I was searching for the author of a bajan record (78 rpm) by MS . On one side we have 'Rama milan ke' and on the reverse side 'maiyn nir guniya'. ..Vasantha Memorial page says that Rama mila bajan was taught to MS by Kamal DasGuptha. Is it possible that the lyrics and music were by him?

My apologies. I hope to rectify that from now on and be prompt as I can with my replies. Better late than never, as they say. And the comments on this post I particularly value since KD's music is very dear to me. So here goes:<br /><br />Ghulam: Yes, it is such a pity that so few people remember KD today. I hope this will soon change for the better.<br /><br />AKU: I have wondered too about who was behind yeh raaten yeh mausam-- and I won't be surprised if it was composed by KD with lyrics by FH. I have to do some digging. And I never knew that Kishore Kumar's Koi humdum na raha from Jhumroo was originally sung by Ashok Kumar for Jeevan naiyya.I may have some songs from Jeevan naiyya with me. I will see if I have it.<br /><br />P.Vijay: Your observation about KD is very apt. The Bengali version called Shesh Uttar is available commercially. Jawab is hard to come by. Do check on Torrent. I have only the songs with me, which I have already posted.

His songs were simple without huge background music but at the same time so very sweet, examples are all songs of Jawab of 1942. In particular, 'Toofan Mail'. There is no parallel to this song today. It is most unfortunate a good video copy of this song is not available. I would like to see the film, Jawab, but I do not know how to get it.P.

Kamal Dasgupta's contribution is enormous if you consider all the non-film geets and ghazals of Hemant Kumar, Talat Mahmood, Juthika Roy. In many Geets - I prefer this term to the commonly used 'private song', Kamal Dasgupta and Faiyaz Hashmi worked in tandem. On Faiyaz Hashmi I found more material on the internet, thanks to a Pakistani enthusiast. While at this, I always wondered who the lyricist and the composer were of Pankaj Mallik's immortal Ye raatein ye mausam ye hansna hansaana. Could it be the the Faiyaz Hashmi - Kamal Dasgupta tandem? <br /><br />I I have been looking for the original version of Kishore Kumar's Koi humdum na raha (Jhumroo), which is said to be sung by Ashok Kumar in Jeevan Naiya (1936), composed by Saraswati Devi. Would be grateful if anyone having it posts it.AKUhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14224635080797347250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2218366369477617662.post-4863953939477961862010-02-06T03:16:24.837-08:002010-02-06T03:16:24.837-08:00I take this opportunity to thank you for coming up...I take this opportunity to thank you for coming up with such a valuable page to salute such a great composer who is remembered by so few these days.
