Remembering Master Musician SD Burman On 112 Birth Anniversary
Sachin Dev Burman was one of the few musicians who we can truly call the architects of the golden era of Hindi film music. Apart from being a prince and a master composer, SD Burman was gifted with a unique voice that was as lilting as any other singer working under his baton.

India has seen many celebrated music directors till date but no one could churn out as soulful tunes as Sachin Dev Burman. He composed music for over 100 movies in Hindi and Bengali. His songs spoke of a Bengali folk influence, with light semi-classical tunes, which made the songs full of life and so soothing!
He was the only music composer who worked with both Kishore Kumar and Mohammed Rafi, two of the greatest singers of India, in almost an equal number of songs. Some of his classics include 'Kora Kagaz Tha Yeh Man Mera', 'Chanda Hain Tu Mera Suraj Hain Tu', 'Badi Sooni Sooni' etc. Born to royalty (his father was from the royal family of Tripura and his mother was from the Manipur royal family), SD Burman was a prince like none other. His collaborations with Guru Dutt and Dev Anand, with Lata Mangeshkar, Talat Mehmood and later Kishore Kumar have resulted in some of the best songs the Hindi film industry has ever produced.
On his 112th birth anniversary, let us look at songs that define the illustrative career of the legend.
#1. Jaane Woh Kaise Log Thhe - Pyaasa: When you combine the music of SD Burman, the words of Sahir Ludhianvi and the voice of Hemanta Mukherjee, this is what you get.
#2. Chhod Do Aanchal - Paying Guest: Kishore Kumar and Asha Bhonsle creating magic with the tunes of SD Burman and the words of Majrooh Sultanpuri.
#3. Mana Janaab Ne Pukara Nahin - Paying Guest: With a composer like Sachin Dev Burman and lyricist like Majrooh Sultanpuri, one can expect nothing but melody at its sweetest.
#4. Tadbeer Se Bigdi Hui - Baazi Some might say this is an unusual song on this list. Well, that's because it is. SD Burman used a ghazal written by Sahir Ludhianvi and turned it into a sensual club song. Ludhianvi wasn't too happy about it, but the gamble paid off. The song was a hit.
#5. Sar Jo Tera Chakraye - Pyaasa: The melancholy of this Guru Dutt film desperately needed a light song the audience could hum along to even after the film. Once again, SD Burman delivered.
#6. Ek Ladki Bheegi Bhaagi Si - Chalti ka Naam Gaadi: This was inspired by Tennesse Ernie Ford's 'Sixteen Tonnes', but SD Burman managed to add his own touch to it.
