Rahul Dev Burman was considered as one of the best mouth organ player.
Even
though he was not the music director of DOSTI (Laxmikant Pyarelal
were), he
played the instrument for all the Rafi songs. Earlier, he had played
it for
his father's composition: Hai Apna Dil To Awara / SOLVA SAAL

se bachna zara.
Who were the people involved?
There is one more similar song involving Pradeep Kumar, a small baby
(Daisy Rani?) and the heroine (I dont remember). Sequence is something
like PK teasing the girl under the pretext of in the form of advising
the child. What were the movie and the song?
Aside, every decade, a particular instrument had been used more. Like
banjo in the early movies of the late fifties; bangos or treble cangoes
in the sixties (particulary in the so called night club songs and
sequences and for fight sequences) which gave place slowly to drums in
the seventies. Piano was very heavily used till the late seventies in
songs.

The movie is Quaidi No 911 (Music: Datta Ram, 1959). Nanda and Daisy
Irani lyp-synched the song. The song is in two versions: fast and slow.
Both versions of the song were sung by Lata with Daisy Irani providing
her own voice for spoken words.

Thanx. I remember now, the movie was remade by Modern Theatres in Tamil
and the songs were retained per se. Daisy Rani was also there.
Aahhaaa. As I am typing this one, suddenly it flashed across my mind.
The oher song I was referring was perhaps, Aankhon se bharosa mat kar
with Pradeep Kumar and Daisy Rani (child) a heroine, I dont remember.
That has mouth organ interludes. Can somebody confirm and provide more
details?
Thanx.

The opening song of Aaradhana, "mere sapnon ki" has lot of MO
interludes. Very beautifully used by SDB alongwith piano accordian also
providing the chords
In fact, looking back on all these songs, it looks like, whenever the
song was presumably young, eneregetic kinda of composition, perhaps MO
was preferred by MDs. (Ofcourse, the original thread of AB's playing
on MO was different). Is it?
