One more song can be added to the list of memorable (non-film) Mohammed Rafi numbers (Friday Review, “The legend lives on...”, August 12). It is the recorded tribute to Mahatma Gandhi brought out by HMV just a few weeks after he was assassinated. Titled ‘Bapu ki amar kahani’, the song was in four parts in two 78-rpm records. Penned by brilliant song-writer Rajendra Krishan with music composed by the popular music director duo Husnlal Bhagatram, Rafi breathed life into in characteristic style.
