FOREVER MOHD RAFI:
SUNO SUNO AI DUNIYA WALO BAPU KI YEH AMAR KAHANI: MP 3
Several years earlier, Lata had rendered the same song live before an audience comprising, among others, the then Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, and it had brought tears to his eyes. Similarly, when Mohammed Rafi sang a patriotic song on the life of Mahatma Gandhi on the occasion of India's first Republic Day function, Suno suno ai duniya waalo Bapu ki ye amar kahani it had moved Nehru to tears.
