Rafi channelled his inner Elvis

Jhuk Gaya Aasman released in 1968. Rajendra Kumar’s Jubilee Kumar phase had ended by then*.

Its most popular song was Kaun Hai Jo Sapnon Mein Aaya (which was the only song from the film on this blog).

Hasrat Jaipuri penned the Shankar Jaikishan composition, which Mohammed Rafi rendered. It was inspired by Marguerita, from Elvis Presley’s 1963 album Fun In Acapulco.

[*Note: It ended with Suraj (1966). The title track of Kumar’s next, Palki (1967) – Mere Ghar Se Pyar Ki – was dropped from this playlist. Shakeel Badayuni penned the Naushad composition, which Manna Dey rendered.]
