The puzzle will be complete when you see Manoharisingh's voice recorded interview where he says how RD took them all to Madras and Dada got rid of them. Part number I don't remember. Just type in the space provided Manohari Singh on SD Burman. Thanks.

@Shekhar Paranjpe ji, Jeevan ki bagiye is the last song 'Tere Mere Sapne film, which SD Burman himself arranged musically. Please do see other parts of his interview videos by us. This is the best song of the film, as per me. Thanks.

@Nirupama Mishra, Please see all the videos on this channel, to know more about the great man. All these musicians and others who knew SDBurman have spoken about him in awe of what he achieved. Thanks

I am a regular to your videos. Lots of informations. Thanks

@@nirupamamishra974 Good to know that. Thanks

Dada composed, arranged and recorded this beautiful song without any arrangers, and, this as per me, happens to be the best song of the film.

There are a few rare music lovers left who know how to enjoy these songs with tears in their eyes.

+Moti Lalwani We were blessed to listen the most creative music in the whole universe. I was once fallen in my life and I used to listen only dada's music in his voice and travelled from sorrows to embrace the truth of life and world around. I was always in his arms of music to understand that melody exists.

+mukesh soni Dada was a true saint. I have studied his life, met many of those who knew him closely. Such souls take rebirth at will to do good for the mankind.

Amit S Very well said. I would like to add here that SDB was a multi talented genius who took interest in all aspects of film making, including telling film directors how a song will be picturised (Bimal Roy and Vijay Anand), telling lyricists which words to include (I have number of instances), telling a trained dancer which steps to take (I have Waheeda' s voice recording with me), telling his assistants how to compose and his singers how to sing and many more.

It must have been that way because while listening to his songs, many a times, I have myself found it difficult to make out if songs were made for the movie or the movie itself was made for his songs. He must have had complete vision of his songs.

I have written only a little bit about him in this small space. He was a very good father too. Listen to what son RDB and others have to say about S.D. Burman drive.google.com/file/d/0B1wT6QoGOcNfUHBTby14WTRKV3M/view?ts=588a0ee4

@ jai guru dev ji, Thanks for comments. Whenever we took name of Burman dada, all these living legends were willing to speak on him. Besides these interviews, most of them told us that no other music director could be compared with Dada. Thanks for comments.

Prem Kumar ji, My endeavour has been to bring to the fans authentic information on what happened those days in the life of our greats whom we admire. Thanks for appreciating my efforts.

A coffee table book has been published on Shiv Kumar Sharma. In that book the author has given credit to the music director and the arranger, not realizing that in this song Burman Dada was both himself, the music director and the arranger, having kicked out his assistant (son) and arrangers (Basu-Manohari), and completed the last song all by himself. I am quoting from the book a portion where it says: Shiv Kumar Sharma THE MAN & HIS MUSIC - Page 164 "... that wonderful maestro and his arranger (whoever it was in the film, decided to locate the santoor at these places, so appealingly too). "Think of ‘Jeevan ki bagiya mehkegi’, composed by SD Burman, feelingly delivered by Kishore and Lata… with its music now, what can one say? Just consider that a man and a woman (Mumtaz and Dev Anand in the film), married and in love, are expecting their first baby. The feeling can be heavenly and that feeling had to be translated into music. So we have the first interlude with the santoor and flute trilling along to lead us to the stanza: ‘Wo mera hoga’ (followed by a santoor filler) … ‘wo sapna tera hoga’ (santoor filler) … ‘mil-jul ke maanga wo tera-mera hoga (santoor filler)… ‘Jab-jab wo muskuraayega apna savera hoga, wo mera hoga’ (santoor) and so it proceeds. We are trying to map a part of the song and get scientific about what is essentially an art. And in this art, that wonderful maestro and his arranger (whoever it was in the film, decided to locate the santoor at these places, so appealingly too). Yes, arrangers, who help decide which instrument is to be located in a song, where a certain instrument will play, what and for how long, solo or ensemble, are critical; these refinements are not so known to many of us, but they have much worth in them." (Jeevan ki bagiya mehkegi' from 'Tere Mere sapne - 1971)

Very nice

+Mrinal Devburman wonderful words but words are not enough for these maestros. I listen to Pt HariPrasad ji and Shiv Kumar ji regularly. When they play their beloved instruments, they are one with them and they take us to their discovered heavens.

Discovered and undiscovered.

Nirmal ji, I am trying to clear a lot of myths about our legendary composer Burman Dada, who was a genius as both, singer and a music director.

Composed by SD Burman, with Shivji and Hariji only two solo players, and of course tabla player.

The best.

Nirmalkumar ji, RDB, Basu and Manohari were not called for any recording after that. They were sacked as per my recorded interview with Manohari Singh which I had posted on our SDB group. RDB was called for Balancing work during recording of Mili (1975) songs. Read my reply Mr Peeyush Sharma ji.

Peeyush ji, 'LP going to Dada for tips' - Isn't this information part of your interview with Vijay Anand? 'Jeevan ki bagiya mehkegi' is one of the best songs of Dada Burman. And to know that he single handed composed that song without RDB and Basu-Manohari. All three did not work any more with Dada. Except when Mili (1975) songs composed by Dada had to be recorded, Dada being sick, the arranger Bablu Chakravarty went to RDB and requested him to come for balancing in absence of Dada who was an expert in balancing work. This information came from the lyricist Yogesh and arranger Bablu during my interviews with them. You have to wait for those interviews to learn that.

yes it is.

Peeyush Sharma I also know that Laxmikant used to play Mandolin for Burman Dada, and Pyarelal used to play violin for Dada.

Rajan Kapur, Thanks.

@Anjana Banerjee, Dada ko gussa nahin tha. Yeh sab Meera ne kiya. Dada Rishi-Munni jaise thay. Pancham ko nikaalne waali Meera thi. Aap hamara interview Ranjit Gazmer saath dekhiye. Part no. yaad nahin hai.

Anjana Banerjee, Meera ke naraaz hone ke baare aap dekhiye interview 'Ranjit Gazmer on SD Burman Dada (Part Six).

Thikhae.sukria.
