Today (30 august 2014) is the 91st birth anniversary of Shailendra (30 august 1923- 14 december 1966). When I look at his career as a lyricist, I find that he had a 17 years long career as a lyricist (1949 to 1966). He was at the peak of his prowess when we died at the age of just 43 ! But by that time he had achieved so much in his career that the status of a legend was his for the taking and he is rightfully regarded as one of the colossus among HFM lyricists.

Lata Mangeshkar has rendered songs under the batons of hundreds of Hindi film music directors. But some connoisseurs of Hindi film music are of the view that her combination with Anil Biswas, C Ramchandra and Madan Mohan produced many of her best songs from Hindi films. I feel that to this list, the name of music director Roshan should be added as Lata-Roshan combination churned out some of their best songs. Take for example, songs in ‘Malhaar’ (1951), ‘Hum Log’ (1951), ‘Raag Rang’ (1952), ‘Naubahaar’ (1952), ‘Taj Mahal’ (1963), ‘Chitralekha’ (1964), ‘Mamta’ (1966) to quote a few films. Some of her songs under the baton of Roshan may not have become as popular as that of her songs with Naushad and Shankar Jaikishan, but there is some uniqueness in her renditions under Roshan just as her renditions under Anil Biswas, C Ramchandra and Madan Mohan were unique.

Today (14 august 2014) is the third death anniversary of Shammi Kapoor (21 october 1931- 14 august 2014). Three years have passed since Shammi Kapoor breathed his last. Time has certainly flown away at a deceptively quick pace.

I had heard the name of the film ‘Rangeen Raaten’ (1956) for the first time in my friend’s house some time in 1971 where some of us used to assemble for listening to his collections of some rare Hindi film songs. My friend would stack a few 78 RPM gramophone records of rare songs on his Gerrad Record Changer and we would listen to those songs one by one with some discussion on the songs and the films. One of the songs through which I came to know about the film was bahut aasaan hai chilman se lagakar muskuraana.

A very special song for Mohammad Rafi fans. This is what is real effortless singing. He makes it sound as if it is his ‘baayen haathh ka khel’. And it was his forte to seamlessly go from one mood to another, go from light, comic mode to qawwali, sounding quite serious and melodious and switch to western style, all in the space of less than a minute. If what I say does not make sense, than one can only listen to this song and confirm. What range and what smoothness of voice and diction. And adding the punjabi tadka too in a spoken line towards the end of the song.
