All time great musical maestros who composed ever-lasting soulful melodies.
Music that is immortal and will remain etched in our memories forever.
I consider it a huge honour & privilege to have met them and interacted
with them on numerous occasions.. They were very down to earth and greeted
all their fans with a lot of humility and affection. Despite their hectic
schedule comprising meetings with singers, producers, etc they ensured that
well-wishers like me were taken care of. Being an ardent fan, I used to
attend their sessions at Famous Studios, which many a times extended till
late evenings. Shankarji then used to send his personal assistant to see me
off at Mahalaxmi railway station..
Here’s one example of their sheer greatness. ‘Bobby’ which released in 1973
featured the song ‘Na mango sona chandi’ which become a massive hit song at
that time. But this song was composed 2 decades back only by this musical
duo and can be heard in Instrumental while Nargis bathing scene in the
movie ‘Awara’ in 1952
Even the song ‘O basanti Pawan Pagal’ can be heard in Instrumental in the
movie ‘Awara’. Such was their uniqueness and distinctiveness that tunes
were composed way before lyrics were written.
