nis din barasat nain hamare - K.L.Saigal in Tansen
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGXtmCD_FTY&NR=1
Thank you rajraj sir for sharing some very rare gems of Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan and K L Saigal. Gone are those days!
Here is another song from a later attempt at a TANSEN movie. The movie was never filmed; or the songs officially released. This is the complete (original) recording of the song "shadajnE paayaa yEh vardaan..." composed by Ravindra Jain, and sung by K.J. Yesudas:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEpWWp7tct4
Thanks RD for the song by Jesudas. I was searching for similar song where he sings in different ragas in old Tansen movie. It is probably buried in somewhere.
Here is another Saigal song I like:
sOjaa raajkumaari (Zindagi)

(RD and V.S: You are welcome. I will post some more songs I liked from the 40s and 50s! :) )

Kuhu Kuhu Bole Koyaliya- Swarna sundhari(1957)
Swarna sundhari was made in Telugu,Tamil and Hindi.
Lata Mangeshkar and Mohmd Rafi in the Hindi version:

It was a popular song in all versions.
From Miss Mary (1957)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTvZu...eature=related
I think the movie was first made in Tamil followed by Telugu and Hindi. A popular song still heard in musical events and concerts.

A song in Malkauns (Hindholam in carnatic music) :
mana tadpat hari dharshanko aaj by Mohammad Rafi
http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=tz7C0MEaMfQ
It was a popular movie and this song was the most popular. Even today it is sung in bhajans and other musical events.
A difficult song to sing! :) One of my favourite classical tunes.
I remember the following lyrics. but can't find the song any where. Please respond if you have heard it or know about it.
Humnasheen , dekho yeh humnasheen mera hai aasman meri hai yeh zameen
Guzregi zindagi ke lamhe meri yahin,
I remember listening it in Sony TV when they were just starting transmission (daly some 6-7 hours).
just can't find the song.
please help
A song from Badi Bahen(1950 ? ), a very popular one.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xla97GWKb4g
The tune was used in a Tamil song in vaazhkkai(1949).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVhPFC840TQ
vaaazhkkai was a great hit and this song was popular and it was common for people of all ages to hum the tune or sing the first few lines. It was released when I was in middle school (sh........ no comments/guess about my age ! :lol: )
I used to sing this song and I still do ! :) The original Hindi song was also popular, a good reason to use the tune in vaazhkkai.
Have fun going back to the 40s and singing "eNNi eNNi paarkka manam". = ( When I think about it my heart is filled with joy! :) )
? I think Badi Bahen was released before vaazhkkai.
vaazhkkai was Vaijayanthimala's first movie!
anmol ghadi was a hit movie. I liked most of the songs. Here is one:
jawaan hai mohabbat by Noor Jehan
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjNYWwtBjeY
There is something special in the voices of Noor Jehan,Shamshad Begum, Kanan Devi and others! May be, you can tell me! :)
The youtube readers have a lot to say.
Next I will post a teaser! :)
rajraj,
That was a fantastic composition by Naushad saab. Thanks a lot. Gone are those legends :sad: Naushad ji compositions are the first ones I started to collect, when it comes to Hindi songs. Really they are all 'anmol ghadi'.
I love all their voices before Lataji's era. Noor Jehan, Shamshad Begum, Kanan Devi, Uma Devi, Suraiya, Amirbhai Karnataki all have striking and strikingly similar voice deep rooted in folk and nativity.
Main dil mein dar basa laai by Suraiya from the same film is again an all time classic!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqTz9qFz1SY
Oh No. Can't believe it. This year is too bad, many legends have been taken from the world. Rest in Peace Jagjit ji :sad:
VERY SAD DAY!:(

