Rafi sang this wonderful solo

If the three songs from Meri Surat Teri Aankhen (1963) were to be arranged in the alphabetical order, Naache Man Mora Magan would be the first.

It was four minutes and 40 seconds long.

While there’s no two ways about the fact that the S D Burman composition, which was based on Raga Bhairavi, was among Mohammed Rafi’s best, it would be unfair if the man who accompanied him on the tabla – Pt Samta Prasad – were denied his due credit. 

Burman postponed the recording of the track until Prasad arrived from Varanasi. 

Shailendra penned it.
