Happy birthday to one of the doyens of the film music.

A lady who had it her way and gave us some gems.

This remains one of my all time favourites.

Anecdote:
Madhuban jhushboo deta hai remains Usha Ji's all time hit. Yesudas ji sang it and how.

On d day of recording, it was raining cats and dogs. Ppl, at studio, thought Yesudas ji won't make it.

But after 2 hrs he came drenched. His dhoti was tied at knee level. Fully

Disheveled!

Usha ji said, why did you come.

Yesudas ji said - "Didi, I had to come. I know if I missed it, Kishore Da would have got it and I just couldn't let that happen"😁😁

Another reason I like Usha ji is that she genuinely tried newcomers. She gave chance to

Artists like Vinod Rathod, Shabbir Kumar, Mohammed Aziz, Pankaj Udhas, Udit Narayan, roop Kumar rwythod, hemlata ji etc.

And also Sonu Nigam😊 in a TV serial.

On #AirForceDay , I recall a film that left a long lasting impact on me. Mind you, the film was sans the usual glamour attached with any film based on defence.

Vijeta!

Directed by the brilliant Govind Bijlani and produced by Mr. Shashi Kapoor, who I consider one of the finest

Ever film producer in Bollywood. Almost every film of his was a class. I use the wird Almost because Shashi Kapoor also produced the forgettable Ajooba (a nice take on Arabian nights).

Coming back to Vijeta, the film is about a confused young man (Kunal Kapoor) who plays the

Role of Angad, son of Shashi Kapoor ( portraying the role of a c grade film producer ) and Rekha.

The boy joins Air Force, much to the chagrin of his father.

The training, the war sequence and the way planes were shown, only someone like Nihlani could.

Angad is no

Shailesh, Lachchi Ram, Manohar, Ram Lal!

What is the first thought that comes to our mind when we hear these names?

Ans - Bhai kaun hai yeh log? Politicians hain kya? Etc etc

But on the wildest of our imaginations, can we ever think

@y_kale

That these names are all MUSIC DIRECTORS who ,amongst others, also made Lata ji sing and some great songs if their era.

@y_kale , continuing his spellbinding article brings it sequel this time. But do read the first part before reading this one and feel as numb as I did.

@y_kale

Sequels of some movies or novels are always awaited but this time around, I was waiting expectantly for @y_kale to write the second part.

I am not a fan of 40s or even many 50s songs. I find many of then boring but then I am not Yogesh!

This guy delved so deep in his amazing

Today is death anniversary of one of the greatest music directors. A bright shibibg star if Bollywood classic era. The Madan Mohan Ji.

And

Also of one of the finest musician. The man who was part of magic. Simply magical work. A legend in his own rights.
Manohari Singh ji 🙏

@Shrimaan

Now Manohari Singh ji was quintessentially a part of Burmans. Initially SD and of course later with Pancham Da.

But he also worked for Salil Da, LP and Madan Ji.

And if I am not wrong (@Shrimaan sir will correct me) , he was part of this iconic song.
