Wow, and what a wonderfully melodious gem this one turns out to be. And an absolutely fantastic Rafi – Asha duet. In fact this was actually the song that I had prepared for posting yesterday, in the run up to the 300th Rafi – Asha duet and 200th song by Qamar Jalaalabaadi. Almost at the last moment, I got this message from Atul ji, requesting me to post the ‘Baaje Waala, Patiaayaale Waala’ instead. And so I switched the songs. And as I had the lyrics all ready to go, I am posting this as one of the songs to welcome in the new year. The melody and the tempo of music is so uplifting, it is a befitting piece of music to play on a celebration like today.

Thus ended my last post from yesterday, and I suppose it is only right to begin on the very same note, where we left off. . . last year :).

Greetings all and welcome to 2013, and we kick off another round of this adventure in music.

Well one of these days, we may come to the bottom of this ocean of melody. Well yes, after all, the music that was created in the first four decades – has been created, and it is not possible to add to it anymore. And so one day we would have discovered all that is there to discover, and would have discussed it here on this blog. But as of now, there is still so much out there in front of us that thankfully, it is still going to be many years before this treasure gets exhausted. And I am sure there is enough for a lifetime. 🙂

There is something special about Johnny Walker lip synching Rafi. One is that Rafi Sb of course sings with the true sound of fun and jest, as required by the situation. Along with that, Johnny Walker’s antics, the twitch of his smile and the twinkle in his eyes are more than enough to convince you that he too is thoroughly enjoying himself as he is performing. Take any song of these two together and one can feel the heightened quantum of fun and entertainment.

When the music is by Ganesh, one can be assured of a very lilting and melodious fare. ‘Anjaam’, a B grade film from 1968, has got a treasure of some excellent grade A music. Four wonderful songs from this film are already represented on this blog. Here is the fifth song from this film, another wonderful memory from the radio years.

This film has lots and lots of songs, as I am discovering for last few days. First the genuine qawwali which is a matter of interest to S. D. Burman’s fans. I have been wondering for some months if S. D. Burman ever composed a qawwali. Than a qawwali from ‘Dr. Vidya’ was posted a few days back. Than ‘bluefire ji’ drew my attention to this qawwali from the film “Benazir’. This is written by Shakeel Badayuni and singers are Mubarak Begum and Asha Bhosle. Since then I have seen many songs of this film which have a lot of playback singers. The list of female singers includes Lata, Usha, Suman Kalyanpure apart from Mubarak Begum and Asha. Among male singers I have been able to find only Rafi’s songs. I do not know if there is any other song featuring male singers. We shall see at least a couple of wonderful Lata solos on Meena Kumari, in the coming days. The songs are a treat to ears.

A new film on the blog. And another one that tells us that the producers will go after some very strange names as the film title. Hollywood may have come out with films like ‘Telefon’, ‘Cellular’, ‘Phone Booth’ etc. much later. The Hindi film industry already had a film titled ‘Trunk Call’ way back in 1960. And today this film makes a debut on this blog.

In March last year, when Atul ji had posted the wonderful melody “Apne Khayaalon Ko Samjha Deejiye. . .”, from the 1955 film ‘Marine Drive’, I was instantly bowled over by this stunning sound that I had then heard for the first time. And it went on to reinforce, the lofty stature of N Dutta, the music director of this film, as one of the most talented composers from the 50s and 60s.
