This was an unforGe(e)t(t)able tune

“I don’t know what you said. I don’t know what I heard. But something wonderful did transpire.”*

The amazing thing that happened was the shorter of the two Geeta Dutt solos from Pyaasa, which continues to be popular.

The track in question was Jaane Kya Tune Kahi, which was four minutes and ten seconds long.

(*Note: This is nothing but an attempt to translate it. Needless to say, it doesn’t even pretend to do justice to either the words, which were penned by Sahir Ludhianvi, or the tune, which was composed by S D Burman.)
