I recall
listening to the male version of the title track of Tumsa Nahin Dekha many times over the years, but it was when I set
about adding songs to my collection that I read an anecdote about this song,
which was penned by Sahir Ludhanvi.
Mohammed Rafi’s fallout
with the composer is well documented. Upon their patch-up, he crooned, “Yun toh humne lakh sangeetkaar dekhe hain, O
P Nayyar sa nahin dekha” (Though I’ve seen numerous composers, I haven’t
seen anyone like O P Nayyar).
Isn’t that the
fans’ opinion of the singer too?
