Magic of Shankar Jaikishan-a live recording.wmv

Shanker Singh Raghuvansi and Jaikishan Dayabhai Panchal revolutionize the Indian Hindi film music scene when they started giving music as Shankar Jaikishan from film Barsat with Hasrat Jaipuri and Shailendra as lyrics writer in early fifties. They kept melody in their compositions alongwith fast rythem and grand orchestrization. Most of the songs they composed are part of the Hindi film music history. Naushad had called them "Magician and not musician". Such was the impact of their music that film after film became hit on shear good music. In th clip you can see how their electric fingers move on harmonium.
Raj Kapoor played a very vital role in bringing this team together.
Dattaram ji who himself was a great composer used to play dholak with the team and was assistant to Shankar Jaikishan.
Their team had Sebestian D'souza as the arranger whose contribution was immense to the team.
Kindly see & pay your tributes to the team.
with regards
Shiv Shanker
