Old film music lovers have always been curious about the less known artistes of music, like composers or arrangers and background music makers. Occasional or unkunown singers are also a matter of curiosity. Some of the old time composers used to give music under names other than their own known names. Some examples are Lata mangeshkar gave music to Marathi films as ‘Anandghan’, Snehal Bhatkar used names like B.Vasudev or V.G.Bhatkar in his initial phase, C.Ramchandra gave music as ‘Annasaheb’, while composing songs for Master Bhagwan’s stunt films, and GM Durrani used the name ‘Gunjan’ when composing music for films, etc.

Songs to Tickle Your Memory – 30
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

The inboxes on my email, mobile and YouTube account seems to be getting as many reminder messages these days, as messages for request. 🙂 This song apparently has not yet surfaced in public domain. And for those who have heard it, and remember it, this is a vintage Chitragupt melody – stuff that memory ticklers are made of. I got requests from more than one friend (Arvinder ji included, of course) to post this song. And our dear friend Manju ji (daughter of producer director K Amarnath) is also waiting for this song.

Mohammed Rafi – ‘अ’  से  ‘ह’ तक  (From ‘अ’ to ‘ह’) – 15
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

‘छ’
“छोड़िए गुस्सा हुज़ूर ऐसी नाराज़ी भी क्या”

वो बादशाह सुरों का (He, the monarch of musical notes)

This phrase is used as the intro caption by one of the fans who uploads many songs of Rafi Sb on YouTube. (His name is Ahsaan Qasim.  He is a dear friend, and part of the wide circle of collector friends).

I have discussed in one of my earlier posts, about Rafi Sb’s cognizance of the emotional intent of a song, and his ability to capture and express its exact flavor and nuance, when he would sing it. This ability made his playback voice so intensely an integral subsumed part of the on screen performance, that his voice seemed to dissolve into the persona on screen, losing its own identity. And Rafi Sb had no favorites in this regard. His voice became the voice of any and every actor who lip synced his songs on screen. No other singer in this domain has been able to emulate This remarkable and pervasive characteristic of Rafi Sb’s singing. Other singers either have a very unique characteristic of their singing voice that is identifiable in every song they have given their voice to, or the identity of their voice matches the identity of some select actors and on screen roles. As I said, the pervasiveness of this ability of Rafi Sb continues to be unmatched.

Forgotten Melodies of the 1940s – 17
———————————————————

If I were to define ‘Assistant Music Directors’ in the context of Bollywood, I will define them as those talented musicians whose talents are exploited by some of the top music directors for furthering their own brand of music in Bollywood. No doubt, they are paid for the job and their contributions may be appreciated by the masters, but there is no recognition from the public at large for their talents. They remain the unsung artists among many other musicians who contribute to the success of film music.
