the Hindi Film Industry (1950s -1980s), making history. This never-before-heard album is a gift to icon's adhering fans who consider Rafi Ji's music, still endearing and close to heart. His voice, still fresh, continues to fill the void his death left behind. Rafi Ji's voice, ranging from the melancholic to the boisterous, was such that it suited every mood and every occasion in films. His voice brought to life hundreds of melodies & years after his death, he lives on eternally. His movies might have been forgotten but not his songs.
On his death, Rafi left behind a rich legacy of songs sung by him over 35 years. The collection of these songs are now well on their way to becoming a collector's item. These six songs from the album 'The Last songs' were recorded in December 1979 for the film, 'Sorry Madam' directed by Dilip Bose. But the film did not see a release date. The four songs where recorded in the Film Center studio and the other two in Mehboob studio with Robin Chatterjee as sound engineer. These songs are youthful and cover various shades of romance.
The music of this film was composed by Chitragupt and the songs were sung by both, Mohammed Rafi & Asha Bhosle. Narayani Creative Solutions have bought the music rights & recently decided to release the music of the film as an album. There are plans to make a film with the same title.
The album also contains an audio documentary that has interviews with Anand-Milind and Bobby & Rajesh Bose - sons of Chitragupta and Dilip Bose respectively, reminiscing on the Golden Era of music & film making. This album sure has great value as a collector's item.
