RD
Burman
is
not
just
a
name.
It's
a
sentiment!
While
the
celebrated
singer-music
composer
was
known
more
for
his
peppy
tunes,
he
could
at
the
same
time
come
up
with
soothing
soul-stirring
numbers.
Be
it
the
trippy
'Oh
Haseena
Zulfoonwaali' or
the
classic
'Iss
Mod
Se
Jaate
Hain',
this
is
a
RD
Burman
song
for
every
emotion.
What's
brilliant
is
that
he
never
feared
to
experiment
and
introduced
influences
from
all
over
the
world
in
his
works.
On
his
79th
birth
anniversary
today,
we
take
you
on
a
trip
down
the
memory
lane
and
reveal
few
lesser
known
facts
about
him-
The
First
One
To
Get
Everyone
Groovy
He
was
the
first
one
to
use
electronic
organ
in
Indian
films
with
the
popular
song
O
Mere
Sona
Re from
the
Shammi
Kapoor
starrer
Teesri
Manzil.
The
next
time

yourself
grooving
to
this
song,
you
know
whom
to
thank
to!
They
Don't
Make
Genius
Like
Him
Anymore
He
composed
the
song
'Kancha
Re
Kancha
Re'
from
Hare
Rama
Hare
Krishna
entirely
in
a
dream.
Creativity
At
Its
Best
It
is
said
that
he
was
so
fond
of
the
titter-tatter
of
raindrops
that
during
monsoons,
he
would
often
sat
on
the
window
sill
for
hours
just
to
record
the
sound
of
rain.
He
actually
used
glasses
and
spoons
to
get
that
tinkering
note
for
the
iconic
'Chura
Liya
Hain
Tumne' song.
How
He
Got
His
Nickname
'Pancham'!
Legendary
actor
Ashok
Kumar
once
heard
him
wailing
as
a
toddler
and
uttering
the
syllable
Pa
repeatedly.
He
nicknamed
RD
Burman
as
'Pancham'.
This
Is
Mindblowing
RD
Burman
composed
his
first
song
'Aye
Meri
Topi
Palat'
merely
at
the
age
of
9
which
was
later
used
by
his
father
in
Funtoosh
(1956).
Even
the
famous
song
'Sar
Jo
Tera
Chakraaye'
was
composed
by
him
as
a
kid.
