There is a lot that has been written, said and explored about the combination of Gulzar & R D.
I wonder why, the same importance has not been given to another combination - that of R D with Anand Bakshi.
In fact, for the statistically inclined, the number of movies which RD did with Anand Bakshi were almost 4 times of what RD & Gulzar did. Qualitatively also, the songs created by RD & AB together were as superlative, if not more.
For example, this song from Kati Patang. The musical arrangement consisted largely of Piano, with lovely prelude before Kishore makes this song his own:
Suno kisi shaayar ne ye, Kaha bahot khub
Manaa kare duniyaan lekin, mere mehaboob
Woh chhalak jaataa hai jo, paimaanaa hotaa hai
Har khushee se, har gam se, begaanaa hotaa hai....
