Kishoreda - A Contrast

Introducing to you friends the themat of this thread -

We already know that Kishoreda has sung for almost all the MDs of yesteryears and for some contemporary ones too. Some favoured Kishoreda and it is no surprise to us that Guru had sung maximum number of songs under Panchamda's baton. Not just RDB, but other popular music director’s like Sachinda, Laxmikant Pyarelal, Kalyanji Anandji, Bappi Lahiri, Rajesh Roshan etc.. created magic with Kishoreda to last a lifetime and for future generations to enjoy. Who can forget the marvellous scores such as Kati Patang, Mere Jeevan Saathi, Jawani Deewani, Aap Ki kasam to name a few with RDB, Aaradhana with SDB, Kabhi Kabhi with Khayyam, Jhony Mera Naam, Black Mail, Sachha Jhuta With Kalyanji Aanadji, Mr X in Bombay, Karz with Laxmikant Pyarelal, Julie, Yaarana with Rajesh Roshan, Chalte Chalte, Zakhmee, Sharabi with Bappi Lahiri and many others.

While it is true that, Kishoreda kept delivering gem after gem with the renowned Music Directors, there were several beautiful compositions with the lesser known Music Directors who used his talent to their advantage and delivered number of Gems. On the other there were many top MDs who did not use Kishoreda's voice to the fullest extent due to their preferences or for some other unknown reasons but still produced outstanding Kishore compositions.

Among the Gems of Kishore Da for lesser known Mds who can forget Teri Duniya Se Hoke Majboor (Prem Dhawan), Ek Lamha To Bina Dard ( Vanraj Bhatia), Mere Meet Bata ( Jaykumar), Chaand Kya Hain (Ganesh) and many more.

There were others like Naushad sahab, Shankar-Jaikishan and O.P.Nayyar sahab used Kishore's voice limitedly for their compositions but still gave memorable ones.

Even Naushad ji is quoted saying following

“Naushad remembers Kishore the day he passed away...
There was always a special place in my heart for Kishore, for whenever we met, he used to tell me, "I have but one complaint against you. I have sung only once under your baton, so please compose a song for me." Today he is no longer with me. I feel sad that I was unable to fulfill his desire”

This thread is specially created to discover, share and discuss the Gems of Kishore da with Music Directors, who falls in these two categories.

This thread will work as a sub-thread to Guru’s Songs from All Released Movies and a link up from this thread will be given there, for easier tracking.

So dear folks, go ahead and be a part of this big time venture we all can work on.......

ps: I would like to add my sincere thanks here to Musicbhai and Ez bhai for urging me to take on this task and I am glad to be a part of this project which will be a great help to know Kishore and his songs better.

He had limited songs with Madan mohan too. whatever he sang was great.

And then there was duo of Shaym ji ghanshaym ji, remrember apun tau yaari main from harfan maula?

Cheel paloti.. gul gul loti.. well these words can really go to Musicman's thread for funny words. Bindu was called Gul gul loti in that song

Thanks Marcilo Bhai, I am adding This Song There at Versatile. I think HT is going to start discussion on all these MDs (that falls in these two categories one by one)

Thats a nice topic HT bhai

Greetings on Kishore's birthday Venu bhai! Thanks for the appreciation.

I will be dealing one MD per week, so that there is scope for discussion and trivia to be added in it.

AJIT VERMAN

This MD has composed only for a few films like Ardha Satya, Saraansh, Vaasta, Aakrosh, Jeevan Sandhya.. to mention a few.

JEEVAN SANDHYA 1986 - has one Kishore song. Badi beqaraari .. lyrics penned by Suraj Sanim. A beautiful 8 minute song.. mostly likely a background song.

(Requesting Sangeet bhai to help in giving a description of the video clip.. )

Badi beqaraari from Jeevan Sandhya is available for download on this post.

Sab art filme hi lag rahi hai. I wonder what kind of movie "JEEVAN SANDHYA 1986" was

Sangeet bhai has the answer for that one. Once he watches the movie, he will definitely key in a few lines about that.

Are you doing MDs in any particular order?

The default method.. Alphabetical order. Thank god no alphanumeric names

Great thread HT !!

The S-J chapter in Kishore's book is an interesting one, looking forward to when you get to these two master MD's. They have approx. 105 songs together, from KK's own films and outside. For some, this total is a revelation, as many of their songs are not well-known, but they're great. S-J brought out the best in most singers, Rafi, Lata, Asha, Mukesh, Manna, Suman etc. and Kishore was no exception.

Keep up the excellent work !

Thanks a lot PrinceAli bhai for your greetings. But, I may not handle the great duo SJ under this thread as this will be handling the lesser known MDs and MDs who used Kishore sparingly.

Nevertheless, I will be bringing up SJ-Kishore combo on the thread given below - by Venu bhai.
