JAI PANCHAM!
R D burman needs no introduction?So lets get down straight to business?My favourite 20 tracks of RD burman(not in any particular order) are?
*Saagar Jaisi Aankhon Vaali.(Saagar)
Lyrics: Javed Akhtar
Singer: Kishore Kumar*
Magic of Pancham and Kishore kumar.RDB always favoured Kishore Kumar as one can see most of his hits feature Kishore.I always associate RDB with melody.He is the King of melody.The present musicians have somewhat forgot what melody is!
Saagar jaise aankhon vaali yeh to pata tera naam hai kya is an excellent example of perfect mix of melody and beautiful lyric writing.I especially like the tune of,
Ye Armaan Hain Shor Nahin Ho
Khamoshi Ke Mele Hon
Is Duniya Mein Koi Nahin Ho
Hum Dono Hi Akele Hon
Truly an awesome melody and equally excellent lyric.another positive aspect of this song is its guitar piece.
*Anevala pal janevala hai(Gol Maal)
Lyrics: Gulzar
Singer: Kishore Kumar*
Well I feel most of my 20 favourite songs will be of Kishore and Pancham combination.
This one is a evergreen song.one cannot get bored even after hearing it n number of times.
A simple and effective tune with thought provoking lyric by gulzar.read this
Aanewala pal jaanewala hai
Ho sake to is mein, zindagi bita do
Pal jo yeh jaanewala hai, ho ho
Nowadays the say kal ho na ho.
*Tumse milke, aisa laga tumse milke?.Parinda
Singers:Asha Bhonsle, Suresh Wadekar*
One of the best romantic songs.
Tumse milke aisa laga Tumse milke armaan hue poore dil ke
Ae meri jaane wafa Teri meri meri teri ek jaan hai Saath tere rahenge sada, tumse na honge judaa
I especially luv the tune for teri meri meri teri ek jaan hai
It has beautiful piano piece and fantastic accordion tune.
Suresh wadekar and evergreen asha have done full justice to the song.
*Hamein Tumse Pyaar Kitna.Kudrat
Lyrics: Majruhu Sultanpuri
Singer: Kishore Kumar*
Picturised on Dharmendra and Hema malini this one is also a romantic number.
When I heard this song for the first time this song made me feel uncomfortable.the composition is somewhat different.but on repeated hearing this melody number is sure to create a big impact on listeners.
Kishore Kumar is as usual terific.It makes me wonder how Pancham produced these kinds of fantastic tunes.
Suna gham judaai ka uthate hain log
Jaane zindagi kaise bitate hain log
Din bhi yahan to lage baras ke samaan
Hamein intezaar kitna yeh hum nahin jaante
Magar ji nahin sakte tumhare bina
*Tere bina zindagi se.Aandhi
Lyrics:Gulzar
Singer: Kishore Kumar*
Again another kishore-Pancham track.But the highlight of this song is its https://lyrics.
Tere bina zindagi se koyi, shikwa, to nahi,
shikwa nahi, shikwa nahi, shikwa nahi
Tere bina zindagi bhi lekin, zindagi, to nahi,
zindagi nahi, zindagi nahi, zindagi nahi
One can say that in olden days more importance was given to melody and lyrics and now romantic songs go like this.kambakth ishq, ishq kamina and nikamma kiya is dil ne.wow?lol
*Aaja Piya Tohe Pyaar Doon.Baharon ke sapnay
Lyrics:Majrooh Sultanpuri
Singer:Lata Mangeskar*
Many are not aware that this famous song is composed by pancham.infact the remix version of this song can be hear on dance masti collection which was a tremendous success.It seems the present day MD’s are out of tunes so they remix pancham and other old MD’s track and the important point here is people still love these tracks and the response his mind blowing.
