I salute the father of Music and also the father of my school friend. I am indeed saddened by the news and pray that God give courage to my dear friend and her family members to bear the loss of a loved one.
I am a fan of the great music composer Naushad. His tenure of over 60 hindi movies with more than 50% jubilee hits speaks volumes about the popularity of his music. We need no words to describe popularity of his music. His adroitness in harnessing the best out of the greatest singers like K. L. Saigal, Mohammad Rafi, Talat Mehmood, Manna Dey, Mukesh, Noor Jahan, Suraiya, Shamshad Begum, Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhosale etc. was unparallel. His tunes based on Indian folk songs simply penetrate our hearts whenever we hear these sweet songs. His bhajans of Baiju Bawara are on the top of Himalayas. The greatest tribute the legendry music composer would be restricting re-mixes of his creations in twisted forms, with dancers on screen minus textiles!!!!!!
