'Today's the 31st death anniversary of Rafi sahab. He was an honest and a lovely human being. My family and Rafi sahab shared a great relationship together. It's my honour that I got an opportunity to sing maximum number of songs with him,' Lata posted on her Twitter page.

'We have worked in almost 315 films and have sung 414 duets together. We can never have such a great singer again,' she added.

They have given evergreen hit songs like 'Bekhudi mein sanam', 'Haye re haye', 'Chhup gaye saare nazare' among others.

The singer died of a heart attack in Mumbai July 31, 1981, at the age of 56.

Sonu Nigam has now collaborated with Britney Spears on a remix of her I Wanna Go track.  Says Britney on her microblogging site: "So excited about having Sonu on I Wanna Go.

His vocals add such a different feel which I love. Watch out Bollywood. It's Sonu and Britney." 

In reply Sonu tweets: "India loves you Britney. Welcome to Bollywood! Am loving the fact that it's our collaboration that marks your first step here. God bless you and more power to great music." 


Sonu, who is currently shooting for a video in Ladakh, had kept the news under wraps as he wanted Britney to announce it. He has composed and written his bits in the song. 

Sonu had also collaborated with Jermaine Jackson and had jammed with him at a recent film awards event in Toronto.

Former Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger, who collaborated with A R Rahman and other musicians for a new band Super Heavy, have released their first single Miracle Worker. 

"It took me way back to my high school days when I was playing in a rock band, but this one was a real one!" said Rahman. Jagger says he couldn't believe that the band would actually come to life.

"I said it sounds like a good idea, I never thought it would actually happen."
