Sachin D...Dada, you are right in your observations. Sachin Da was perhaps the only music director who composed equally great songs for Rafi Saab and Kishore Da without compromising on the melody factor which remained intact till the very end and that's why he remained at the top till his death while his contemporaries (OP,Naushad, SJ) vanished into oblivion (which you know very well and I am too small a person, both in age and knowledge in front of you to write all this). OP's best album of the 70s is Ek Baar Muskura Do and Pran Jaye Par Vachan Na Jaye, while Naushad never looked beyond Rafi. Shankar found difficult to cope up due to Jaikishan's death. Even Ravi's best work of the 70's was Ek Mahal Ho Sapno Ka (dominated by Kishore). Sachin Da knew well how to adapt with the changing times and his genius son inherited this trait from him.<br /><br />Also can you please write an article in due course about Kishore Da's association with different heroes as the fickle media has stereotyped him with RD and Dev-Rajesh-Amitabh. It would be grateful of you<br /><br />Thanks<br />Udit Nathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00158537061122394934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7556566360743437790.post-78220882123601319872013-10-17T21:32:03.623+05:302013-10-17T21:32:03.623+05:30Thanks Udit for bringing this to my notice here. M...Thanks Udit for bringing this to my notice here. Many thanks from my side. I find these discussions mundane nowadays, SD composed different sets of melodies for Rafi and Kishore at different times, and to jump on to conclusion without delving deep is immaturity IMHO, which many of the people involved there did. Given time, would surely try to do a better researched(musically) thesis on that topic in my blog in future.

I want you to please visit the blog Songs Of Yore and the article, "Rafi's best songs by SD", and scroll down to the comment no. 37 written by one Mr. K R Vaishampayan where he has praised that article.<br /><br />Also in that blog you'll find various articles to your liking on the golden era and its singers. It has SD Burman's association with all the singers and their best songs with him. As usual, the same Rafi-Kishore debate is going on about who sang better for Karta and who was his favorite. Please read the articles in that blog and I'm quite sure you'll love it.<br /><br />ThanksUdit Nathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00158537061122394934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7556566360743437790.post-6575195865490506742013-09-29T18:41:18.351+05:302013-09-29T18:41:18.351+05:30Yes, right Abhinish, thinking were pretty much in ...Yes, right Abhinish, thinking were pretty much in the line of discussion we had on Whatsapp. Shifting loyalty is an age-old issue and for MD-Singer there are many bitter-sweet stories in the industry. Surely will delve some of them in future. Thanks again.

I believe shifting voices is more discussed, but shifting loyalties with MD's is a little less discussed...<br /><br />CHEERS<br /><br />ABHINISH KALE... :))Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7556566360743437790.post-66258544297675861232013-09-28T11:59:49.251+05:302013-09-28T11:59:49.251+05:30Very illuminating article Arghya da.

I too am a huge fan of the golden era with Kishore Kumar being my perennial favorite singer....although Rishi Kapoor got the creme-de la-creme from Kishore da while Rafi saab also contributed nicely for him thanks to Laxmikant-Pyarelal in AAA,Sargam,Karz,Do Premee,Deedar-e-Yaar (Laila Majnu being an exception)...Rishi always considered Shailendra Singh as his true voice...because in the programme Evergreen voices on CNN-IBN there was a Shailendra Singh special where SS had mentioned that, "One day Rishi came to meet me and gifted me with a cup where it was written "You are my soul"... Cheers and looking forward to more beautiful articles from you.<br /><br />Thanks<br /> UditUdit Nathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00158537061122394934noreply@blogger.com
