Today is Jaidev's death anniversary. He is  one  MD  who  doesn't
generate  much  discussion  on  this  forum  (NG),  for  whatever
reasons. I have also not included any of his songs, in  ATMJH  so
far,  as  he  didn't  do many films in 1950s (And for that matter
even in 1960s: Ham Dono, Kinare Kinare, Muze Jeene Do, Reshma Aur
Shera  and  that's  all. Is there any more ?). His output, though
less in quantity, was of high quality. Here is a song composed by
him (perhaps his first too).

        Song: Dil Jawan Hai Aarzoo  Jawan,  Ik  Nazar  Idhar  Bhi
Meharabaan
                Kab Talaq Ye Ham Se  Berukhi,  Kab  Talaq  Rahegi
Chup Zubaan

        Film:   Samundari Daaku (1950)
        Music:  Jaidev
        Lyrics: Jan Nisar Akhtar?
        Singer: Talat Mehmood
        *ing:   ?

This is a Talat  Mehmood  and  Talat-Asha  tandem  song.  Talat's
version is slow, otherwise both are ditto, if my memory serves me
right. I can distinctly recall how nicely accordion is played  in
this  song.  I  guess,  there  is  some  pieces  of guitar too. A
freshening tune, eventhough more than 40 years have passed.

Shall include his (Jaidev's) Joru Ka Bhai (1955) later.
