Another Cabaret! Another RD & Asha combination!!
This time, however, instead of Helen, its Mumtaz, while breath rhythm is used by RD for RK.
Breath Rhythm's creative utilisation in "Piya Tu... "was something that RD introduced in one of the Durga Pooja songs in 1969 and then used it at least in two Hindi songs. One was Piya Tu..and the another was in the same year in Apna Desh, where RD used his own voice to Rajesh Khanna .
The song was another runaway hit. In fact, though RD lost out to Be-imaan for the music award, as a measure of his music's popularity, in 1972, of the top 19 songs of Binaca Geet Mala's annual list, RD had composed 8 of them - with Dum Maro Dum topping the chart, and this one coming 7th.
Enjoy another great composition with superb Sax piece mixing into Tango in the interlude. The clip this time is of RD & Asha performing on an old DD show (though seemingly doing a lip-sync).
And just to showcase the difference that Helen used to make to any cabaret, here is the clip from the movie, with Mumtaz trying her best and yet somehwere falling short when it comes to putting dance floor on fire..
