India News<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><b>Tum mujhey yuun bhula na paaoge</b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">The strains of the itinerant fakir's chants wafted across the gentle summer air of a hamlet in Amritsar. They had done so, day after day, from time immemorial. But, to an impressionable ten year old, the chants were special. He would hum along, and into the day, long after the vagrant's croons had died into the distance. A dozen or so years before the partition, Pheeko and his folks would migrate to Lahore, where, thanks to a brother-in-law with a keen eye for talent, the boy would learn classical music from maestros Ustad Abdul Wahid Khan, Pandit Jiwanlal Matto and Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">A serendipitous opportunity to sing in a KL Saigal concert at the age of 13 and a chance to do vocals for the Punjabi film Gul Baloch in 1941 preceded the inevitable - an offer for a Hindi film, Gaon Ki Gori. Soon, Mumbai beckoned. Many films and hits followed, putting Pheeko on the path to stardom. He had already collaborated with that maestro of a music director, Naushad. But it took a Baiju Bawra in 1952 to catapult both of them to stratospheric heights of fame, and to cement a partnership that would rule the charts of Hindi film music through the 50s and a better part of the 60s. Pheeko lent his voice for nearly every composer on the horizon. His associations with music directors OP Nayyar, SD Burman, Shankar Jaikishan, Madan Mohan and with singers Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle, all legends in their own right, are the stuff of fairytales. Time was when a Pheeko song meant the film was guaranteed to be a blockbuster, regardless of the film-maker, story and cast. He even sang for several nondescript film-makers, sometimes in exchange for pittances. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Without a shadow of doubt, any language would fall short of adjectives in describing the qualities that make Pheeko's voice magical. The pathos of <i>O duniya ke rakhwaale</i>, the relentless pain of <i>Rang aur noor ki baaraat</i>, the lilting romance of <i>Teri Aankhon ke siva, </i>the gay abandon of <i>Aaja Aaja mein huun paar tera, </i>the sensuousness of <i>Na ja kahin ab na ja</i>, the chaste classicism of <i>Man tarpat hari darshan ko, </i>his is a voice that can convey a million emotions. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">With a body of work too stupendous to make even a superficial dent on in this column, and a vocal range more all-encompassing than just three octaves, Pheeko touched the heartstrings of the <i>pamara </i>and the <i>pandita</i> alike. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">They say his golden voice was lost three decades ago. I say we have yet to find it in his entirety. They say Pheeko died on that inauspicious day. I say he merely merged into eternity. No, Pheeko didn't die. Pheekos never die. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Oh, and before I forget, Pheeko charted the path to immortality as Mohammed Rafi. And on this day, I cannot help but quote Anand Bakshi from what was Rafi's last recorded song - </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
