The Micro View of Songs of 1943 – MY Top Music Director(s)

As has been repeatedly noted in My Best Solo Male Singers, or Female Singers or Duets, my own choices are basically too inadequate to enable help form any basis for selecting My Top Music Director for the year 1943.

The beacon image @ the Overview post, shows four films – Kismet (Music: Anil Biswas), Tansen (Khemchand Prakash), Ram Rajya (Shankar Rao Vyas) and Wapas (Music: R C Boral).  The point table of Best Songs of music directors @ @ Best songs of 1943: Wrap Up 4 also reflects this image.

Of these four, songs of Wapas has all the flair of vintage songs. In all possibilities, these songs must have immediately been lapped up by the then fans of music of that era. However, being too closely molded on the style of vintage era, the songs have not been able to transcend its footprint the subsequent Golden Era.

So is the case with Ram Rajya.

Tansen has five solo songs by the evergreen K L Saigal as well as one duet with Khursheed. Khursheed also has three solo songs. That itself gives Tansen a head start. The film itself may not appeal a typical Golden Era films follower like me, but the orchestration of the songs by Khemchand Prakash ensures that the songs remain equally appealing as the songs of later years of 1940s- the transition years from vintage to golden era.

Even if we discount the fervent following that Ab Himalay Ki Choti Se can bring up now, other songs have undeniable impact on the Golden Era followers even if the singers are prominently vintage era singers. Undoubtedly, the credit should vest Anil Biswas fro his path breaking music composition style.

So even as SoY adjudges Khemchand Prakash as The Music Director for the year 1943, on the basis of four to two advantage in the point table of Best Songs of music directors @ @ Best songs of 1943: Wrap Up 4, I would rather choose to remain neutral between Khemchand Prakash and Anil Biswas as My Top Music Directors for the year 1943.

The Micro View of Songs of 1943 – The Duets – MY Top Duet Songs

The first observation that comes up after the Micro Review of the Duets is that number of duets is large for the year 1943 than the normal. This is corroborated the statistics provided in the overview post of SoY – Duets occupy a 31.44% (172 out of total 547 songs) share of the total songs for which the singers are identified in HFGK.

However, out of these 172 duet songs I have been able to capture only 60 odd songs in the Micro View and SoY has taken note of 27 duets in the Memorable Songs of 1943. This makes it just half of the total population, too less for any meaningful objective study! Moreover, of the 60 duets in the Micro View, two male singers have 8 (Arun Kumar) and 6 (G M Durrani) with two or three other singers having more than one duets. That would leave almost a third of the duets with only by any given pair of singers.

With so larger proportion of one duet per pair, our practice of covering such single songs in the list of the songs that I liked during the first listening would make the list too long, and yet so incomplete. So, I will dispense with this practice for the year.

The rest of the songs that I have chosen here again have my own subjective choice, thereby rendering the entire list as being too inadequate and subjective to be classifies ‘Top Duets’ for year. So, to order some semblance to the content of the present list, I have heavily drawn from the songs included in Special Songs and Best Ten Duets of 1943 from Best songs of 1943: Wrap Up 3

Here are MY choices of duets of 1943, in the alphabetical order of name of te film-

I, personally endorse the statement.

The Micro View of Songs of 1943 – Female Solo Songs – MY Top Female Solo Songs

The process of selecting the TOP song / singer for the year 1943 is absolutely subjective, since most of the songs I had got to hear for the first time. In any case, from the point of view of my limited knowledge and basic taste in so far as the vintage era songs, I could not find any other method.

I have not repeated here those singers whose only one solo song could come up during the Micro Analysis.

So, here are the songs that would call for MY TOP slot from the female solo Songs for 1943, in the order in which the singer has appeared in the detailed Micro View earlier.:

Now we have the long tail of the Micro view of the Solo Songs of Female Singers for the year 1943.

Here are some instances wherein only solo song of the respective solo singer was available on YT.

One solo song of K Sundarama –  Ek bewafa se pyar kiya, haye kya kiya – Duniya Diwani – Arshad Gujarati – K Narayana Rao is covered in Memorable Songs of 1943. Another song from this film – Ummid Nahi Vasl Se Dilshad Karenge  –  could not be located on YT.

Anjali Devi – Ye Kaisa Hai Dharm Tumhara, Ye Kaisa Insaan – Age Kadam – Kailash Matwala – Master Madahv Lal / Ramchandra Pal (?)

Kalyani – KyoN Dil Mila Hamara Tumara Jawaab Do – Kaushish – ? – Basheer Dehalavi

These solo songs  –Manua kaahe phir tadapaye – Binota Roy (lyrics Akhtar Chugtai), Albela mastana ek hans ka joda – Suprova Sarkar (lyrics Pt. Bhushan). Jeevan hai bekar bina tumhare – Unidentified female singer (Wapas, Music: RC Boral) are covered in Memorable Songs of 1943.

For several female singers, like Mumtaj Shanti (Badalti Duniya  – 3 songs), Shanta Apte (Duhai – 2 songs), Gauhar Sultana (Ishara – 3 songs), Ramola (Manchali 3 songs), Aarti Bose and Dina Gandhi – 1 solo each and one song with chorus that of Dina Gandhi (Paraya Dhan), are could not be traced.

And, there could be even some more which in spite of being known and being available on YT, may not have been noticed by me during this Micro Analysis of Solo Songs of 1943., mainly because of inadequate knowledge of the vintage era Hindi film songs.
