Rafi and Raj rocked (Pray)again

If the five songs of Jab Jab Phool Khile (1965) were to be arranged in the alphabetical order, Affoo Khuda would be the first.

And that was precisely what most Hindi film music aficionados might yell on listening to it.

While the track was rendered by the one and only Mohammed Rafi, the refrain Affoo Khuda was credited to Prayag Raj.

So, apart from recreating the Yahoo magic, it proved to be the turning point in the career of the man who penned it – Anand Bakshi.

The song was composed by the Shah brothers – Kalyanji-Anandji.
