Yahooo…… And Shammi Kapoor arrived in the Psyche of the Indian Audiences with a Bang! His Style of Music stood apart from all that had been heard before.

One is, the Up-beat, Peppy, Fast, Zippy tracks which each Music Director who worked with him embellished with his own particular preference….. So the beatsy Punjabi Dholaks come with O P Nayyar.
