While listeneing to the songs of old movies, we often praise the singer and/ or the music director, but many of us tend to underestimate the contribution of the lyricist. However great a tune, or however wonderful a voice may be, unless the singer gets a good well written song, it is not very likely that the song is going to catch the imagination of the public.

I had commented in the past that S D Burman had used many singers to sing for Dev Anand. In addition to Kishore Kumar and Rafi, S D Burman used the voice of Hemant Kumar and Manna Dey as play back singers for Dev saab.

Though this song talks of “Chanda”, “raat” etc, which are found in “Chaayaageet” songs, this song from “Chhoo Mantar” sounds more like a dance song. After all, O P Nayyar is the music director of this song, and his music tended to be dance music. In “Chaayageet” songs, we do not expect the lovelorn protagonist to dance, he/ she is just expected to sing in a slow tempo. 😉
