Thank you for your reply brother, i 100% agree with your comment. Rajesh Roshan music i enjoyed very much, It just shows sometimes quality of albums can be better than quantity of albums. Other MD's who i thought did really well in the 70's early 80's were Sonik Omi & Bappi Lahiri. Not taking anything away from the big boys of the 70's KA-LP-RDB who were and possibly still are the biggest of that era.
BTW thank you so so much on all your posts that i been reading, especially your write up on possibly one of bollywoods biggest MD's Shankar Jaikishan. Keep posting bro your articles are worth reading 100 times over.
Bro, you are too kind, Thanks a lot for your great words, I don't deserve them though. I am glad you enjoyed those write-ups

You should write more, I really enjoy reading your fantastic posts, keep it up

. There aren't many who write about RR, and I am happy that you did and that you admire him as much as I do.
I have seen many posts where people compare RR's music to Pancham. I think their styles were different, Bappi Lahiri in my view would be more similar to Pancham's brand of music.
Have you noticed the way RR used to handle his orchestra, his violin section was amazing, up there with the best of them, he had a great sense of percussion as well, and his use of instruments in his interlude music was top class. I adore his arrangements, they were never repetitive, always something new and fresh.
You are absolutely right, even though RR may have had fewer films compared to the Big 3 in the 70's/80's, quality is more important, and the quality of RR albums speaks for itself.
