Rafi’s solo made waves internationally

Spread across my blogs, Jaan Pehchan Ho was the fourth song from Gumnaam (1965) in my collection.

Shailendra wrote the Shankar Jaikishan composition, which was rendered by Mohammed Rafi.

I was aware of the international trivia associated with the track – it featured in the opening credits of the 2001 Hollywood film Ghost World.

It also featured on a 2008 CD titled Bollywood Steel Guitar, a compilation released by the record label Sublime Frequencies.

The song was picturised on actress and dancer Laxmi Chhaya, choreographer Herman Benjamin, and a band named Ted Lyons and His Cubs.
