Kishore, Rafi & Manna Dey - all RD's favourites & all had fair share of contribution in his music.
Wait, are we not missing out on someone? Yes, Mukesh!
Surprisingly, Mukesh sang very few songs for RD. One reason could be his untimely early death in 1974. But even otherwise, apart from one duet - Pyar ka Fasana, Bana le Dil Deewana - which he sang for Teesra Kaun, a 1965 movie, there was no composition where Mukesh lent his voice till 1970.
Then came another milestone movie of RD's career - 7 compositions and all evergreen classics. In this movie, though he used Kishore Kumar's voice for the hero, for one song, he used Mukesh and what a song that turned out to be! Holding on its own amidst some of the memorable ones of Kishore from this movie.
Listen to this amazing song with Mukesh, RD & Anand Bakshi teaming up to add maturity & depth to the wooing of Asha Parekh by Rajesh Khanna in Kati Patang:
Aa ye rasame ye kasame sabhi tod ke
Tu chali aa chunar pyaar ki odh ke
Yaa chalaa jaaugaa mai ye jag chhod ke
Jis jagah yaad teri sataane lage
Us jagah ek pal bhi thaharanaa nahi
