The Voice of Mukesh #9
——————————-
Now this song is really something. The scenario that is presented in these verses, is one that would be close to the hearts of every married couple with the caveat that they live in a joint family. (Those who do not live in a joint family, of any type, may discount this experience. 🙂 ). The song is about the moments of romance that a married couple can steal, maybe in the night, when all other members are blissfully asleep. The husband reaches out to his wife, and the wife complains about all the hard work she has to manage at home during the day. The husband placates her and tries to convince her that the household chores are no big deal and for him, and that for him, she still is as beautiful as the chirpy, naughty mynah bird.

The Voice Of Mukesh #8
—————————-
It is well known that the film that really launched the career of Mukesh was the 1945 film ‘Pehli Nazar’. And in this film, the most enduring sound has been the song “Dil Jalta Hai To Jalne De”, sung by Mukesh. Apart from this timeless and iconic song, Mukesh has sung three more song in this film. One more solo song, and two duets with Naseem Akhtar. The solo song is “Tai Kar Ke Badi Door Se Purpech Dagariyaa”, a light hearted song of a young heart in search of love. The duet is the title song “Laga Pehli Nazar Ka Teer”. These three songs are now already present on this blog.

‘Poonam Ki Raat’ is a film from almost 50 years ago. And the thought comes to mind that the period of time from which we remember the best loved music is now receding in history. Just the films and songs that used to be new and fresh in mind and in media, are now counted as half century old, and even older.

The 1960s can be considered as the decade of the duos. Three very prominent music director duos led the way from the front in the field of Hindi film music. I am sure all readers will immediately identify them as S-J, L-P, and K-A (Shankar Jaikishan, Laxmikant Pyaarelal, and Kalyan ji Anand ji). Stories are rumored on how at times manipulations happened to create a
monopoly. But it can also not be discounted that these duos created some of the finest film songs of their times.
