Pandit Shiv Kumar Sharma on Dada S.D. Burman 

@ Devashish Pandey, Dada ke baare mein jitna kahiye, kam hai. Itne mahaan insaan thay ki bayaan karna mushkil hai. Hamaare 150 se zyaada RU-vid par videos hain. Dekh leejiyega. Comments ke liye shukriya. Dhanyawad.

Nirmalkumar Phophalia He was very humble. As they say, he was like a tree which bears more fruit and leans down even more in humility.

crazyoldsongs Dada S.D. Burman has many admirers all over the world, including Pakistan and Bangladesh. Once, when writer Javed Akhtar asked me what was one most important reason that I had liked his music so much? My reply, "Dada Burman's music always remained young". All other music directors faded away in their old age, but he was in demand and his music remained young till his last days".

@ Rahul Kumar, In our times SD Burman has been a great human beings in addition to being one of the best composers.

Moti Lalwani I read your book. It’s really good.

@robert sapam True for SD Burman.

Archisman Mozumdar, Thanks for the encouragement. Dada Burman's graceful acts towards both Shiv Kumar Sharma and Madan Mohan show his greatness. By the way Shiv Kumar ji has clarified in a mail to me through his secretary that it was an earlier film 'Heer Ranjha' (1970) for which Dada Burman had driven to Madan Mohan's residence on Peddar Road in Mumbai (then Bombay).

Dada I always love S. D.burman da and pancham da.unko sune bina nind nahi aati muje

Drum lession for beginner Bahut khoob. :)

v balaji Very true. As per Vijay Anand's interview posted on Facebook in 'S.D.Burman (Sachin Dev Burman Fan Club)' group, several music directors used to approach him for advice to improve their songs before recording.

Pranab Kumar Biswas bhai, It is very true what you write about Dada Burman. He was a wonderful singer, a geat composer, and left his luxuries to pursue his love for music.

@Ghalib Mahmud Laskar, Bimal Roy wanted SD Burman Dada to compose music of Madhumati. Dada was busy, so he suggested Salil Chowdhury’s adding that Salil would do a good job. Bimal Roy agreed on the condition that Dada would the tunes. As per Salil Chowdhury’s interview Dada suggested minor changes. In ‘Suhana safar’ song Dada suggested to add chirping of birds. Even though Dada and Lata were not working together, it was Dada who asked Salil to take Lata for female songs.

@Gautam Nath, Excellent SD and his music.

@Parisienne Moonlight, SD Burman was born in Tripura, but he belongs to India, Bangladesh and the entire world wherever his fans are. Are you aware what he wrote at the end of his autobiography?

@@lalwanimoti well its clear you didn't understand the comment. I never said he is not Indian nor his music is for certain people. It's to those ppl who are spreading wrong information about him being a Bengali. By the way do you even know who are the original people of Tripura?

Yes Parisienneji I read somewhere that Legendary SD Burman could speak Manipuri quite fluently because his mother was a Manipuri who was the Daughter of Royal King of Manipur.🙏

@@ghalibmahmudlaskar5980 , Yes, that’s right.

dharmendra vyas Thank you, Dharmendra Vyas ji.

@Anjana ji, Comments ke liye shukriya.

Amit S, You are right. Later, when we met Madan Mohan's son Sanjeev Kohli, he clarified that Burman Dada landed in their house after listening to 'Heer Ranjha' songs, and he was the one who had opened the door. This was conveyed by me to Pt Shiv Kumar Sharma ji. As regards Dastak, it is in one of our recorded interviews where one of the musicians told us in a recorded interview that one day Dada called up Madan Mohan in his presence to compliment him that his song, 'Hum hain mataaye koocha' from Dastak was very superb.

Thanks for clarifying, Sir!

Welcome.

@Rajashri Manna, Not clear please. Why not Pancham what?
