We have listened to the duets of Mohammad Rafi and Lata Mangeshkar for the year 1949.We will take up Mohammad Rafi’s duets with Suraiya and Shamshad Begum in the present post.
Some of the duets of Suraiya or Shamashad Begum are shared by several other male playback singers. In nay case, both of these female plyaback singers had had more solos than duets to sing this year. As a result, we have a fairly smaller share of their respective duets with Mohammad Rafi.
Quantity apart, each player has their own very contribution to make in the final effect that their duets leave on the listener.
