TRIBUTE TO SHANKAR-JAIKISHAN
MANNDA DA-WAY
”TAARE NAHIN ANGARE HAIN VO, AB CHAND BHI JAISE JALTA HAI; NEEND KAHAN SEENE PE KOI BHARI KADMON SE CHALTA HAI……AI PYASE DIL BEZUBAN, LUT KE RAHA TERA JEHAN……..” ON their 60th anniversary of entering into hindi film music….the Shankar Jaikishan cud have got this tribute from the erstwhile singer, hamare pyare manna da…who, we as a forum members of S-J fans, can ”total recall” the programme of manna dey on TOTAL RECALL ON THE TIMES NOW CHANNEL, recently, where no names like SHANKAR JAIKISHAN were mentioned by mannd dey and the narrator of the programme….then how it became a TOTAL RECALL, strange enough. the 50s era was totally left when dear manna dey was on his top heights thanks to SHANKAR JAIKISHAN , who unknowingly made the great tunes for manna dey, because had they thought one day for no fault of theirs, their name will be wiped away from this programme by the singer they wud perhaps have opted for other singer, who cud give them due credit, so their souls in heaven felt relief and gave blessings that their efforts have not gone waste… we have full respect for manna dey, since he is 80 plus and his memory may have faulted….that is why for no reason he spelt the name of Raj Kapoor, for no contribution on the part of Raj Kapoor to the three immortal songs scantily played.
-LATA was wise enough that she went to ask for royalty, and she got it for all the singers…..the creators-OUR MUSIC DIRECTORS AND LYRICISTS WERE SO simple and gentle, that they did not demand or fought for royalty, which was their right, being BRAHMA OF THE FILMDOM, WHO CREATED THE TUNES AND THE SINGERS ON THEIR INSTRUCTIONS SANG THE SONG…..THERE IS NO CREATIVITY ON THE PART OF SINGER except using 7 sur, which the composers elaborated to them on harmonium or piano or sitar…..ONE CRITIC WROTE THAT HAD THE MDs CLAIMED ”ROYALTY”, AND GOT IT, SHANKAR JAIKISHAN WUD HAVE BEEN PERHAPS AMONGST THE TOP BILLIONAIRES OF THE WORLD……we forum member think, perhaps this was the reason that manna dey and others getting royalty, he cud not mention S-J name for creation of at least 5 of their songs…..and the MDs who went into his list were SDB, KA, AND RDB….means it is the end of hindi film songs, who created the numbers can be taken on fingers…..Lata sang 300 solos for S-J, but where is the credit…manna dey sang 78…but the list is nil……and it was already written in the 60s itself by their critics, that S-Js names wud be written in hindi film music history with GOLDEN WORDS……and is clear from Radios who play 8 to 10 songs daily of S-J, despite manna da not mentioning their name or credit in total recall…….beethovan, and zubin mehta are rembered for their creations and ”bharatwarsh ki atma ko apne sangeet se jinjhodnewale, AUR JINKA SANGEET CHINA, RUSSIA AUR ENGLAND, TAK PAHUNCHA AUR JINKO SPL AWARD FOR MUSIC OF BOOT POLISH IN CANNES FILM FESTIVAL IN 1953, MILA, ko cuchh log bhulne lagte hain.” but let people do lakhs of efforts, the immortal MUSIC linger on in the memory of past and present day generations…..they were the only music directors who were presented FILMFARE AWARDS BY THE THEN EGYPT’S PRESIDENT REV. ABDUL GAMMAL NASSER IN 1962 0r 1963 who was on the official visit to INDIA….long live the music of S-J THE TOPPERS OF HINDI FILM MUSIC.
