One of moderate interest only I think. 'Aap Ko Pahle Bhi' has some cool Hindi/rock'n'roll mash-up bits, 'Chheenk Meri Jan' has sneezes and a nice syncopated rhythm, but that's about it for me. I can't recall when Shankar Jaikishan called it a day, but I suspect 'Tum Haseen Main Jawan' [review] was made just past their prime... I'm not aware of very many good scores by them from the 70s or beyond.
Track listing:
1. Asha Bhosle & Mohd. Rafi: Aap Ko Pahle Bhi
2. Suman Kalyanpur: Kamdev Jaesi
3. Mohd. Rafi: Chehra Tera Allah Allah
4. Kishore Kumar & Pankaj: Munne Ki Amma
5. Asha Bhosle: Chheenk Meri Jan
6. Mohd. Rafi: Dil Achha Hai

ReplyDeleteI'm already grooving on 'Aap Ko Pahle Bhi' ... I think it's better than you're giving it credit for!
ReplyDeleteCool :-) I don't think it's bad at all, I just like many of their other ones better.

Awesome awesome awesome !!!!!!! Thanks a lot ! One of the greatest Hema Malini and Dharmendra movie with songs even greater. Great composition by Shankar Jaikishan !
ReplyDeletePC,
ReplyDeleteJaikishan died in September 1971 at only 39 years of age, and from that point onwards, S-J's music was pretty much over (despite Shankar's great solo efforts after). Had Jai lived, S-J would have continued to be a force in the 70's as well. Regardless of that, S-J still have many nice albums in the 70's, some of which are:
Mera Naam Joker
Jawan Mohabbat
Andaz
Dharti
Naina
Patanga
Aankhon Aankhon Mein
Lal Patthar
Thanks for THMJ, much appreciated !!!.
such a fun film, thanks for this!!!!!
ReplyDeleteand actually "Cheenk Meri Jaan" would make it to a post on songs picturized on Miss Helen. She is very cute, sneezing all over the club patrons!
ReplyDeleteI'm addicted now to your blog.
ReplyDeleteSounds cool! Unfortunately, not to be found on YouTube :-(

Just to add to my earlier post, when I said S-J's music was pretty much "over" when Jai passed away, I meant even though Shankar produced great music on his own after, it wasn't the same as before.
ReplyDeleteNice to see you back PC , hope the vacation/break was good
