Laxmikant–Pyarelal: Difference between revisions

| name = Laxmikant Pyarelal

In their early days, Laxmikant–Pyarelal's music was very similar to [[Shankar-Jaikishan]]'s music, as Laxmikant was a great fan of theirs. Once Shankar even changed his orchestration to make sure that his music did not sound like Laxmikant–Pyarelal's. {{citation needed|date=March 2013}} Laxmikant–Pyarelal's first film as music directors was not released. The first released movie which featured them as music directors was [[Babubhai Mistry]]'s ''[[Parasmani]]'' (1963), which was a costume drama. All the songs of the film became immensely popular, esp. "Hasata Hua Nurani Chehara", "Wo Jab Yaad Aaye" and "Mere Dil Main Halki Si". Throughout their tenure as music directors, Laxmikant–Pyarelal only used A-grade singers. Their mentors, [[Lata Mangeshkar]] and [[Mohammad Rafi]] agreed to sing for them in spite of low budgets, and Laxmikant–Pyarelal always remained indebted to them. In fact, all three, Lata, Mohammad Rafi and Asha Bhosle have sung the highest number of songs in their career for Laxmikant–Pyarelal. They continued to give patronage to Mohammed Rafi, sometimes against filmmakers' wishes. They had a great rapport with Kishore Kumar as well. Kishore Kumar sang the most songs (402) for L-P among all male singers, followed by Rafi (about 388 songs).{{Citation needed|date=April 2010}}
