Bablu-da along with Ashish were the last arrangers of Burman Dada. Bablu ji tells about Maruti Rao how devoted he was to Burman Dada and later to son RDB too that he never worked for anyone else.
About Dada's singing he says: Dada gaana jab gaate the, to bahut devoted jisko bolte hain, waisa gaate the. Hamesha koi bhi gaana gaate the, aankh band karke hi gaate the. Maine bhi dekha hai, kyon ki maine bhi unke saath kaafi picture ka kaam kiya hai, as a violist aur baad mein arranger. Burman Sahib, gaane ke baad jab aankh kholte the, to saamne waale log ek hi baat bol sakte the, ‘It’s a mind-blowing song’. Yeh hi bolte the sab log. Burman Sahib gaana gaate-gaate, gaane ke andar ghus jaate the, kho jaate the!
In Part Two of this interview Bablu ji tells us, how Dada used to rehearse his composed song with the singer before recording the song. Dada would sing asking the singer to sing along to train the singer how he wanted the song to be sung.During one such rehearsal when Kishore Kumar had come to The Jet bungalow for rehearsing 'Badi sooni sooni hai' from Mili (1975), there was so much pathos in Dada's voice that Kishore Kumar broke down and could not continue. He left saying that he was not ready for the recording as yet, and would intimate when he was ready.
