Singers and Tuneful Orchestra of Laxmikant-Pyarelal

                                    Singers and Tuneful Orchestra of Laxmikant-Pyarelal

Hindi Film Music was at its peak in the early sixties. All the big names of music directors like Shankar-Jaikishan, Naushad, O P Nayyar, Madan Mohan, S D Burman, Ravi, Roshan, Chitragupt etc were in full form. In the presence of all these BIG names, Laxmikant-Pyarelal made a banging start through Parasmani 1963. It was a huge musical hit. 


Laxmikant-Pyarelal used as many as four singers in their very first film. Lata Mangeshkar, Mohammad Rafi, Mukesh and Kamal Barot. The duo always have an upper hand in singer’s selection, right from the day one. Without any interference from the third party, mainly filmmakers and actors. Laxmikant-Pyarelal have always chosen the singers of their choice. 


A HISTORIC MOMENT OF HINDI FILM MUSIC WHEN FOUR SENSATIONAL SINGERS..Lata Mangeshkar, Mohammad Rafi, Kishore Kumar and Mukesh at a one stage for the FIRST and LAST time for the recording of the song from Manmohan Desai's "Amar Akbar Anthony" ..Hum Ko Tumse Ho Gaya Hai Pyar Kya Kare
Pyarelal, Subhash Desai, Laxmikant, Mohammad Rafi, Mukesh, Lata Mangeshkar, Kishore Kumar  and Manmohan Desai. 

 Long Lasting as well as Productive  Amalgamation / combo  


Total 160 numbers of singers (Both Male and Female) have rendered the songs under the music directors Laxmikant-Pyarelal, starting from 1963 to 1998.                                                                                                  


Lata - LP (712 songs), Rafi - LP (379 songs),  KK - LP (402 songs), Asha-LP (494 songs)


In the year 1963 /1964 itself, through the songs Parasmani, Sant Gyaneshwar, Sati Savitri, Hindi Film Music substantiated the inception of record breaking, longer, larger, closer and more rewarding association of Lata Mangeshkar and Laxmikant-Pyarelal. From 1963, to the next 35 years, Lata Mangeshkar and Laxmikant-Pyarelal were to chalk up an astounding 712 songs, of sheer variety and range. 


In the year 1964 emergence of two greatest combos of Hindi Film Music                                                  Laxmikant-Pyarelal and Mohammad Rafi, Dosti  as well as   

Laxmikant-Pyarelal with Kishore Kumar Mr X In Bombay.


In mid-sixty when Mohammad Rafi was on top position, without damaging the giant popularity of Rafi Sahab,  Laxmikant-Pyarelal gave all time hits songs to Kishore Kumar who was then passing through the lean period of his musical career. The songs include:-.


Mr X In Bombay 1964     Mere Mehboob Qayamat Hogi

Shreeman Fantoosh 1965     Ye Dard Bhara Afasana

Hum Sab Ustad Hain 1965     Ajanabi Tum Jane Pehachane

Pyar Kiye Jaa    1966          Din Jawani Ke Bar Bar Pyar Kiye Jaa


In the year 1967, Laxmikant-Pyarelal brought back the glory of singer Mukesh,  through the songs of Milan, Anita, Patthar Ke Sanam and Farz.


Mohammad Rafi’s majesty was restored by Laxmikant-Pyarelal through the songs of Naach Uthe Sansar 1976, Amar Akbar Anthony, Parvarish, Suhag  and Dharm Veer  1977,

Sargam 1978, without damaging the giant popularity of Kishore Kumar. 


Right from the year 1964,  Laxmikant-Pyarelal smartly maintained the balancing equation between two legendary singers Mohammad Rafi (379 songs) and Kishore Kumar (402 songs)

( The details can be read in a separate blog https://bit.ly/2ZeZRxk ).

Laxmikant-Pyarelal with Singers.


LATA MANGESHKAR

Lata Mangeshkar has sung the maximum number of songs, 712 numbers,  under the music directors Laxmikant-Pyarelal. It can be seen from the following table, Lata Mangeshkar's songs with the music directors.


Laxmikant Pyarelal    712     

Shankar Jaikishan     453     

R. D. Burman            327      

C. Ramchandra         298

Kalyanji Anandj          297

Chitragupta                240

Madan Mohan            210

S. D. Burman             182

Naushad                     155

Roshan                      146

               
                                     
                                                                                                                                                              LAXMIKANT-PYAREAL  with  LATA MANGESHKAR

Moreover Lata Mangeshkar sounds extremely melodious under Laxmikant-Pyarelal's giant, rich and mellifluous  orchestra arrangements. 


Lata Mangeshkar and Laxmikant-Pyarelal were a longer, larger, closer and more rewarding association that than what ANY composer has had with ANY singer in Hindi cinema


From 1963, to the next 35 years, Lata Mangeshkar and and Laxmikant-Pyarelal were to chalk up an astounding 712 songs together, which accounted for one in every 10 Hindi film songs recorded by the Melody Queen, and one of every four songs composed by the duo. The unmatchable variety of songs. 


And what a mind boggling variety and range did we get in those 712 numbers which included chart-slammers and classics, and chaalu numbers as well as connoisseur choices. It is impossible to find that variety and that sustained excellence without monotony in the output of any other composer, with Lata or with any other singer. 



There are many films in which Mangeshkar has sung more than 5 songs in the film.. See below the list ..sheer variety. 


Parasmani 1963

ASHA BHONSLE

It is a surprise figure even I was also stunned to know the numbers of songs sung by Asha Bhonsle under Laxmikant-Pyarelal….it is 494 ..There are many hidden GEMS of Asha Bhonsle under Laxmikant-Pyarelal, particularly in sixties and early seventies, including today’s sensational HIT “Hungama Ho Gaya”. “Loafer” (1973) has as many as three solo songs by Ashaji and all are great.

Excellent research work.LP composed such beautiful numbers for all the playback singers. The songs they tuned for new generation singers are milestones for their career.These are few of them-'ek do teen'by Alka yagnik,'hawa hawai' by Kavita Krishnamurti,'aaj kaal aur kuch yaad'by Md.Aziz',sari duniyaka bojh 'by Sabbir kumar,'main shayar to nahin'by Shailendra Singh,'saanjh dhale'by Suresh Wadkar,'so gaya yeh jahan'by Nitin Mukesh.Thanks a lot Mr.Poundarik for your tribute to Great and legendary composer duo Laxmikant Pyarelal.
With regards.
