Mohammed Rafi capitalised yet again

From singing about a Japanese doll stealing his heart in Love In Tokyo to telling a woman that she won’t get an opportunity like this again in An Evening In Paris, Mohammed Rafi has done it all.

The latter, of course, was the translation of, “Aji aisa mauka phir kahan milega”, the title song of the Shammi Kapoor-starrer, which, if my memory of learning French in school serves me right, should’ve been titled Soir.

Undoubtedly, the highlight of the Shankar Jaikishan composition, which was penned by Hasrat Jaipuri, was Rafi’s enunciation of the word Paris.
