Gaman (1979) was produced and directed by Muzaffar Ali and had star cast consisting Farooq Shaikh, Jalal Agha, Nana Patekar, Smita Patil, Gita Siddharth, Satish Shah etc., with lyrics by Shahryar and music by Jaidev. In his unique style Jaidev used new voices, not usually used by other MDs. Chhaya Ganguli got her first break as a film playback singer with her award winning song ‘Aap Ki Yaad Aati Rahi Raat Bhar’ in this film ‘Gaman’. Other voices used in the film are Classical Singer Hiradevi Mishra, Hariharan, Suresh Wadkar etc.

I thought that there should be at least one song of Jaidev from a film for which he got National Award for the best music direction, for discussion on the occasion of his death anniversary which is on January 6th. The ghazal is from film GAMAN (1978) – “Aapki yaad aati rahi raat bhar”. The ghazal was wriiten by Maqdoom Mohiuddin, the famous urdu poet and then a member of Communist Party of India. This has been sung by many ghazal singers but I like the way Chhaya Ganguli has sung this ghazal and also the tune and soft orchestra used by Jaidev to reflect the mood of the ghazal.
