In an interview with Living Legend Pyarelalji ------------------------------------------------------------------------ How did you convince Lataji to sing cabaret songs in Inteqam? We did not require any convincing. She was always sure that we would never give her a substandard tune. In 1967 Laxmi and I had gone to Lebanon. Over there, we met the famous Arabic singer Fayrooz and became quite friendly with her husband. They introduced us to their music and we were quite impressed. In ‘Aa Jaane Jaan’, we tried to bring in that kind of soft rendition style in the cabaret genre and Lataji was simply brilliant in that. She breathed life into our tune. Just listen how beautifully she renders the ‘Aa lala lala lala lala’ part of the song. No other singer could have managed to bring such finesse into that expression. Also a lot of credit of that song’s popularity must go to Helen, who danced on screen singing the song and to P.L. Raj, the choreographer who conceptualized that dance.
