The greatest muscian of Indian Music. Once Laxmi kant & Pyarwelal have said that at his best R.D. is the greatest. Even A. R. Rehman besides all other present muscians is a great fan of RD.

All I can say is that we Indians should be proud for having such a great composer who has given us fantastic melodies. 3 cheers to the timeless musician of all times..!!

A good collection, but one correction. Chadhti Jawaani was sung by Lata not Asha

I'm very surprized that in all the RD lists that have been posted here nobody has mentioned 'kuch to log kehenge' ,'main shayar badnam' and 'chala jata hoon'. The first one i guess is arguably Kishore kumar's song of the lifetime. As for 'chala jata hoon' it is one of the most unique compositions by RD, as well as in Hindi film music.
Another thing that I would like to point out is that everyone has pretty much stuck to more popular chartbusters by RD, whereas some of his less popular songs are even more fascinating.On the top of my head I can think of numerous such songs but will mention only a few. for ppl who have not listened to these....my suggestion is do so without wasting any more time:
1. Pehla Pehla Pyar na bhule (majdoor)
2. Ghunroo ki awaaz (title song)
3. Chand roz (sitamgar)
4. Phirte Hain kab se (duniya)
5. Main awaara hi sahi ( anand aur anand-incidentally was abhijeet's first recording)
6. Yaaro hamara kya (abhilasha)
7. koi shama shishe ka(nikamma)
8. maine kaha tha(aamne samne)
...one can go on and on...so just check these out for a starter.
regards,
