Laxmikant Pyarelal by UdayM

Today Remembering Padmashree (Why not Bharat Ratna) Mohammed Rafi Saab on his 39th Death Anniversary (31.07.1980) तुम मुझे यूँ भुला ना पाओगे,  हाँ तुम मुझे यूँ भुला ना पाओगे जब कभी भी सुनोगे गीत मेरे,  संग संग तुम भी गुनगुनाओगे हाँ तुम मुझे यूँ भुला ना पाओगे, हो तुम मुझे यूँ Can't believe its 39 years since the soul was departed. I still remember the day when I had heard the news at the age of 7 but didn't know the importance of Rafi Saab, the Great Mohammed Rafi Saab's role in our day to day lives until all the songs were heard while growing up and yes I miss him. He should have sung more. Rafi Saab the man with the voice of God walked this earth and we are fortunate that we lived and breathed the times when he was alive. He has sung under all the best music composers and he has given innumerous solos , duets, bhajans, qawwalis, etc for all of them. Though I strongly feel he gave his best renditions to Naushad saab but after that I believe only LP saabs h...

Another Star Identities by Laxmikant Pyarelal: Madhuri Dixit. Shaping of careers with Music was a special way of the Musical Emperors of India Laxmikant Pyarelal. These 3 songs whenever is heard we can imagine the owner of 440 volts smile face of the heartthrob of many till date Madhuri Dixit. I would love to include my reasons of loving these following tracks: Ek, Do, Teen.. (Banjo Instrument, Peppy rhythm, Outstanding Brass Section, Unforgettable dance steps, Flawless Alka Yagnik, Javed Akhtar's imagination) Besides many of other songs created by LP for this dancing diva. Her career sky rocketed with her moves in the film Tezaab, especially with this song. Wow. What an amazing album with never ending exploding song after song after song. The film was a commercial success too. The marvel of this song was very peculiar as there are some interesting factual stories of how the song was created with only numbers/digits. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dx57HiK1wUg O R...

Another Star Identities by made by Laxmikant Pyarelal. We speak about the flamboyant son of legendary actors Shree Sunil Dutt & Smt Nargis Dutt: Sanjay Dutt aka Sanju aka Sanju Baba. Can anyone imagine any other song so apt as this one for this unbeatable star of almost last 4 decades now will enter the 5th decade. I simply admire his graph of films but just cannot imagine his life of twists and turns. Though it has been well portrayed in the Rajkumar Hirani Film "Sanju". Without this gem song made for him by the maestros Laxmikant Pyarelal and that was Midas touch for this Nayak. Every time we see him on screen then this is the one and only song that runs on our minds and also on screens. Let be his appearance in TV Shows, Award Shows or any other appearance. And why not? It was flavor fully created with the heart and soul of the great LP Saabs. Refreshingly rendered by Vinod Rathod and must say his voice suits him effortlessly. Each and every instrument used in...

Further extended by by Majrooh Sultanpuri for the film "Ek Nazar" and it was soulfully composed by Laxmikant and Pyarelal and flawlessly renderred by the God's voice Mohd. Rafi Saab & evergreen Lata Mangeshkar ji. http://www.lyricsoff.com/songs/patta-patta-boota-boota.html My favourite part in this song is that the song starts with female and completes the mukhda. The surprise is Rafi Saab is heard with his honey coated voice in the 1st antra with "koi kisi ko chaahey, toh kyun g...
