Mukesh and his Composers – 10
————————————————

Wishing Usha Khanna on her 74th birth anniversary, a celebration full of all things good and happy.

For some reason, Usha Khanna never received the recognition and fame that she so rightfully deserves. She is not the first, but definitely is the most successful and talented of a handful of female composers in the Hindi film industry. Born on 7th October 1941, she composed music for her first film at a very young age of 17 with ‘Dil Deke Dekho’ 1959. This was also after more than one year of a sort of apprenticeship and convincing the world that composing was an easy task for her.

I was thinking of writing a post for a long time but never put thoughts into digital format. I am “The” Ms. Lazybones 🙂

Finally, thanks to the mail thread about the November 7th Gangout in Bangalore which is currently in progress with lots of enthusiasm, I am ready with a post.

In the mail thread, our own Sudhir ji added Srinivas Ganti ji inviting him to the gangout. Though Ganti ji is unable to attend it, he shared with us an article written by him on few of Lata ji’s melodies. Being a die-hard fan of Lata ji, I was completely bowled over. I immediately mailed Ganti ji about re-using his article in a series of posts. I didn’t expect him to reply so fast, I got a reply within one hour. Permission was granted 🙂 Not only that, he even shared a link where transliteration of the lyrics were made available by none other than him.

Genius of Jaidev – 29
—————————–

At last, “Mere DHIRaj ka badla SuDHIR-ji ne de hi diya.”

For quite a long time I was ignorant about this song except its mention in HFGK. Sudhirji, not only searched out the song for me, but also posted it on ‘YouTube’ to save my labour. I am going to thank him further, when as per his promise, he is going to colour-code the lyrics.

“Houston, we have a problem.”

This famous quote from the Hollywood film ‘Apollo 13’ (1995) pertains to the problem on board NASA’s unsuccessful mission to the moon. Though there is a different version to the line from NASA’s actual transcript, the phrase has now become part of everyday language for reporting any kind of problem.

Earlier in the morning today, I received an email.  Antaraa Mondal, film journalist and a good friend, sent me a link.  This link is for an interview of Majrooh Sultanpuri by Peeyush Sharma, originally recorded in 1993.  And republished today.  On the anniversary of his birth.  I read through the interview.  I find quite a bit of discussion of Majrooh Sb’s working with another stalwart, music director SD Burman.  Quite a coincidence that it is the birth anniversary of Burman Dada also today.

Missing Films of 1960s – 1
– – – – – – – – – – – – – –

Let me explain the title and the intent of this new series.  This series is an outcome of the project that our dear Katie Ben from ‘saat samundar paar se’ has undertaken, after she got hold of the Geet Kosh volumes.  She zeroed in on volume 4, and she set about identifying all the films of the 1960s, that have yet to find a representation on the blog.  Specifically, the period covered is 1961 to 1970.  So she has very zealously pored through the fourth volume, page by page, film by film, and simultaneously kept on checking with the data on the blog.  The outcome of her effort is summarized as follows.

Songs to Tickle Your Memory – 26
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

In 1963, when Sunil Dutt lip-synced the songs in the film ‘Gumrah’, that was the time when the name of a till-then-relatively-unknown singer became a household name.  And yes, it also earned him the first of his three Filmfare awards for the best male singer.  The song – “Chalo Ek Baar Phir Se Ajnabi Ban Jaayen Hum Dono”.  The singer – Mahendra Kapoor.

Remembering Mahendra ji on the anniversary of his passing away today – 27th September.

26th September – a day to remember, Dev Saab, the evergreen hero.  Also, a day to remember the voice of romanticism that added the essence of emotional expressions to many of his performances.  The deep bass voice of Hemant Kumar.

Remembering Hemant Da on the anniversary of his passing away today.

Dev Saab – the phenomena continues.  With coming newer generation, it may fade away.  But there is still many more generations to go before that can happen.

Remembering Dev Saab on the anniversary of his birth today – 26th September.  He would have been 92 years young today.  And I am sure, he is, wherever he maybe now.
