"I remember, a 13-14 year old boy, wearing khaki shorts
and a white shirt had come to take my autograph. I remember, I was recording a
song with S D Burman sahab when the small boy came and Burman dada told me he
was his son - Pancham...and that he is learning to play sarod. This was the
first time I had met Pancham!"
This is what Lata Mangeshkar said in one of her interviews
about RD.
As compared to Asha, RD had a different - & I think
almost reverential kind of - relationship with Lata. It reflects in the kind of
songs he chose her voice for - songs which manage to somehow slip in right
through to your soul. From his first movie "Chhote Nawab" to his swan
song "1942 - A Love story" - she was there - at a number of
milestones through this journey.
With Lata Mangeshkar's birthday coming up later this week, I
would like to continue showcasing some more compositions where RD & Lata
are sheer magic to the ears.
Let me start by this song - picturised on Saira Banu -
looking so sensuously beautiful in what to me is one of her best ever
performances, and the combination of Lata-RD radiates the youthfulness in a
manner that makes you want to fall in love with her. No wonder Sunil Dutt does
so.
