22) After Madan Mohan's death, his son replaced the OSTs of all his songs with the quality enhanced. He took those songs from the film source material added stereo effects and unleashed them

23) Lata fought with Shankar when he was tongue-tied before the debutante singer Sharda who was hoarse, but beautiful. On Shankar's giving Sharda a chance to sing, Lata commented "Pyar Andha Hi Nahin, Behara Bho Hota Hai"

24) Manna Dey, during the 60s had only chances to sing for side actors because of the popular duos :
Kishore-Dev Anand
Mukesh-RK
And Rafi-Shammi
Manna had no specific actor to sing for.

And let's not forget that Sangam 1964 also had a short kissing scene between two French actors in the Eiffel Tower scene.

23) During the final recording of the song 'Piya Piya Piya Mera Jiya Pukare' from Baap Re Baap (1955), Asha Bhosle accidentally sang into Kishore Kumar's line. Kidhore then indicated from his hand that it's ok and he sang his part. After the recording, Asha apologized and suggested to record it again. But Kishore coolly said that since he was the actor in the film, he said that he'd cover the actresses mouth when that accidental part comes.
