It is well known fact that Next Numero uno after SHankar Jaikishan , Laxmikant pyarelal were huge fan of SJ. Intially theynot only modeled their music on SJ but also their dress and looks. LP ruleld for close to two decades . What more proof one does want when LP says that there is no one as SHANKAR JAIKISHAN !

Now check what Pyarelal ji has to say in the book Bollywood melodies

PYARELAL SAYS

Which composer would you rate as the best from the 50's and the 60's?
Look, I don't believe in comparisons. Like I said before, each composer brings
to music all that he has and it is not his fault if sometimes the films don't do
well or the composer doesn't get his due. Having said that, Laxmiji and I liked
Shankar Jaikishan the most. They are the only composers whom we never assisted
or played for. Isn't it strange that both Laxmiji and I liked the same composer
duo the best? Just shows how much we were in sync when it came to matters
musical. So fond of them we were that both of us used to copy all their
mannerisms.

What was it that SJ had which other music directors didn't?
You tell me what they didn't have! Is there a single flaw you can see in them as
composers? Is there any other composer who consistently gave good music in so
many films? Is there a single kind of music they've not made? If Naushad saab
composed Baiju Bawra SK followed with Basant Bahar. What superb music they gave
for Raj Kapoor films! In fact, I'll be honest and say that while we won the
best composer award for Dosti in 1964, I liked Shankar Jaikishan's score for
Sangam better!
....They never copied anyone else. ....
