I think chain se aaapne mujhe kabhi jeene na diya is OP-Asha Black Swan song - a rendition enshrined in our memory as Asha-OP parting gift. All the more because this song fetched Asha 1974 Filmfare.OP belatedly admitted he was not the same force (just like C Ramahachandran was not without Lata ji) without Asha and he had passed his prime.Simply put Asha had moved on OP could not. Asha had moved onto new music pacesetter who would take her career to dizzying heights never to come back...and would eventually become her soul mate (Pancham da as we call him lovingly).
