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 ... This post has been edited by swarapriya: Dec 24 2009, 10:41 PM Attached image(s) |

She has to wait for another eight years to grow up before she got an opportunity to play a lead role in Hrishida's "Guddi". But its not Jaya who stole the show. It was the singing of a new plaback singer named Vani Jairam that was the talk of the town. Vani, a classical Carnatic singer by training, was giving a public performance when she was spotted by Vasant Desai, the music director. He was about to compose music for "Guddi" and signed Vani immediately to sing all three songs for the movie. Vani became an overnight sensation and a celebrity with these songs, especially for that unforgettable song "Bol Re Papeehara". The song was based on a Hindustani raga, Miyan Malahar, and Vani's classical training background immensely helped in singing the song. It is one of those songs that seem to stay with you forever. Jairam was recognized for her great singing with several awards. She received The Lions International Best Promising Singer Award, The All India Cine Goers Association Award, The All India Film-goers Association Award, and the Tansen Sammaan Award. In the years to come she won even more accolades; among them three times The Best Singer National Award. Here are the three sweet and melodious songs from the pleasing voice of Vani ...
