His another famous song is Chalo Ek Baar Phir Se from Gumraha. Another famous song was Nile Gagan ke Tale, Dharti ka Piyar Phale.
As it was popular in 60s and 70s that each singer was identified with some leading hero of that period, therefore, as Mukesh was popular playback for Raj Kapoor then Mohinder Kapoor was made a team with Manoj Kumar. No doubt, many patriotic songs by Mohinder Kapoor are still popular. Among them, the popularity of Mere Desh kee Dharti Sona Ugle of Upkar of Manor Kumar is still recognized.
