Saat Saath
Musings & Amusings

With threads on the "Muse & Music", "Three Reigning Queens", and "One of a Kind" in steady progress, I thought I will divert my attention to some other actors of the last half of the last century whose work has resulted in some great music. I received feelers from several members to start something like this, even though not at this scale. With these thoughts in mind, I have selected to look into the works of seven actors. These are:

Amitabh Bachchan
Dharmendra
Jeetendra
Manoj Kumar
Raaj Kumar
Rajendra Kumar
Sunil Dutt

Between them they made nealy 1200 movies. Starting today, I will post albums from their movies, probably one for each day. I happen to have CDs of most of this work, but may need occasional help. The Forum members have been gracefully great in cooperating. Thank you for all your suport. I am hoping I will continue to get similar support for this thread as well.

Now let us look at the individual filmographies of these actors ...

(Jeetendra) Geet Gaaya Pattharon Ne (1964)

Jeetendra made his debut with this Shantaram's musical. It has several beautiful numbers and one wonders why Ramlal gave music to only few Hindi films, that too only for Shantaram. I'm not sure how popular he was in Marathi movies.

By the way this story was a clever adaptation of a sculptor named "Jakkanna". Earlier this was made in Telugu as "Amara Shilpi Jakkanna". I will upload these songs later in this section.

I will upload songs from this musical in back-to-back two posts. Here is the first set of songs ...
