Heartfelt tribute to the Master craftsman, having such a unique musical sense to combine effortlessly western and Indian folk, and classical music. Boss was and continues to remain ahead of time, and hence staying relevant to today’s music domain.
In today’s Hindusthan Times Chaitanya Padukone has published an excellent article outlining why RD Burman’s music continues to appeal to the younger generation.
I totally agree with him on this,
“RD, the ‘rebel-utionary’ composer-singer, who was fondly called ‘boss’ by his team of extraordinary musicians, left behind a trailblazing rich repertoire of his timeless tunes. Some of which have inspired myriad remixes, that continue to enthrall the millennial youth and mesmerise the middle-aged alike. Testimony to RDB’s evergreen songs is evident in the Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani (1972) song recreated in Karan Johar’s movie, Student of The Year 2, retaining the ‘gili-gili-akkha’ scat-phrases. More recently, Burman Jr’s racy romantic track Humne Tumko Dekha (1975) was recycled by Google as their commercial jingle! After so many decades, mind-boggling sounds (like ‘wakaao’) and hook lines of chartbuster RDB-songs still command instant recall.”
