‘ऊ’
“ऊंची एड़ी है मांग टेड़ी टेड़ी दुपट्टा रंगदार कर के”
I am glad that I posted this song when I did. As per my search, this is possibly the last song of Rafi Sb that starts with ‘ऊ’, and not yet posted on our blog. Just made it by cat’s whiskers. Otherwise, I would have been expressing regrets, just like for ‘ई’. 🙂

‘आ’
“आप से दिल ही मांगा था जान तो नहीं”
Searching through the obscure and the unheard, we continue to encounter such fabulous creations that bring a gasp of pleasant surprise. Today, in the second installment of this new series of songs by Rafi Sb, I bring this exuberant song of ‘chhed chhaad’ from an unreleased film from the 1960s. The film is ‘Jaan Bachi Laakhon Paaye’. We have one song from this film already posted a little over one year ago – “Teri Zulf Mein Chun Ke Champa Ki Kaliyan”, another delightful creation, in the voice of Mahendra Kapoor and Sharda.

Celebrating another year without Rafi Sb, celebrating another anniversary of this peerless artist. And more than anything else, celebrating another year of endless memories and ruminations. God does not duplicate, they say. And so, for us listeners, memories is all that is there to live by.

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.

SHANKAR- JAIKISHEN IN THE 50s…Song No. 8
———————————————-
Should an actor working as a Hero be necessarily good looking ? In India, yes ! If one sees the list of heroes from 1931 till recent time, one will find that on 99% of the occasions, the Heroes were handsome, good looking,tall and with good physique- irrespective of whether they could act or not. Not that there were no heroes who were ordinary looking, but by and large they were exceptions or they were the producers or directors themselves ( like Kishore Sahu ) or their sons etc. The Indian audience had a mind set that a film Hero must be good looking and the Heroine must be beautiful-preferably.

The Lovers of old Hindi film music are spread all over the world in almost all countries of all the continents. It is not an exaggeration. Youngsters of the decade of the 60s and the 70s, who migrated to different countries, must be in their 60s and 70s now. They all are lovers of old music. They not only loved that music,but with the help of 78 RPM Records,Tapes and later with CDs, they kept the music alive even today. Let any famous singer got to any country for a stage show, the audience farmaishes are for old songs only. No show is successful without singing old songs.

SHANKAR-JAIKISHEN IN THE 50s…Song No. 6
———————————————
The mid 50s was a period when one could see the deep impact of the Nehruvian socialism on the film that were made. Great film makers like Mehboob Khan, B R Chopra and Raj Kapoor tried to support Nehru and Gandhian philosophies through their films. Being great artists, they combine socialism with entertainment in a skillful way. Films like Naya Daur, Mother India, Jagte Raho, Phir subah hogi, Do bigha Zameen,Boot polish,Ab dilli door nahin etc and later on films like Son of India and Naya Kanoon etc clearly indicated Socialism.
