Undoubtedly, Rafi was unstoppable then

Call it the papa of all ironies if you will, but I did chance upon Savere Wali Gaadi (the song from the Shammi Kapoor-starrer Laat Saheb, which released in 1967) while watching a YouTube clip whose ‘Up next’ video was Saveray Wali Gaadi, the 1986 film starring Sunny Deol.

While Kapoor’s moves were the stuff of legend, Deol had two left feet.

Needless to say, it was rendered by Mohammed Rafi, whose ride down melody lane came to a grinding halt after the emergence of Kishore Kumar.

Shailendra penned the song, which Shankar Jaikshan composed.
