Celebrating R D Burman’s Birthday, Listening To Get-Wet Rainy Songs!
By Chaitanya Padukone
Versatile genius Bollywood composer-singer Rahul Dev Burman ( Pancham-Da) whose 83rd birth anniversary is being globally observed today by millions of his loyal Indian and NRIs fans, (on 27th June) loved the rainy season.
Maestro sangeetkaar R D Burman (Pancham-da) whom I knew personally very well, for ten years was very fond of gazing at the rains and even recording the pitter-patter soundsof the drops and sounds of the thunder . The innovative RDB had composed some of the most haunting yet foot-tapping songs dedicated to ‘sizzling romance-drenched-in-the-rains.’
Here are the Favorite Five RDB composed romantic rainy songs :
1)Ab Ke Saawan ( ‘Jaise Ko Taisa’); 2) Bheegi Bheegi Raaton Mein ( ‘Ajnabee’)
3) Rim Jhim Rim Jhim ( ‘1942-A Love Story’); 4) Baadal Yun Garajta
Hai (‘Betaab’) ; 5) Rim Jhim Gire Saawan ( ‘Manzil’).
