OP Nayyar

This was a music director who always made tunes that were peppy, and had a great sense of rhythm. I am going to list out a few of his compositions, which may prove the point. He was also known for using Asha Bhosle a lot more than other female singers, and some of her great songs of the pre-RD Burman era were the ones she sang for him as music director. Ok, enough of the lecture. Now the demo.

1. Piya piya piya mora jiya pukare ..this is a delightful duet (Kishore Kumar at his yodeling best, and Asha Bhosle). The typical hoofbeat rhythm which you find in many of Nayyar's songs appears in this too.

2.  Pukarta chala hoon main. This is another of his songs that is still a favourite of many. Mohammad Rafi is the singer.
