Fabulous Foot Tappers – 4

Once in an interview, Hemant Kumar had the following to say about the very interesting working style of Rajendra Krishan – “. . .once the recording date got fixed, he would keep in touch with the music director.  He would come and meet regularly in the studios.  But he won’t work. One day, it will be a lunch outing at a place which offers a famous specialty.  The next day it will be something else.  The recording date is drawing near, but the lyrics are nowhere in sight.  One day he will come to studio then go to the races.  When just two or three days would be left before the recording date, we would start pestering and pressurizing him.  He would then just smile and go sit in quiet corner, and then come back after 15 or 20 minutes with the completed song.”

Remembering Rajendra Krishan on his birth anniversary today (6th June). Born in 1919, he would have been 97 years old today.

In our day to day life we face some or the other discomforting and problematic situations, most of which get sorted out over time. The end of such situations is the beginning of happiness.

One of the discomforting situations which I have started facing in the post- retirement years is that I suddenly remember the tune of a song which I had heard quite often in my younger days on the radio but I am not able to recall the wordings or other details. I become restless until I find the song. It is by chance that I get to listen to the song on YT or on the Blog after months. And the pleasure I get in solving this kind of ‘puzzle’ is akin to attaining nirvana.

Songs to Tickle Your Memory – 18
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

Bring up and test this, works every time.  Looking for a good melodious song that will strum the strings of the heart – just pick an obscure film from 1950s or 60s.  If the lyricist and music director and the singer(s) are from the proverbial ‘lesser known’ category, all the better.  Just run through the song list of such a film.  I promise you will find a memory tickler hidden in there, which will make you exclaim – “achhaa, ye gaana is film ka hai”  (“Aha, so this song comes from this film”).  I have tried this many times; always been a success.

Take this film, and this song.  I have wonderful humming memories of this song from the radio listening days.  For all this time, I was unaware of the details.  Searching for songs by Chitragupt, I ran into this a few days ago, and had that ‘Aa Haa’ reaction.  Wow, so this is it.

So, yesterday afternoon we receive this message from Peevesie’s Mom.  There is a Chitalkar song.  A friend of hers is looking for it.  As it was revealed in later part of the thread, this friend had heard this song on the ‘Bhoole Bisre Geet’ program on Radio Ceylon (now called the Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corporation).  When he switched on the radio, the song had already started so he missed the introductory information, like film name and artist etc.  Singer he could recognize from the voice.  It is Chitalkar (C Ramchandra).
