268: Laxmikant-Pyarelal // Dosti
Tumblr media
Dosti Laxmikant-Pyarelal 1964, Angel
Composing partners Laxmikant Shantaram Kudalkar and Pyarelal Ramprasad Sharma worked together for 35 years and, per Hindustan Times,composed about 2,900 songs for 750 different films during that span—a level of productivity basically unfathomable outside of the specific context of the insanely prolific Bollywood studio system. 1966’s Dosti soundtrack was their artistic and commercial breakthrough, and as such it occupies a significant place in Indian music history. I’ve never seen the film, though its cover features two crying boys hugging so it may be up my alley. The Wikipedia synopsis makes it sound like a melodrama without parallel (aside from several hundred others made by Bollywood that same year). The movie opens with a boy’s father dying in an industrial catastrophe, his mother fainting and falling down the stairs (to her death), and then the boy getting disabled in an accident of his own. He then makes friends with a homeless blind boy, and the two chums are then rigorously wedgied by life itself for the next three hours until a happy ending imposes itself.
youtube
Working with lyricist Majrooh Sultanpuri (a notable leftist poet), Laxmikant-Pyarelal’s songs are strongly credited with Dosti’s enduring success, and while I’m neither an expert in their oeuvre nor Bollywood music as a whole, I can tell you this is beautiful music any fan of adventurous vintage pop should adore. The songs all strike my ear as happy, but with a tear welling in their eyes. It’s more subtle stuff than I associate with contemporary Bollywood: “Gudiya Kab Tak Na Hasogy” twinkles and minces to a gentle dance rhythm, leaving room for soulful flute and harmonium (or accordion?) solos and the melancholy lilt of a mandolin. Both members of the duo had a strong education in Western and Indian classical music, and these sentimental songs find the sweet spot between the traditions, with vigorous tabla rhythms and droning strings meeting melodies that evoke spaghetti western scores (“Janewalo Zara”) or practically quote “Ode to Joy” (“Rahi Manwa”).
It was the convention at the time for a reliable cadre of vocalists to dub over the singing voices of the lead actors, and Laxmikant-Pyarelal established long-standing relationships with their favourites. Dosti features two of their standbys, with Mohammed Rafi handling five of the six songs on the 10” soundtrack I own, and Lata Mangeshkar taking the other. Both absolute legends on the subcontinent, while Rafi and Mangeshkar were each well into adulthood by the time they recorded these songs they give such naively haloed performances that if you can squint (your ears?) just a little it’s easy to imagine they might have originated from the lips of children.
The scope of my expertise in this area is extremely limited, but if it’s not clear, Dosti gets my highest recommendation. If you should come across a ‘60s record with the Laxmikant-Pyarelal imprimatur at your local used shop, give it a shot.

(pic betterment- mr Sateesh Paknikar. scanned, cropped, low res image)6Jayant B. Joshi and 5 others
From other sources Tributes to Shamrao Kamble, the unsung music maestro of Hindi cine music industry, on his birth anniversary today.Shamrao Kamble  was an eminent and excellent music arranger who had worked with almost all the music directors in 60s and 70s. Basically a Harmonium player, he was also a master in organ and vibraphone playing. He was a favourite arranger of music directors Laxmikant -Pyarelal, Roshan, Rajesh Roshan, Jaidev and Sudhir Phadke. He was the melody section conductor in Laxmikant-Pyarelal's music and worked with them throughout their career. His music arrangements in films like 'Mujhe Jeene Do', 'Prem Parbat', 'Gharonda', 'Reshma aur Shera' (with Jaidev), 'Anokhi Raat' (Roshan), '’Kunwara Baap’, ‘Julie' (Rajesh Roshan) and the hit Marathi album 'Ritu Hirwa' was amazing.He had also composed music with the veteran violinist Prabhakar Jog for the English film 'Birbal My Brother' under the name 'Shyam-Prabhakar'. We have listened to his unbeatable harmonium in the songs like 'baai mi wikat ghetala sham", 'thakale re nandalala"(‘jagachya pathivar’), "jaane kahan gayi" (‘dil apna aur preet paraai’) and organ in "yashomati maiya se bole nandalala" (‘satyam shivam sundaram’. .Very few know that Shamrao himself was a brilliant composer as well. He used to compose Bhajans and once on listening to the Bhajans he composed, music director Pyarelal asked him “Shamraoji if you can compose the tunes so nicely, why don’t you think to be a full-fledged music director for films ?” He just said “I am more interested in the Music Arrangements..” Pyarelal asked him jokingly, “so shall I use your compositions ?” smiling, within a second he said, “Pyareji, my all work is for you… you may use whenever you wish..!” I am very much sure that if Shamraoji had taken music-direction is a career, he would have definitely achieved the position in the list of most talented and successful composers in Indian music field," said Pyarelal Ramprasad Sharma, the ace music director."His knowledge and devotion towards music was so deep, that he even used to guide or suggest the top artists like Rais Khan (sitar), Hariprasad Chaurasia (flute), Shivkumar Sharma (santoor) about the playing during the recordings. He also used to express that a particular music piece would be more effective if improvised in a different manner etc. And the greatness of those artists also, who used sportingly accept Shamraoji's suggestions and appreciate the same.. This was only because they were fully aware of Shamraoji’s knowledge and capacity.  And also this was the reason that we had given total freedom to him in our work also," said Pyarelal.In his early career, Shamrao had worked as a notation-writer. He was the one who wrote down the notation for Dinanath Mangeshkar's natya sangeet (Chandrika hi janu, Vilopale madhu meelanat ya, Yuwati mana etc).He was well-versed in western idiom too. He brought sophistication to the music pieces of Sudhir Phadke, Roshan and Jaidev. His speciality was reading the lyrics and composing music interludes to set the mood for the next stanza. His interludes for 3 stanzas used to be all different (e,g. Jo waada kiya nibhana padega). He completed Roshan's 'Anokhi Raat' in his absence when Roshan died halfway through the movie.He assisted Rajesh Roshan in his first two movies 'Kunwara Baap' and 'Julie', and young 'Shridhar Phadke' for his 'Rutu Hirwaa' album and continued even later.A producer once came to Jaidev asking him to score for Gharonda, but asked him to give music like R.D.Burman. Jaidev refused, but Shamrao said "You just say yes, we will see what to do". He is the one who transformed Jaidev's difficult tunes into modern rhythm and orchestration, using strings, transichord and whistle effectively. After the movie was released, Jaidev rang him up "Arre ye tune kya kar diya? My music is so successful, now everyone wants music like that. I have to attach your name to mine, too".Shamrao was the senior partner in Shyam Kamble & Party (along with Laxmikant and Pyarelal who were kids) performing at the Ganeshotsav programmes. Shamrao Kamble was one such soul who has contributed endlessly to the music industry. For many he was a guide and father figure in the music industry. And more than all this he was a great great human being. So modest and down to earth for all his amazing achievements..Shamrao Kamble passed away on away on 17th October 2008 at Dombivli due to a Brain Stroke. He was 83.Although the void created by him can never be filled, his art and work will remain in everyone’s memory eternally.May the noble soul of Shamrao Kamble rest in eternal peace.(The Admin at Imprints and Images of Indian Film Music conveys his heartfelt  thanks to Shri.Prasad Sanwatsarkar for the photograph and Sri.Chandu Kale for the information on Shamrao Kamble )

