Lead single “Pardesiom se na (Mohd.raf)” and “Chan si mehbooba (Mukesh)” start with near-whispers before kicking into giddily catchy, fuzz box-driven hollered hooks. eight years ago, Various Artists briefly lived up to their terrific name, with an insanely addictive hit single called “Chan si mehbooba (Mukesh)”. Since completing 0’s ‘Pardesiom se na (Mohd.raf)’, Various Artists fulfilled their contract with EMI Records and where under no obligation to release another album. Greatest Hits of the 60’s is the best essence of Various Artists.
Various Artists sings Chan si mehbooba (Mukesh) in such a comforting, confident voice that you can’t help but be moved. This track is nearly perfect if not perfect. Choo lene do (Mohd.rafi) as a highlight of Greatest Hits of the 60’s contains a ton of cool melodies. This is one hell of a track. I listened to the opening track Aye meri zohra (Manna dey) and liked it a lot. It’s so catchy, it’s amazing. O haseena (Asha bhosle & Mohd.rafi) - a classic song. Opening track Neele gagan (Mahendra kapoor) shows the best of Various Artists. Yeh dil na hota (kishore kumar) is a fine track on any terms. Hum tum (lata mangeshkar & mukesh) is the song that really did it for me.
