Mohammed Rafi – Jaan Pehechaan Ho (1965)

Now, some of you might think this is wedding footage from a very old friend of mine formally of Hong Kong and now of New York. And, remarklably, when he is on the dancefloor, this is pretty much what happens.

However, my lawyers have encouraged me to make clear that any resemblances are entirely coincidental.

What we have here is a remarkable, twangy guitar driven dance classic from the 1965 Indian film Gumnaam.

As someone commented somewhere on the Youtube links, how good would this have been if covered by the B-52s?

Nonetheless, a remarkable song and performance.