Wishing great musician Pyarelal Ramprasad Sharma on his 77th birth anniversary.
Pyarelal Ramprasad Sharma (born 3 September 1940) was the son of a renowned trumpeter Pandit Ramprasad Sharma (popularly known as Babaji), who taught him the basics of music. He started learning violin at the age of 8.
He learnt to play violin from a Goan musician named Anthony Gonsalves. The song "My Name Is Anthony Gonsalves" from the movie Amar Akbar Anthony is regarded as a tribute to Mr. Gonsalves (the movie had music by Laxmikant–Pyarelallal). By the age of 12, his family's financial condition had deteriorated, which in turn forced him to earn money by playing in studios. Pyarelal then used to frequent and play the violin in studios such as Ranjit Studios, to earn money for his family.
Laxmikant and Pyarelal met at Sureel Kala Kendra, a music academy for children, run by the Mangeshkar family. After she came to know about their financially poor backgrounds, Lata recommended their names to music directors like Naushad, Sachin Dev Burman and C. Ramchandra. Similar financial backgrounds and age made Laxmikant and Pyarelal very good friends.
They used to spend long hours at the recording studios, sometimes getting work for each other and even playing together whenever they got the opportunity.

Tributes to Nisar Bazmi, on his 11th death anniversary today. Nisar Bazmi had an illustrious career as a music composer not only in India but also in Pakistan. A musical prodigy, composer and singer, Nisar Bazmi is a forgotten name in the history of Indian cinema. On March 22, 2007, newspapers in Pakistan mourned the loss of one of their most competent film music composers. That Nisar Bazmi began his career in the vast industry of Indian cinema was but a footnote in his career. Born in the district of Jalgaon in Maharashtra, Bazmi had no tutelage or background in music. This did not restrict his musical genius in any way. Struggling through the miseries of poverty at an early age, Bazmi joined the qawwali troupe of Yasin Khan. It was here that the youngster learned the ropes of classical Hindustani music. Penury might have pushed him into music, but his natural talents drove him higher up the scales. Having noticed Bazmi's individual skills at a concert, Ustad Amanullah Khan took him up as a disciple. Nisar Bazmi spent four years learning the arts and travelling with the Ustad's troupe. Soon, All India Radio offered Bazmi a stint as a staff artist. This was the perfect launchpad for the next leap he was about to make. The 40s were a great age for Indian theatre and cinema. The new Progressive movement had opened up the floodgates for ethnic Indian music and plays. It was one such play, Nadir Shah Durrani, that got Bazmi noticed by the film industry. Dinkar Rao, a well known Hindustani music composer, offered Bazmi the chance to provide music for the play. Sung by the illustrious Amiri Bai Karnataki and Rafiq Ghaznavi, Bazmi's music captured the soul of the play. Recognition arrived further in the form of AR Zamindar. A prominent producer in the budding Indian film industry, Zamindar tasked Bazmi with composing the music for his film Jamna Paar in 1946. It began a fruitful period in Bazmi's music career. Over the next couple of decades, Nisar Bazmi composed music for 40 films like Jeb Katra, Khauffnaak, Aankhen, Dagabaaz and Khoj. His songs were put to voice by the top artistes of the day like Mohammed Rafi, Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhosle and Manna Dey. Among his troupe were two very gifted artistes, who would go on to become the leading lights of the Indian music industry themselves, Laxmikant Shantaram Kudalkar and Pyarelal Ramprasad Sharma. In 1962, on being invited by Fazal Karim Fazli, a Pakistani filmmaker, Bazmi took to composing music for a relatively unknown Pakistani film industry. His work earned him praise and a huge fan following. The film Nagmani remains one of his most popular works, with compositions sung by the legendary Noorjehan. In 2007, his career and life came to an abrupt end. Yet, Bazmi left some unforgettable memories and an imprint as one of the foremost participants from the exclusive club of Hindustani music to have composed for films in India.
