Say You Love Me O Mehboobah!

Rings any bells?
Think bollywood's crossing over? Think 'gain. Sung in exactly the same throaty-nasal voice that RD Burman rendered the hindi song in, a simple search will let you know the truth. This song is 'Say You Love Me' by Greek singer Demis Roussos, released a couple of years before Sholay was being filmed. The song was almost completed copied, note-for-note, by the late great R D Burman. Even the throaty-nasal voice, was dutifully emulated from Roussos. Now thats something Anu Malik may take relief from!
