The later duets include: R.D.’s ‘’ ( Humshakal, 1974), R.D’s ‘’ ( Chandi Sona, 1977), Rajesh Roshan’s ‘’( Baaton Baaton Mein, 1979), forgotten beauties like R.D.’s ‘’, (Gulzar’s Ratnadeep (1979), and the exquisite ‘’ by the obscure Hemant Bhosle ( Nazrana Pyar Ka, 1980).And rescued from oblivion: in fond memory of Radio Kathmandu that featured it frequently in its Hindi film song programme between 10.15-10.45 pm every night in medium wave: Bappi Lahiri’s ‘’ ( Hum Rahe Na Hum, 1984), by Kaifi Azmi. For a flavour of Kishore-Asha duets, there’s S.D’s ‘’ ( Funtoosh, 1956) and ‘’ ( Paying Guest, 1957), and Ravi’s ‘’ ( Dilli Ka Thug, 1958).
