Filmfare, for the same year however, awarded a song that worked not only as the title song for its movie, but went on to become the anthem for a whole generation that was weaned on Beatles & Hippie culture.
This song also created a star sensation out of a new-comer and remained her identity forever. The singer of the song, who won the award for her singing, won accolades from everyone. In fact Kishore Kumar went on to say that the song was powerful enough to bring a dead person to life.
Starting with lead guitar riffs - played by Bhupendra,and Transicord played by Charanjit Singh - the song slowly build up a psychedelic mood, before it explodes with Asha Bhosle's sultry & husky voice.
And just to think, the Director of the movie had almost rejected the song thinking it may not be popular. It was only at the insistence of the music director that the song was retained - though in bits & pieces in the movie. It is only in a LP that you get this full song. Anyways, as they say - rest is history.
So here it is - the song that got Asha Bhosle best female singer award from Filmfare in the same year when Amar Prem was released
