An MD whose body of work in HFM and in Indian music is not very prolific, features in this song: Kanu Ghosh. Probably, his two greatest claims to fame are, first, he was conductor of the Bombay AIR choir in the 50s, 60s and 70s(?), and second, he was a close associate and assistant MD to SalilC in many movies. A Website even credits him for composing the soundtrack of Anand(1970) http://www.dvd.reviewer.co.uk/reviews/artists.asp?Index=9457 However, he was also an MD in his own right. In the four songs composed by Kanu Ghosh that I have heard, there is no shade of influence of SalilC. In Bengali, he has composed two songs by Geeta Dutt "ektu chaaoaa aar ektu paaoaa/sonaay Dheke anga", both penned by SalilC. His credits as MD in HFM are limited to two films in the late 50s. Naya Zamana (1957) and Pyar ki Rahen (1959). A song from Naya Zamana by Lata, from Rajan Parrikar's online artcle: http://www.sawf.prohosting.com/bhimpalasi/lata_kahanjate.ram A list of Kanu Ghosh's composed HFM songs is available at: http://www.ultraindia.com/movies/filmography/musicfilmography.php4?na=Kanu%20Ghosh&choice=2 "Pyar ki Rahen" features a Mukesh song, that is commercially available "do roz me vo pyaar ka aalam". The site www.singermukesh.com lists this song under "one hit MD-s for Mukesh", because this song seems to be the only instance KanuG-Mukesh worked together. Its the same case for Hemant too. Hemant and KanuG worked together only on this one duet...a parting song between the male and female characters in the movie, with the background music conveying the beats of some sort of a transport...the rhythmic clatter of a train, or the hoof-beats of a horse(carriage). -Prithviraj A link to the song... http://ww.smashits.com/associates/bollywoodworld/index.cfm?Page=Audio&SubPage=ShowTracks&AlbumID=23 \startsong \stitle{tum se duur chale} \film{Pyaar ki Raahen} \starring{Pradeep Kumar, Anita Guha} \year{1959} \singer{Hemant, Lata} \music{Kanu Ghosh} \lyric{Prem Dhawan} % %Contributor: Prithviraj Dasgupta %Transliterator: Prithviraj Dasgupta %Date: April 14, 2002 %Availablity: Legends Hemant Kumar 5 CD set, CD 3 % \printtitle #indian he: tum se duur chale ham majabuur chale pyaar bhare dil mil na sake niil gagan ke tale niil gagan ke tale \threedots la: naa teraa Kataa naa merii Kataa ye hai.n qisamat kii khel he: tum bhii chaaho ham bhii chaahe.n ho na sake par mel la: mai.n majabuur hu_ii tumase duur hu_ii ruuThii hu_ii taqadiir ke aage kisakaa zor chale kisakaa zor chale \threedots he: sukh chain gayaa aramaa.N luuTe is pyaar kii raaho.n me.n la: o priit merii o miit mere Dhal ga_e aaho.n me he: tum bin rah na sakuu.N par kuchh kah na sakuu.N la: lok laaj ke ghuu.nghaT me ro ro ko_ii jale ro ro ko_ii jale \threedots #endindian \endsong
