Only the peppy nos of the 50s or 60s have been made into a so called remix... But why no effort to bring out the classic songs of that era?? Thr r many classics available in 40s too.. Who knows about Noor Jehan now?? Why not popularize her songs??
Why this special attention for RDB and Kishore??? They are trying to find new kishore from the reality shows... This is in a way popularizing the songs of Kishore too... Why no effort for others??
well Asha and O.P. had a falling out and split ways...so i guess maybe thats why...but its just that the RDB and Kishore combo created alot of good songs...that many people remember...we all know that alot of the younger generation only goes as far back as around the 70's maybe 60's at most...and during the 70's they came out with sooo many hit songs...songs in sholay...Anamika....Namak Haram...Amar Prem...so they are still remembered...and Asha had a combo with Kishore ji also...they sang many songs together....ad if you look at the awards won by Kishore ji...it was mostly late 60's (69) to mid 80's (85)....so fairly recent....and those are the songs that first come to mind....roop tera mastana....khaike paan banaraswala....pag ghungroo baandh.....mere sapno ki rani....so we all know those songs....and they were all RD-Kishore combos........while Rafi basically won awards during the 60's and was the top singer during the 50's and 60's....so basically the fact that Kishore and RD were more recent and were featured in more recent films means that more people in this generation have heard them and seen movies featuring their songs....not many kids watch movies from the 50's or even 60's....most people remember the 70's and 80's...which were the years of Kishore and RD.....but in the music industry...everyone respects the greats and no one needs to compare them because they all were great...