Fantastic melody with equally good vocals by lata.this song is a must in your music collection
Aaja piya tohe pyaar doon, gori baiyyaan tope vaar doon
Kis liye tu, itna udaas
Sukhe sukhe honth, ankhiyon me pyaas
Kis liye kis liye ho,
*Tujhse naraaz nahi jindgi.Masoom
Lyrics:Gulzar
Singers:ANOOP GHOSHAL*
This one has a soulful tune beautifully rendered by anoop ghoshal.
Again the highlight of this touching song apart from the tune is its lyrics by gulzar.
Read this out.
jeene ke liye socha hi na tha, dard sambhalane honge
muskuraoon to, muskurane ke karz utaarne honge
muskuraoon kabhi to lagata hai
jaise hontonn pe karz rakhaa hai
tujhase .
*Yeh Jo Mohabbat Hai.Kati Patang
Lyrics: Anand Bakhshi
Singer: Kishore Kumar*
In this song the dard bhara hero vows he will never ever love again.
Anand bakshi has handled the lyrics with utmost ease and needless to mention Kishore da.he is simply the best.a must listen song!
Hay yeh jo mohabbat hai yeh unka hai kaam
Arey mehboob ka jo bas lete huve naam
Mar jaaye mit jaaye ho jaaye badnaam
Rehne do chhodo bhi jaane do yaar, hum na karenge pyaar
*Kuch Na Kaho.1942 A Love Story
Lyrics:Javed Akthar
Singer:Lata Mangeskar*
I go for the Female version because its simple I dont like Kumar sanu especially after his remarks on. Coming back to this wonderful song, this was pancham’s last musical hit.
he won filmfare award for this wonderful score.
Lata Mangeskar and javed akhtar give good support
Khoyi sab pehchaane, khoye saare apne Samay ki chhalne se gir girke khoye saare sapne Aur is pal mein koi nahin hai Bas ek main hoon, bas ek tum ho Kuch na kaho, kuch bhi na kaho.
*Chand Mera Dil Chandni.Hum Kisise se kum nahin
Lyrics:Majrooh Sultanpuri
Singer: MOHAMMAD RAFI*
I doubt whether you all have heard this song!Vokaooo.
One of the best combination of pancham and rafi and they create magic.
This song will definately feature in my top 20 songs of hindi music.
The tune is marvellous but its the lyrics by Majrooh which elevates this song.
Mohammad rafi is truly awesome.must hear this song.
chaand mera dil chaandni ho tum
chaand se hai door chaandni kahaan
laut ke aana hai yahin tumko
jaa rahe ho tum jaao meri jaan
waise to har kadam milenge log sanam
milega saccha pyaar mushkil se
ho dil ki dosti khel nahin koyi
dil se dil hai milta yaar mushkil se
yehi to hai sanam pyaar ka thikana
main hoon
chaand mera dil chaandni ho tum
chaand se hai door chaandni kahaan
laut ke aana hai yahin tumko
jaa rahe ho tum jaao meri jaan
jaao meri jaan, jaao meri
*Aaja Aaja Main Huin Pyar Tera.Teesri manzil
Lyrics:Majrooh Sultanpuri
Singers:Rafi, asha bhonsle*
I like the way rafi sings the line ooo aaja aaja aaja ooo
Pancham is epitome of creativity.once asha bhonsle asked ar rahman what kind of new song is he going to expeiment? rahman replied that RD burman has touched all the areas of the music there is nothing nore one can introduce in music.
aaja aaja song will be one of my favourites its so energetic and funky type song.
*O Hasina Zulfon Vaali.Teesri manzil
Lyric:Majrooh Sultanpuri
Singers:Rafi, asha bhonsle*
what a song! In the film dil vil pyar vyar they recreated pancham songs and this magnificent song was topping the charts.
So what does this tell? People still love pancham tracks he is truly amazing.
A very energetic track and rafi with asha are perfect for this song.the lyrics are truly awesome.
I luv the following line
Vo Anjaana Dhoondhti Hoon
Vo Dewaana Dhoondhti Hoon
Jalaakar Jo Chhip Gayaa Hai
Vo Parwaana Dhoondhti Hoon
