I wanted to do a post on Shammi's 'performance' songs - the man was a born performer. Even when he didn't have a audience he was performing, no? 😆 He had that innate rhythm and a feel for music that showed, and even if they're not strictly dances, his performances were more than just singing, or playing an instrument either on stage or in a club. There are soooooo many Shammi club songs - I've lost count.

There are several songs that can make it and are my favorite Shammi songs, but I don't want to repeat songs that have already been posted. So here goes

Shammi and Helen are an unbeatable combo! ⭐️

Shammi is playing the swarmandal here!

It's well-known that Shammi got some of his musical instincts from older brother Raj.

And Raj got the moves, man! The man can dance!

I love Main hoon ek khalasi from this movie but posting this lesser-known one which is like a stage dance-drama & seems to be the inspiration for Mehmood's famous song years later!

Wow what an interesting theme and such beautiful songs posted. With this theme the thread will pakka finish sooner than later 🤩

Starting with this one that Shammi Kapoor takes to a different level of craziness with his moustache look and slow moves. What's even more interesting is, the way Rafi modulates his voice differently every time he sings Taali Ho!

Baar baar dekho from China Town

Vaijayantimala is such a treat to watch while dancing, doesn't she look even more expressive when she dances?

I am so tempted to post Madhuban me radhika for my love of Rafi and Naushad but since might have been posted earlier.. posting a different one from Kohinoor. Singer Asha.

I used to have such a fascination for face off songs/dances This one from Barsaat ki raat. Manna dey and Rafi together along with Asha bhosle

Wow thanks for posting those Goofy!

Baar baar dekho is among my top fave Shammi songs! ⭐️

And Na toh Karvaan ki talaash hai is simply the best Hindi movie qawwali ever, imo! The lyrics, the singing, the music! Unmatched to this day!! ⭐️

And the song from Kohinoor. Kumkum is such an underrated dancer! ⭐️

Here are Helen and her role model, Cuckoo in Yehudi and a rare combo of Geeta Dutt and Lata Mangeshkar playing back!

These twin dancer songs are so fascinating to watch , and I think no one was better at synchronization than Sai- Subbulakshmi! ⭐️ Here’s another one from them from Chori Chori.

I was reading in a blog someplace about the famed feud between Vyjayanthimala and Padmini but the actresses have always spoken respectfully of each other. Was this real or media created? Does anyone know? Madhu?

Yes, the friendly competition between these two incredibly gifted actresses has a fascinating backstory.

While Padmini performed differently and used calm, elegant movements, Vyjayanthimala had danced with more attitude, approaching the performance like a competition, as per her temperament.

Watching their dance is stunning, breath-taking, and shiver-inducing!!

The two beautiful women, Vyjayanthimala and Padmini, were also excellent actors in addition to being highly trained, devoted dancers in the classical Barathanatyam style. During their time, they set very high standards that have never been surpassed in general. Here, the dance depicts their conflict, which is motivated by their love for the man.

Every admirer of the aesthetic sense will experience absolute ecstasy as the dance-off intensifies and turns into a wordless debate.

This will forever be remembered as the best dance competition in the Indian films.

We have not seen anything like this before or after.

Yes, there were interesting stories circulated in those days, but both the gorgeous actresses denied it in their interviews.

Yes, there is an interesting interview given by Padmini, in which she shared the facts behind the friendly rivalry between them in those days.

This is more interesting , Vijayantimala praised Padmini for her flying like dance moves --

Here is the video of that highly acclaimed dancing performance----

Man I love 'Na tho Caravan Ki Talash...' what a song ❤️

Well since we've moved on to more gender neutral stage performances I thought I'd give some more sets! 😃

Starting with this ABSOLUTE BANGER which I don't think can be matched by anything. I'm infatuated by this song. Absolutely besotted you guys.

Unfortunately, we lost one of the great directors of Indian Cinema, K Viswanath is no more.

Yesterday, Raji gifted us Sri Devi's excellent dance performance.

This is Telugu version, the original one.
