tl;dr: Please give me original good quality source of the Bappi;s Habiba album
I have always listened to his disco/funk/electro and have always thought - blasphemy - one other person did it better. But that is for another day. *
Today and for some days to come, I really want to listen to all of Bappi-da's non-Bombay film industry works - his other albums. But I hardly find any reference to those in the mainstream obits.
One thing I found was an album he did with his daughter, called Habiba. There is only one song of the entire album available on Youtube. And there is hardly any other mention of this album anywhere else.
But on trawling youtube more, many people between 40 and 50 have happily posted *their own* videos of dancing to this song!
Then I went looking for this song specifically and found that Javed Jaffrey's done a number to this tune!
It's all very stunning.
I am already seeking out Bappi-da's non-Bollywood work in various search engines, but I am so far drawing a blank.
I am sure, you all enlightened people can help - Greatest hits CDs, unknown hits links, etc.
But most of all, Habiba in a pure source (at least better than Youtube) and if possible, even one of your video-cassette recording of JJ
* You know who, of course!
