How nice it would be to be pampered as soon as you get up-with scores of attendants waiting upon you? Ah, indulgence. Mumtaz I envy you ?

Well, I am not crazy. But just crazy about a song from “Samson” in which Mumtaz is the lady who is the privileged one. The picturization shows a princess getting from her bed. A princess whose bed is made up of light and soft feathers, with satin sheets and all ……. A horde of lady attendants waiting on her before she even opens her eyes! The attendants runs up and down fetching her an overcoat, soft/comfy slippers etc. On top of it, there is a lady, Ameeta, singing to her a kind of suprabhaat. Our princess gets praised for her beauty and her youth early in the morning just like the Gods get praised for their magnanimity and benevolence. There is a tinge of sadness in the singer’s expressions which is ever so slight. Does she have dreams of her own pleading with God and is she like a worshipper whose entreaties are shoved to a corner by the Almighty?? May be so ?

Missing Films of 1960s – 2
– – – – – – – – – – – – – –

Good intentions are always the undoing. I am sure you would have also experienced this. मेरे साथ तो ये बहुत होता है. Take the case of this series itself.  The second song is being posted today.  When I initiated this series on 30th September with the song “Nigaahon Se Chhup Kar Kahaan Jaaiyega”, I had all the intentions to post one song at least every other day if not every day.  The available list of songs is all identified.  And see, it is the 11th day now that the second post is coming on.  क्या कहना है good intentions का.

Genius of Jaidev – 30
————————-

After ‘yippiying’ the songs of 1957 ‘Anjali’ I start my journey forward, to complete Jaidev’s songs uncovered on this Blog. Film ‘Raat ke Rahi’ had two MDs. Bipin and Jaidev. Only two songs were composed by Jaidev and both were covered in this blog. Moving further, we come across three grate movies by Jaidev, viz ‘Hum Dono’, ‘Kinare Kinare’ and ‘Mujhe Jeene Do’. All these three films were listed in the list of ‘All Songs Covered’. So I come to 1967 film ‘Hamare Gham Se Mat Khelo’.

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.

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.

Today (1 october 2015) is the 109th birth anniversary of S D Burman (1 October 1906 – 31 October 1975). So it is our duty as a music blog to try and discuss a few songs composed by S D Burman on the occasion. Today is the 96th birth anniversary of Majrooh Sultanpuri (1 October 1919 – 24 May 2000) as well. We have discussed one song of each of them today. We will try to discuss more of their songs today including a song where the two collaborated together.
