Man, you are so amazing! I was a TV professional, working at ITN and Siras TV in Sri Lanka for over 13 years. Have seen and worked in so many professional musical recordings. I am saying your performance is so great compared to all those professional recordings that I have seen.
Keep it up. Are you planning to do any original song of your own? If so, you may want to do a song in the same line as Jothipala songs and old Hindi songs that you have performed here. Those songs are so musical and your voice and singing style match them so well.

Congratulations and wish you good luck!

Thanks,
Vipula

Hi Vipula.

First of all, thank you for taking time to write encouraging comments and listening to the songs. Very much appreciate it. I am not planning to do any recordings of my own songs at the moment but will keep the option open. Thank you for the advice. Please come and visit again.

Wishing you good luck in your work line too!!!

Cheers,
Shantha

Shantha, it is funny! I am stuck with Rafi sahab's songs forever, I guess. This song reminded me of a Rafi song "Dekha Hai Teri Aankhon Mein". It is common in our industries to have several versions of a famous song. Regardless, loved listening to it.

Keep adding more songs. please!

Dear Azamji,

OMGosh!!!
I knew it, I knew it..... in fact the tune is so familier and rememberd this song in Rafi sahab's collection but I could not find it at the time I was doing this recording and gave it up. Thank you so much. I am feeling like one who found a lost treasure now. Couldn't thank you enough. Like you are, I am also die hard fan of Rafi sahab. You know what ....... now I can't wait to record this song in Hindi.

If you want to see the song what Azamji was talking about.... see it here also while listening pay attention to how much variations he injected every time when he delivers Pyar Hi Pyar alone (this is the original song sung by the greatest Mohammed Rafi back in 1969 talk about evergreen songs)

Cheers,
Shantha
