Rap may have gained
currency, thanks to the likes of Baba Sehgal in the 1990s, and Yo Yo Honey
Singh and Badshah of late.
But dear Hindi film music buffs, thou shalt not forget the Dada (granddaddy) of the genre – actor Ashok Kumar (a.k.a. Dadamoni).
He rendered the most popular song in Aashirwad (1968) – Rail Gaadi.
The Vasant Desai composition, which was penned by Harindranath Chattopadhyay, was the only song from the film on this blog.
Although the track is more hummable than some of the present-day rap numbers, Kumar certainly blessed the aforementioned rappers.
