Dev Anand's Song without his Trademark Playback Singers

Dev Anand represents a particular era of history of Hindi cinema of which he was an integral part for almost 65 years. He had a huge influence on Hindi cinema and beyond it.He hypnotised generations of audience.Music in his films laid a benchmark for the other Hindi films. His association with playback singers like Rafi and Kishore Kumar is well known. These 2 singers gave Dev Anand maximum playback, followed by Hemant Kumar.In this Blog I am posting few such songs which were sung by other playback singers,these songs may be surprise for many Dev Anand's fans.
The first song on my list is the song from the film Jeet (1949)
