Pinjare Ke Pancchi Re_MMM_072313

Here is an iconic duet from Film Sangam (1964), which I am sure is known to most everyone who has slightest of interest in Hindi Cinema and Golden Era Music.  
I suggested this duet to Vidhya ji quite some time ago as I knew she for sure would be able to pull this Giant of a song with her musical talents.  Vidhya ji and I are hoping to entertain you with our humble tribute to the genius team;

Song:  O Mere Sanam; Film:  Sangam (1964); Lyricist:  Shailendra (Shankardas Kasarilal);
MD:  Shanker / Jaikishan; Original Singers:  Lata M & Mukesh

O Mere Sanam_Final_042614_0106

Here is my humble tribute to the great Rafi Saab.  I never saw this film with Dharmendra and Vaijayantimala... the scene is not very natural, that is filmed in the lift (elevator for friends in USA) but I love this song.  Hopefully, you will enjoy my attempt when you have an opportunity to take a listen *with good set of headphones for better listening pleasure*. 

*Song:* Main Kahin Kavi Na Ban JaaooN; *Film:* Pyar Hi Pyar (1969);
*Lyricist:* Hasrat Jaipuri; *MD:* Shankar Jaikishan; *Original Singer:* M. Rafi

Main Kahin Kavi Na Ban JaaooN_

Mr. Purshottam Upadhyay, the MD for this Gujarati song / ghazal is a tremendously talented musician, singer, performer in his own right.  I have always loved this creation and it has been on my do-list for a long time but I am only able to render a song when my mood strikes for the song and luckily for me the past week is when I was in the mood for this gem.  Theme of this gem is “separated lover’s devastation”.
*For enhanced listening pleasure, you may choose to put on a nice pair of headphones*.

Divaso Judaai Naa Jaay Chhe_18

Here is my humble tribute to *Mukesh ji*…. Although, I am late in paying my respects on his Birthday but this one comes from the heart….. Better late than not!!

This is one of the timeless gems immortalized by *Raj Kapoor* through the golden voice of *Mukesh* Saab.  This gem comes from *“Parvarish”* (1958).  *Hasrat Jaipuri* is the lyricist. But two other important pieces of the jigsaw have been replaced here. *Mala Sinha* (NOT Nargis) featured in this movie, and *Dattaram Wadkar* (instead of Shankar Jaikishan) is the music director.  Dattaram led S/J’s rhythm section for a long time and was widely known for introducing the “Dattu Thheka” prominently heard in “Ghadi Ghadi Mera Dil Dhad ke”.

*Song:* Ye Kaun Chitrakaar Hai; *Film:* Boond Jo Ban Gayi Moti (1967); *Lyricist:* Bharat Vyas; *MD:* Satish Bhatia; *Original Singer:* Mukesh

Here is my humble tribute to *Mukesh ji* on his 38th Punyatithi (death anniversary) in the form of a shraddhaanjali with a “different” type of a song.  Here what I mean by “different” is such songs are / were not heard much like other popular songs which were heard everywhere for ever and ever….

This song comes from one of *V. Shantaram’s* must watch movies, “Boond Jo Ban Gayi Moti” (Drop that transformed into a Pearl).  *V. Shantaram* was a very artistic movie maker and always made his movies off a beaten path with a theme; Jhanak Jhanak Paayal Baaje was the Dance theme, so was Jal Bin Machhali..., Geet Gaya Patharon Ne was on Sculpture, Navrang was on poetry ,and so on.  Boond Jo... has a theme on teaching.  Jitendra played a simple village teacher and teaches his pupils the wonderful outdoors and beauty of nature with the praises of the Creator, who has been called a “Chitrakaar” (Painter).  This song is written by *Bharat Vyas* in shuddh Hindi with words like chitrakaar, tapasvi, vriksh….  I love this poetry and the beauty of this song.

*Your listening pleasure may be enhanced with the use of a good set of earphones*

Ye Kaun Chitrakaar Hai_082714_

Here is a memorable oldie from movie Chhabili (1960) with several interesting facts…..  Great actress Nutan also was a great singer and of course we knew about Hemantda!!  S. Ratan penned the lyrics and Snehal Bhatkar was the Music Director.  I am really honored to collaborate with the talented Parasmani ji.  Thanks to Paras ji for a classy mixing and Video presentation.

Laheron Pe Laher...

Here is a beautiful composition by Kalyan ji / Anand ji for Film Satta Bazaar from the golden era (1959).  Original version is a duet by the two melodious singers who are no strangers to all… Hemant Kumar and Lata Mangeshkar.  However I have covered this gem as a solo.  Gulshan Bawara gets the credit for the lyrics.  Searching for the song typically one finds only two stanzas but I have also covered the third stanza as I couldn’t get enough of this haunting melody.

Tumhe Yaad Hogaa_031615_0800PM

Here I humbly present an iconic song from Shor (1972) composed by the legendary team of Laxmikant Pyarelal ji for the words written by Santosh Anand ji.  The song has been picturized as a duet by Lata ji and Mukesh Saheb and a Sad version has been also included in the film as a short solo by Mukesh ji.  

This has been a fav song of mine forever and always wanted to render it. I spent a lot of time on this one but I keep finding some thing or other that I must do different so..... before I lose it... I decided to stop tinkering and share it with friends.  Please pardon the glitches and try to enjoy the song with nice set of headphones for better effects.

Ek Pyaar Kaa Nagmaa Hai_040115

I stumbled upon this beautiful composition by sheer accident and immediately I fell in love with the composition.  After listening for a few times, I also felt this one would be the right challenge for me as in this arrangement; the lines are not repeated and sung quickly plus the lyrics are written in not as predictable manner as I have experienced in many of the songs I have covered so far.

This song is from 2005 film, Rog with lyrics written by Neelesh Misra (new poet for me) and is composed by equally new Music Director for me, M. M. Keeravani, who apparently a very talented and decorated MD for Tamil movies.  Of course one of my all-time fav singers, Udit Narayan ji has given his melodious vocals for this beauty.

Please take a listen with a good pair of headphones for an enhanced listening experience and kindly share your thoughts.

Khoobsurat Hai Woh Itnaa_04191

A special prayer for Peace on Earth for the Earth day; we just passed on 22nd April….  India’s Nightingale Lata ji gave us this gem for Film Hum Dono (1961).  Sahir Ludhianvi’s lyrics were molded by the forgotten Musical Genius Jaidev ji.  Here is my humble plea to the almighty for improving the current state of chaos all around us.

Allah Tero Naam_042515_Final

It has been some time away from Mukesh ji's songs since I have been experimenting but I am uploading this oldie which I recorded a few weeks ago.  This is a popular song so it does not need much introduction.  Shamim Jaipuri wrote the lyrics and K/A team gave the Music Direction for Dil Bhi Tera Hum Bhi Tere (1960) and the song was picturized on young Dharmendra.

Please take a listen with a good pair of headphones for an enhanced listening experience.
