I posted two favorites from Wafa last month, both composed by Bulo C.Rani. I
will be posting some more BCR-Lata gems over the next few weeks.

Wafa was probably BCR's first collaboration with Lata and Sunehre Qadam is
his last.In fact Sunehre Qadam(1966) was BCR's last movie in HFM. What a way to end the career with not one but two Lata masterpieces. Here's one of them. The way she streches some words emphasising on some syllables is to be heard to be believed.I have heard only 11 Lata songs composed by Bulo C.Rani and all of them range from excellent to out of the world.

Its very ironic that BCR ended his life self immolating himself.