"main kya karoon raam mujhe buddaa mil gaya" from Sangam (1964):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oA0HU...eature=related
Fun song sung in parties even in the 80s. Was a popular song and the movie too!
This was a popular song. A bit difficult to sing. Still it is sung in parties.
madhuban mein raadhikaa naachchere
giridhar ki muraliyaa bhaajare.........
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nv973KjZH20
What a song to kick start the morning! Singing God Rafi at his best. Listened to it more than 10 times now. Thanks rajraj for reminding me this classic!
Shamshad Beghum's first song for Naushad ji. Even at that time, Naushad ji has composed this song in middle-eastern style.
Jab Usne Gesu Bikhraye - Shahjehan (1946)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmKTDj1BGmM
Rafi's first song for Naushad ji, again from the same film. Eventhough Rafi has sung his first song for a Punjabi film "Gul Baloch" in 1944, I think this is his first hindi song. The surprise in this song is, K L Saigal is the lead singer and Rafi only comes at the end when a beggar is shown. In that way this is a unique song as both singing legends sang this song. This opportunity did not happen to others like Lata, Asha or Kishore. People also say that only Rafi got the opportunity to meet K L Saigal.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhHJeZ844Mc
These two songs are not special just for the above milestones, it is very special for the way it is composed. Only Naushad ji can bring in all the indian classical flavor blended with folk to reach every audience right from the time it was released till today after 65 long years. These songs has travelled several generations, seen many changes in the musical paths, yet didn't shy away from capturing our hearts. That's why they are called classic!
A little bit of philosophical touch! In fact sad! :(
dhek there sansaar ki haalat kya ho gayi bhagwaan kithnaa badhal gayaa insaan.........
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iP30-...eature=related
The Tamil version of the song is in the movie Naastikan sung by Trichy Lokanathan.
I could not find a video clip. I think the audio clip is in Raaga.
The song deals with the partition of India.
I used to sing the Tamil version that goes like:
maanilamel sila maanidaraal enna maarudhal paarayyaa manidhan maariyadhenayyaa.........
I listened to this qawwaali about 30 years back sung by a teenager after dinner in our place. We used to have dinner and singing those days! I remembered the line 'na to karavaan ki taraash hai'. Had no clue about the movie. Here it is from Youtube! :)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znAvEa6E9pw
( The girl who sang the qawwaali is a physician now! Hope she is still entertaining friends with her sweet voice! :) )
This is one of the few qawwaalis I liked. I will post others later.
Udan khatola (Hindi) was a hit movie and was dubbed into Tamil as Vaanaratham(1956).
Here is one song from those versions sung by Lata Mangeshkar:
more sainyaa jee utharenge................nadhiyaa dheere chalo

There are a few more songs in both languages. I will post them if I find them! :)
Happy DeepaavaLi ! :)
Indian cinema caught up with Rock and Roll songs in the fifties. One of the earliest movies to feature a rock and roll tune was 'Aasha' (Hindi)(1957). The movie was a hit and the producer made it in Tamil as Adhisaya PeN with a HIndi tune repeated.
Here is 'Eenaa Meenaa Deekka':
Male singing:

Tamil(female) version:

There is a male version in Tamil too. I could not find the video or audio clip.
This song was popular during my college days and the loudspeakers used to blare this song in college functions.
Fond memories! :)
I sing a few lines from the Tamil version.
Have fun! :)
Happy DeepavaLi with a lot of sweets!
rajraj,
Naushad's premier composition - More sainyya jee Utarenge paar ho, nadiya dhire baho. My relatives who are in Pune used to tell, they listen to these timeless classics on Binaca Geetmala hosted by Radio Ceylon anchored by Hamid Sayani. They just close their ears for anything greater than 70s. :lol: They are so obsessed that they didn't want to spoil their ears. Even though they may not seem right, I don't blame them. They had listened to such high quality compositions that they can talk about them days together. Beautiful times spent with them. Remember them when I listen to these 50s-60's classics.
Sunil,
Another splendid one by S D Burman. I was staying in Sion that time and used to walk or travel by Bus/train to next station Matunga for food. Every time I used to carry this tape 'Dev Anand hits' in my walkman and never tired of listening to these gems.
Thanks for reminding these gems!
Hope you had a fun filled DeepaavaLi!
Let us have Deepavali for some more time!
You might have read about Muthswami Dikshithar composing and singing in Amrutavarshini to bring rains to Ettayapuram area. Tansen (Saigal) sings in Deepak (?) to turn the lights on.
diya jalao jagmag jagmag........
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0mNrYx9j3E
One of my friends used to sing diya jalao!
If you are interested in listening to the composition by Dikshithar(not a movie song):

