The (Bho)s(o)le female solo rocked

Sandwiched between the Mohammed Rafi solos on the soundtrack of Phir Wohi Dil Laya Hoon was the lone female solo in the film – Aankhon Se Jo Utri Hai.

It was rendered by none other than Asha Bhosle.

O P Nayyar – who was as famous for his refusal to employ the vocals of Lata Mangeshkar for his compositions as he was instrumental in making Bhosle the legend she became – composed the song, which was penned by Majrooh Sultanpuri.

Paraphrasing a line from the track, it wouldn’t be incorrect to say, “Kya baat hai is gaane ki”.
