Another hit song of Mem Sahib. Thouth the song was also in Kishore's voice too, I prefer Ashsa' version. Just forget that the tune was a total copy of a Western tune, just enjoy the song!
If you listen to the versions by Billy Vaughn or Henry Mancini or Lawrence Welk, you will change your mind. No matter how you look at it, a copy-cat is a copy-cat.
I totally agree with you that both Kishore's and Asha's version are fantastic. The original Western song is 1935's 'Isle of Capri' and I personally think that Madan Mohan has actually improved the original song by adding much better instrumentation.
Fine

I may not agree that Asha's version is better than Kishore's! Both are good.
Will you please tell me about the original Western song, from which this song was copied?
