Jodi Dhamaal Ke, Gaane Kamaal Ke, Few Favourite Duets of Guru and his Co-singers Options

[eskayes]

Hi friends,
In forty years of bollywood career, Guru has virtually sung with every singer who appeared on the scene during that period....104 male singers and 83 female singers to be precise (this includes songs with multiple singers on a song as well as non-singers lending their voice for some dialogues within the song...like Shtarughan Sinha having some dialogues in Jwalamukhi song Paan Bidi Cigarette Tambakoo Na Sharaab, Humko To Nasha Hai Mohabbat Ka Janab)....

Various database on these Jodies created along the way of discussions on this thread has been indexed as under:

Here, i intend putting up some of the chosen few songs with these singers (to the extent that i have the songs)...of course some of them might be the ones which i got from this very forum courtesy our fellow-members....

i start with Bhupendra, who, while, is not as versatile as Guru, but i do like the heaviness and depth of his voice...

(i) Achchhi Achchhi Pyari Pyari
Film: Trimurty 1974
Singers: KK, Bhupinder, Nitin Mukesh
Duration: 03:26@128

(ii) Duki Pe Duki Ho
Film: Satte Pe Satta 1981
Singers: KK, Asha, Bhupinder, RD
Duration: 04:06@128

(iii) He Mujhe Dil De
Film: Mr. Romeo 1973
Singers: KK, Asha, Bhupinder, RD
Duration: 05:54@128

Incidentally MD for all these is RD....he definitely liked Bhupinder a lot....may be because Guru's default pitch and Bhupinder's pitch were very close...as were Manna Dey's and Yesudas's....but then Guru was Guru...he could mould his voice, its pitch and throw depending upon the situation in the movie and the mannerism the actor...many are greats but then only a few are genious..

Ravi, GuruFan,
when it comes to Guru, I am sure we all find hidden energy within...that was his charishma....i thought as we go along, might as well put the list of duets songs of Guru (may be excepting Asha and Lata) with various singers for record sake...we all find interest in such stats after all....

Well, before going ahead, i thought i would compile the database that we are generating here during our discussions...I have, therefore, posted an Index on Post # 1 of this thread, which provides a quick link to database created....do have a look and give me feedback please....

I have deliberately been taking this thread at a slower pace, since couple of other threads had been moving fast and having greater interest from others..besides, this thread needs a bit of research, to find time for that is not always easy.....i have a few ideas for this one, but for now, will let it move the way it is...

Yes this requires research and therefore will move at a slower pace than others.

checked your index.great idea(usefriendly !!)

i guess, bupinder has 3 songs posted in post 1 itself which needs to be indexed swell(post#1 & post #--)

also u have given two master lists of jodis(male and female o-singers).i think it can move into post#1 which is like an intro to the whole thing.

otherwise graet..lage raho..
