In old Bollywood movies, most leading actors would be shown seated on a grand piano and singing a song.

Many of R D Burman’s songs in 1970s were fast paced songs that were loud, party songs. But when the sitauation demanded, R D Burman could come up with soft, sensitive romantic songs too.

In this blog, I post gems from the golden era of Bollywood movie music, which happened to be roughly from 1950 to 1980, though I have posted songs that are from the times falling outside this era as well. Many of the songs that I have posted are well known even today, while many other songs that I have posted have become forgotten. I particularly love to post those songs which were very popular during their time but which may not be known to too many people today.

Roshan made his debut at nearly the same time as most legendary singers (Rafi, Mukesh, Kishore Kumar etc). But is is interesting to note that Roshan used Kishore Kumar’s voice only 8 times, all all these songs were in 1952 and 1953.

I have mentioned in the past that Salil Chaudhary’s music was about quality rather than quantity. Just about every song that he created was a labour of love. He spent lots of time getting inspiration for his tunes. When he was in search of inspiration for new tunes, he would go to his kitchen a cook a delicacy (Illish fish, perhaps ?) and he would come up with his tunes.

I had posted a remarkable comedy song from “Bandi” (1957) which was sung by Kishore Kumar and picturised on hmself. Now I find that this movie has a great serious song too, once again sung by Kishore Kumar and picturised on himself.

Bollywood movies have songs on many topics, and the most important topic is obviously “love”. Boy is shown falling in love with a girl and is shown expressing his love with a song. The girl will initially disapprove of his attention then begin responding and would be found joining towards the end of the song.

“Swayamwar” (1980) was a nice movie with a “Chandamama” style story. And that was not surprising, because this movie was produced by the same people who were the owners of this popular childrens’ magazine.
