S.D. Burman: Sharmilee (1971)

Sharmilee

It's been ages since I've posted Sachin Dev Burman, so two of his next, both excellent. They're in fact as much Rahul Dev Burman as they are S.D. though; apparently Burman sr. wasn't very fond of the 'modern' sounds increasingly being implemented into Bollywood music, so instead he called on his son to help out when songs in such a vein were required. Which they must have been on 'Sharmilee' [review].

'Reshmi Ujala Hai' (my fave) is pure R.D.; cool jazzy beats, guitars, tempo changes, a sexy Asha Bhosle vocal – magic! 'Megha Chhaye Adhi Raat' is gorgeous Indian pop, alternating between modern and traditional. 'O Meri Sharmilee' is bouncy and fun, 'Khilte Hain Gul Yahan' (I like Lata's version best) is lovely - in short, a keeper!

Track listing:
1. Kishore Kumar: Khilte Hain Gul Yahan
2. Lata Mangeshkar: Megha Chhaye Adhi Raat
3. Kishore Kumar: O Meri Sharmilee
4. Kishore Kumar: Kaise Kahen Hum
5. Lata Mangeshkar: Khilte Hain Gul Yahan
6. Asha Bhosle: Reshmi Ujala Hai
7. Kishore Kumar & Lata Mangeshkar: Aaj Madhosh Hua Jaye

  1. Hey pc,

    What's going on with divshare?

    I've downloaded ALL the great albums so far from you but the last 3 just won't work, the page just sticks on divshare and it won't open up the download box :(

    This is really frustrating as I really want to carry on collecting these albums.

    Any ideas???

    Thanks

  2. Have you tried the 'If your download doesn't start momentarily, click here' link? That usually works for me when it sticks.

  7. There's a little box on teh right-hand side of the Divshare page that says "link" right above it. If you copy the url in that box into your browser window, if works fine.
