Shankar Jaikishan: Tum Haseen Main Jawan (1970)

Tum Haseen Main Jawan

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

  1. I'm already grooving on 'Aap Ko Pahle Bhi' ... I think it's better than you're giving it credit for!

  4. PC,

    Jaikishan 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 !!!.

  8. 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.
