Rafi RendereD this (Y)am(m)azing song

It wouldn’t be incorrect to state that Yamma Yamma was the catchiest song on the soundtrack of Shaan.

The film released on December 12, 1980 – twelve days before what would have been the 56th birthday of Mohammed Rafi, one of the two men who lent the track his voice.

R D Burman’s involvement in the song wasn’t restricted to composing it, but he was the other crooner too.

Ironically, Rafi sang the line that went, “Yeh zindagi ek lamba safar” (which could be translated to, “This life is a long journey”).

Anand Bakshi penned it.
