Can we all share just one song (solo or duet) per composer and complete "century" of her songs till 23rd November this year? I always wanted to do this thread and this seems to be the perfect occasion. I have realized that any one person can not do such a huge task, team work can only make it happen.

A kind request to all to participate in this thread and make it a success. It will be nice if we can write a few lines about the composer and a pic (if available).

Looking forward to hear from you all. I will take the responsibility of updating the list of composers. Once a song composed by a particular composer is shared, I will make his/her name bold.

Also, in case I have missed any name, please post the same here, so that we can keep the list updated. It may be possible that for a particular composer, the audio may not be available. Hence we need as many names of composers as possible, so that we can share at least 100 songs if not more.

Parag

Parag..this is very thoughtful of you ...Such a fantastic tribute to the incomparable Geeta ..

Parag...seems you missed out GK Venkatesh..

I would like to share these gems

1. Koi door se awaaz de Chale Aao - Sahib Bibi aur Ghulam -
Composer - Hemant Kumar Size - 2.18 mb, length - 1.45, 128 kbps Click to view attachment

2. Meri jaan mujhe jaan na kaho - Anubhav, Composer - Kanu Roy (corrected by HB) -
3.06 mb, length - 3.20, 128 kbps Click to view attachment

3. Chand hain wahi - Movie Pareenita -
Composer - Arun Kumar - 2.85 mb, length - 3.06, 12 kbps Click to view attachment

Amal Mukherjee, Nachiketa Ghosh (bengali), V. Balsara, Subir Sen, Mordhwaj and Jamal Sen are missed out. There maybe more too.

Included the names suggested by SF and HB. Thanks guys

Regards
Parag

Thanks HB, I always get confused with Kanu Ghosh and Kanu Roy (unless they are the same person???).

Bhavita,

Kanu Ghosh and Kanu Roy are two different person AFAIK. And Kanu Roy is not related to Geeta ji. Her only brother who was a MD is Mukul Roy.

More information about Kanu Roy is on our website here:

http://geetadutt.com/kanu.html

Also, the music of Shart was also composed by Hemantda.

Regards
Parag

Excellent start Bhavita.

Romesh ji has posted one song each composed by Master Ghulam Haider sahab and Pandit Govindram here

We wanted to do this and it was also attempted in the past but could not be completed. Today morning I thought about it and felt that this was the right time to do this thread. We all put together surely can come up with 100 songs in a month's time.

In Marathi there is a saying "Gaav kareel te raav kaay kareel" meaning : One rich man can not do what the whole town can do.
It basically tells that a collective effort will always work.

Cheers
Parag

Just a week ago I read an article somewhere that said Kanu Roy was her brother. Will forward that.
Sorry about the music of Shart. Will chage it.

Mukul Roy, brother of Geeta ji has confirmed very clearly to Haimanti Banerjee ji (author of the book "Geeta Dutt: The Skylark") that Kanu Roy was not related to them. Here is the family tree of Geeta Roy and Guru Dutt, all thanks to Amrita ji (Geeta ji's sister), Haimanti ji and our own HB.

Cheers
Parag

thanks Parag ji, I stand corrected

No worries Bhavita, we all were also under the same impression all these years. I think the common last name "Roy" was the reason for the misunderstanding for many people.

Added 5 more composers to the master list:

Aziz khan
Zafar khursheed
R A Paijankar
P Nageshwar rao
Jag phool kaushik

Parag

Format : mp3 @ 128 kbps, 44.1 kHz, 100 dB

Composer : Shankar Jaikishan

I would like to share the following song. Shankar Jaikishan are my favourite composers. My only regret is that they did not utilize the Geeta Dutt for more songs than 11 odd numbers she actually sang. About 50 such songs would have made a great repertoire.

LOVE MARRIAGE=1959=kareeb aao=Geeta Dutt=Shailendra=Shankar Jaikishan=3.58m

Enjoy

Thanks for this rare song. Here is a relatively less known song of Geeta Ji composed by Sajjad Hussain for Khel (1950).

I thought the composer was J P Kaushik. Does HFGK credit this song to Madhukar?

Aditya

Here's one song composed by Pt. Harbanslal

Aditya

aditya u are right it is j p kaushik and not madhukar. geet kosh also says j p kaushik

romesh

Aditya and Romesh ji

Thanks for the correction, I am sorry, the composer is indeed J P Kaushik. I believe Madhukar is the name of the person who gives male voice in the song with "Allah hoo allah hoo". I will correct the credits and will also update the list accordingly.

Best Regards
Parag

sharing another clip of geeta ji of duration 1.05mts again downloaded from internet saying it from an unreleased film jasoos-? some members might be interested in this clip details of the year & m/d are reqd.

dear parag

can u pl confirm the attributes of my posts "ek jahan aur bhi hain aasman se pare" and "angarey hain mat chhoo"

romesh

The MD is Anil Biswas (most probably). Here is the full version of the song:

Angare Hain Mat Chhoo - Jasoos 1957 unreleased - Geeta - Anil Biswas - 128 - 02:45
Click to view attachment

The film also had some songs composed by Iqbal (Qureishi?). I'm not sure if this song was by Anil Biswas or Iqbal?

Aditya

Romesh ji

Based on my information we have, these are the correct details for this song.

Jasoos is an unreleased film but the songs were recorded in the year 1957 and the MD is Anil Biswas sahab.

Best Regards
Parag

This is correct. Jwalamukhi was an unreleased film of the 50s with music by Devraj.

Aditya

Many thanks Balaji for this one. I have updated the master list accordingly.

Best Regards
Parag

Aditya, many thanks for this wonderful post. Another talented yet unknown composer!

Warmest Regards
Parag

Parag,

If I'm not mistaken there were two composers: Iqbal and Iqbal Qureishi. Iqbal was the MD of Sipah Salar (1956) and Iqbal Qureishi composed for Panchayat. Can someone confirm that these were two separate individuals?

Meanwhile, here is a song from Sipah Salar courtesy HF ( it has a small skip in between, but otherwise the audio is good)