In October 1966 I attended a concert by M.S.Subbulakshmi in Chicago. I was a student then. After the concert she mingled with the audience and was kind enough to autograph the booklet distributed at the concert. I still have the autographed booklet with the list of songs for the concert tour and also the concert in the United Nations on Oct 23,1966. She sang Hari tum haro.
Here it is:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itUXh4UrTZc
This song is not in the movie Meera(1947) with M.S.Subbulakshmi as Meera. Here is a song from the movie:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QH3Yv...eature=related
The movie was made in Hindi and Tamil with MS as Meera in both. Most of the songs are in Youtube. You might want to browse. The movie is also in Youtube.
I posted this on Oct 28the because I was listening to some of her carnatic songs and also this happens to be the day I joined the rat race (starting to work) in the US ! :lol: Time flies. Nothing like those college years! :)
Have a good weekend! :)
Wow! that one was a memorable one Raj! No words to describe the feeling when MS sings, God will automatically be in front of us. Kural'la enna vaseegaram, Aha! Thanks a lot for sharing these everlasting gems. Need to revisit others as you recommended. Very nice to hear your nostalgic moments. You are gifted to meet and get autograph from 'Bharat Ratna' MS.
A Masterpiece by Vasant Desai. Gunj Uthi Shehnai (1959). A perfect example on how songs should be composed for a movie based on love.
Jeewan Mein Piya Tere Saat Rahe - A joyous composition for lovers enjoying their heavenly moments. No two thoughts about Rafi-Lata when it comes to singing. Pranaam! We can give everything for the starting aalaap!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWeFgA9khks
After all the jubilant mood, most other songs fall into pathos, lori and grief. Again Rafi and Lata takes up another mood and melts our heart. Especially listen to these gems.
Dil Ka Khilona Haye Toot Gaya by Lata ji.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Se7iJ...eature=related
And this feverish high pitch nostalgia by one and only Rafi. Kehdo Koi Na Kare Yahan Pyaar. What a pain in his voice and singing by this singing God! Hear those gliding sangathis!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSab_...eature=related
A shenoi beauty in Gunj Uthi Shehnai. Teri Shehnai Bole. A perfect lori by Rafi-Lata. Any disturbing and tiring mind will be put to sleep immediately by this devagaanam!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_voc0...eature=related
What variations shown by these legends in singing and some greatest compositions by Vasant Desai! Come back those B&W era!
If you spent sleepless nights before DeepaavaLi here is a lullaby for you- one of the best in Hindi cinema:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIh_6...eature=related
From the movie Do Bhiga Zamin, considered to be a trend setter or trend changer.
Here is a song from Jhanak Jhanak Payal Baje, one of the first color movies directed by Shantaram with his wife in the cast:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAuqn...eature=related
I liked the movie and the songs. Will post another song later. The story is about a dancer with Gopi Krishna in the lead.
The tune was used in a Tamil movie and the song is:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVkMwxlgbEs
Here is a song in Jaijaiwanti (Dwijawanti in carnatic music with a slight difference) from Seema(1955).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXGMxTTB_Dg
Jaiajaiwanti is one of my favourite raagaas along with Malkauns,Bageshri,Darbari Kanada and a few others!
Unfortunately there are not that many movie songs in Jaijaiwanti! :( There are a number of classical renditions in vocal and instrumental. Here is one in Sarangi, if you like:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eELdSdZMl8k
Sarangi is a vanishing instrument. It disappeared from carnatic music centuries back. It appears as though it is fading from Hindustani music also.
If you like violin here is a piece:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdkZomCA57w
I am sure you have listened to vocal renditions by Bhimsen Joshi, Jasraj and others! :)
Have a good weekend. I will post something with ankle bells after the weekend! :)
Many of the movies from 60s and earlier had dance sequences with ankle bells. Some classical dances. Here is one that is not:
