In December 1979, Mohammed Rafi recorded six songs - four in Film Center studio and two in Mehboob studio with Robin Chatterjee as sound engineer.

The songs were youthful and covered various shades of romance.

Thirty years later, the songs after being recovered, restored and digitized, is out for release on Universal Music as 'The Last Songs'.

Rajeeta Hemwani - Vice President - Content/ A&R – Universal Music said, "'The Last Songs' is a collection of the most precious songs by Mohammad Rafi, the greatest musical legends of all times. I say precious because the songs were hidden from his fans from more than 30 years after being recorded.

"The very fact that they can be heard now, makes the collection a rare collector's item something that millions of fans across the world would love to hear and own. We, at Universal Music, are proud to bring Rafi saab's last songs to all his fans."

The album honours the memory of the legendary Rafi Saab, music director Chitragupta (Bada Aadmi, Aplam Chaplam, Opera House, Main Chup Rahoongi), lyricist Kafeel Aazar and film director Dilip Bose (Chandi Ki Diwar (1964), Sansar (1971), Thokar (1974), Sikka (1976), Badnaam (1976).

Anand, son of Chitragupta assisted his father on the project. Years later, he and his brother Milind went on to form one of the most successful music composer duo of India, Anand-Milind.
