The Indian film music industry would be incomplete without contributions from the great legend RD Burman. His complete name was Rahul Dev Burman, but fans took liked "RD" better. The close ones in the industry of course would call him by the name Pancham- da, which also happened to be his nick.
He has composed many superhit evergreen songs for Bollywood movies for over two decades. His songs have been rendered by famous singers like Lataji, Kishore Kumar, Asha Bhonsle, Mohd Rafi and others. His popularity grew so much that all producers at one time had wanted to rope in Panchamda for scoring music for their films.
A few movies worth mentioning are: Guide, Teesri Manzil, kaagaz ke Phool and Love Story. He was also married to Asha Bhonsle. He had won several awards during his lifetime.
The Indian Music platform misses a great talent like Pancham da, and his songs will remain in the hearts of music lovers for a long time.
