Divya Unny Friday, June 27, 2008: (Mumbai): With his pulse on the beat of the nation and a unquie musical mind, composer R D Burman changed the sound of music from the 60s' onwards. Friday is Panchamda's 69th birth anniversary and the film industry's leading composers are lining up to pay tribute. "Gulzaar saab always told me some bizarre tales of Burman da's way of making music and it was this eccentricity in him that made him unique," said Shankar Mahadevan, music composer. >From the foot tapping numbers of *Teesri Manzil *to the sensuous rhythms of *Hare Rama Hare Krishna* and the effervescent melody of *Ijaazat*, R D Burman's style created created a musical revolution. Many of his best loved compositions were sung by his wife the incomparable Asha Bhosle. The remix revolution of Panchamda's numbers by the likes of Bally Sagoo, DJ Aqeel and others only proves RD Burman's ageless appeal and composer duo Vishal-Shekhar have gone back to his music in *Jhankaat Beats*. They are again set to pay him another tribute. "We are doing this film *Bachna Ae Haseeno *where there is a modern version of RD Burman's song *Bachna Ae Haseenon*. It has been sung by Kishore Kumar's son and it is our second tribute to him," said Vishal Dadlani, music composer. "His songs were lovely and I think every budding composer should gain inspiration from his music," said music maestro A R Rahman. -- regards, Vithur HELP EVER; HURT NEVER; LOVE ALL; SERVE ALL
