My blog on the
music of Hindi films released between 1960 and 1968 features posts on a couple
of tracks from Jis Desh Mein Ganga Behti Hai, which released in 1960.
When I was writing them, I hadn’t heard Mera Naam Raju.
It was three minutes and 10 seconds long.
There’s no two ways about that the fact that Mukesh Chand Mathur, who rendered the song, was a gentleman.
Although Raju’s gharana (lineage) was anaam (unknown), the others who collaborated on this track certainly weren’t – it was penned by Shailendra, and composed by Shankar Jaikshan.
