Ought to mention one of the best non-filmy albums of all time - Dil Padosi Hai..

arguably the best creative work of RD Burman, Asha, Gulzar together.. seems, many don't know about this album and the gem of the songs (all total 14) it has..

#Thread compilation of #UncommonGems of RD Burman #pancham. Pl do use headphones.. as MDs of today say his supreme quality recordings even in that era was technological miracle.. Starting with my top favorites in playlist..

Kabhi palkon pe aansu hain..

#UncommonGems #RDBurman #Pancham

Na jaane din kaise jevaan mein aaye hain..

#UncommonGems #RDBurman #Pancham

Tere liye palkon ki jhalar bunu..

the recording & mixing quality & the instruments.. apart from the soulful melody.. total love..

#UncommonGems #RDBurman #Pancham

Nobody could beat RD/Kishore for melancholy numbers..

Jeena to hai par ae dil kahan..

जीना तो है पर ऐ दिल कहाँ
अरे बैठूँ तो नहीं मिलती है ज़मीं
मैं उड़ना चाहूँ तो है दूर आसमाँ

#UncommonGems #RDBurman #Pancham

Aisa sama na hota..

#UncommonGems #RDBurman #Pancham

Hum tum hum do raahi..

#UncommonGems #RDBurman #Pancham

Tumse milke zindagi ko yu laga..

#UncommonGems #RDBurman #Pancham

Phir kisi shaakh ne..

फिर किसी शाख ने फेंकी छाँव
फिर किसी शाख ने हाथ हिलाया
फिर किसी मोड़ से उलझे पाँव
फिर किसी राह ने पास बुलाया

#UncommonGems #RDBurman #Pancham

Kaho Kahan Chalein.. jahan tum le chalo..

#UncommonGems #RDBurman #Pancham

Sang mere nikle the saajan.. lata/kishore

#UncommonGems #RDBurman #Pancham

kiski sadayein mujhko bulayein..

asha/kishore

#UncommonGems #RDBurman #Pancham

Tum jo mile to laga hai jaise mili zindagi.. in soothing lilting suresh wadekar voice.. beautiful.. Only good contribution by RGV.. giving a break to the legend at his worst phase..

#UncommonGems #RDBurman #Pancham

Jab chaaha yaara tumne.. aakhon se maara tumne..

#UncommonGems #RDBurman #Pancham

Din pyar ke aayenge sajaniya..

#UncommonGems #RDBurman #Pancham

Kis karan naiya doli.. asha bhosle and suresh wadekar..

#UncommonGems #RDBurman #Pancham

ye kori karari kunwari nazar.. kishore..

#UncommonGems #RDBurman #Pancham

Kaisi lag rahi hoon main..

#UncommonGems #RDBurman #Pancham

Log kahenge pagla pagla..

beautiful song by Suresh Wadekar i am sure most people haven't heard of.. I used to have a cassette of the same.. all songs of the album are good actually.. from Ghungroo Ki Awaaz

#UncommonGems #RDBurman #Pancham

Kya hua ek baat par barso ka yaarana gaya..

probably, the best quality song of Amit Kumar with RD.. in the league of Bade achhe lagte hain & Ye zameen ga rahi hai..

#UncommonGems #RDBurman #Pancham

Mere dil se ye nain.. asha/shailendra

one of my top favs..

#UncommonGems #RDBurman #Pancham

Kabhi kabhi sapna lagta hai.. beautiful music & words.. soft, soulful and serene...

Aur kya ahde wafa hote hain..

Apparently, hero/producer wanted Shabbir to sing (since Betaab was huge hit),but RD Burman put his job/stakes on line & insisted on Suresh Wadekar & said he'll quit the film otherwise.. That's commitment to talent & quality

#UncommonGems #RDBurman

I'm falling in love..

RARE English soundtrack (full) from Deewar.. apparently, a Bhupinder song was recorded to be picturised on BigB.. But Yash Chopra left it out.. hence, the fallout with RD after 2 superb movies like Joshila

#UncommonGems #RDBurman

Jidhar dekhu teri tasveer nazar aati hai.. Big B version with different treatment of music (usually, we hear the Kishore version)

#UncommonGems #RDBurman
#Pancham

Kya jaano main hu kaun..

#UncommonGems #RDBurman
#Pancham

Gumsum kyon hai sanam.. the subtle innovation/experimentation also explained before the song.. when at the start voice of Asha ji fades out to saxophone played by manohari da.. seamlessly.. u can't figure out.. magical!

#UncommonGems #RDBurman
#Pancham

Milegi ek nayi zindagi milegi..

#UncommonGems #RDBurman
#Pancham

Wadiyan mera daman by Rafi.. RD pulling off a Shankar Jaikishen.. Point being, he could deliver hits conforming to the same music pattern.. but he chose to break the monotony & create his own diversified brand of music!

#UncommonGems #RDBurman
#Pancham

Garam garam kaaya thanda thanda paani.. by Asha..

RD pulling off a Salil Chowdhury here(whom he considered his guru) Salil in his last days said "Only musical phenomenon to have happened in last 20 years is RD Burman"

#UncommonGems #RDBurman
#Pancham

Rasta dekhe tera vyakul mann mera.. by Kishore

#UncommonGems #RDBurman
#Pancham

Tumhe chhod ke ab jeene ko jee to nahin.. asha/kishore

#UncommonGems #RDBurman
#Pancham

Ek hi khwaab kayi baar.. by Bhupinder & Hema..

who except for rd burman could have dared to present a song like this.. in an unconventional way.. extremely simplistic.. minimalist music instrumentation..
