Genius of Jaidev – 38
—————————-
The only song by Lata out of six songs from 1969 film ‘Sapna’ is presented here. It is not only melodious but also a heart-touching song describing the pangs of a ‘Virahini’ (separated naayika). B N Mangal’s simple lyrics are set to tune by genius Jaidev adding situation required pathos that brings tears, whenever I hear it. (Which is quite often) Aise ‘nithhur piya’ ko maarne ko bhi man karta hai. It goes without saying that the divine voice of Lata is a major contributing part in creating that effect.

SHANKAR-JAIKISHEN IN THE 50s…..Song No. 10…Last song of the series
————————————————————————
We have come to the end of this series.
Shankar-Jaikishen gave us tremendous pleasure by providing some exceptional melodies and iconic songs during the decade of 1950s. All in all, Hindi film music could be considered to be at its zenith during 1950s. Masters like Naushad, C.Ramchandra, Shankar Jaikishan, Hemant Kumar, Ravi, Roshan, Chitragupta and many more composers regaled us with their best songs during this decade. The dream run of the decade of 50s ended like all dreams and the HFM started going downwards from then onwards. HF M Somehow kept up thefreshness and sweetness of their melodies till the latter half of the 60s. With the changing pattern of the public taste and the sociological changes in the Indian societies, thestress became more on instant satiation rather than lasting satisfaction. This led to songs which became popular for a few months and were then forgotten after that. The period of remaining in public memory went on reducing and today’s songs hardly stay in memory for a month or so ( exceptions excepted).

Fabulous Foot Tappers – 6
– – – – – – – – – – – – – –
Goodness, more than 5 months since the last post in this series. Starting in April, it was keeping a slow but regular pace till July, and then. . .
Anyways, back to one of my favorite genres – songs with a wonderful melody and a foot tapping beat that simply makes them irresistible hummers. One listens, and the mind simply wants to continue humming them, over and over again. There are many such songs, and practically all of them are popular and well known. The thing that I am trying with this series is to locate the unfamiliar and less heard gems of this category, which have remained anonymous, mostly for the reason that they are from films that either did not get released, or films that remained obscure and unheard of themselves.

Forgotten Melodies of the 1940s – 8
———————————————————
ROOP REKHA (1948) was a film that I was not aware of until I heard mp3 clip of a song from the film. An advertisement of the film which appeared in one of the issues of ‘Filmindia’ 1948 revealed that the film was produced by Padam Maheshwari under the banner of Chitrakala Mandir and it was directed by Samar Guha. Veena Kohli and Rehan, probably new comers, were in the lead role supported by Asha Poshley, Smriti Biswas, Durga Mota, Ajmal, G N Butt etc. I have no idea as to which genre the film belonged to but going by another advertisement of the film which says ‘Burning Punjab brings out the challenge picture of 1948’, the story appears to be based on the social impact on Punjab immediately after the partition.

It’s been a while since we had a song in this voice. A voice which momentarily transforms us to another world. A voice so gentle and sweet that we invariably pause, ponder and are awestruck by the rendering. The total numbers are in three digits only. The genres of songs are also very restricted. But whatever is available will be cherished forever since the class of singing was always uncompromising.
