Mohammed Rafi was loved everywhere

Le gayi dil gudiya Japan ki, aur le gayi har listener ka dil awaaz Mohammed Rafi ki.

There’s no two ways about the fact that the song – which was the title track of Love In Tokyo – was outstanding.

Tracks like these are the reason why the crooner was, is and will always be loved by everyone in Kotla Sultan Singh (his birthplace), Mumbai (his karmabhoomi) and presumably even in Tokyo.

Hopefully, today’s in crowd, on listening to it, will remark, “This Shankar Jaikishan composition, which Hasrat Jaipuri penned, To(o)kyo heart away”. Because it certainly did.
