I have cried so hard after coming across this clip on the Indian Idol forum. We take life so easy and find pain in the smallest things and forget how cruel the world can be! 😭

Music labels should be ASHAMED of themselves for not paying their artist royalties...there are so many like Santosh ji who aren't getting what they deserve while the label laughs its way to the bank, taking money which is not even theirs. Ab toh sharam karo !! Bill ko pass hue 9 saal ho gaye !! Have a heart !!

Noble gesture by Neha though, kudos to her. ❤️

Very emotional ❤️

Here come the waterworks 😭

Such an emotional video

Change is slowly happening in BW like they acknowledged 90’s singers in Coolie remake songs.

Hopefully, in near future, we’ll see that BW will be forced to give royalty and credit to lyricist, singers and music directors who’s sweat and blood had made the song popular among the masses.

Ashley,

Does this happen in Hollywood industry too?

Are the artists ( lyricist, singer or music director ) over there get credit and royalty for their work?

Thanks for commenting 👌

So sad to see him like this. What an emotional video.. cried a lot. . . Just commenting to pay my respect for him and his talent. He is a legend and definitely deserves to be recognised for his contribution to music 👏

His song ek pyar ka nagma hai is a gem 💎 hope he gets his happiness and all the due respect, wealth and health he deserves.

Toofan ko anaa hai

Aa'ker chale jana hai

Badal hai yeh kuch pal ka

Chaa'kar dhall jana hai

Parchaiia rehjati

Reh jaati nishaani hai

Zindagi aur kuch bhi nahi

Teri meri kahani hai

Yeah change is surely happening..the problem in our country is till people don't file lawsuits and make a big deal out of it, nothing is done.

@bold: Yes they credited everyone: lyricist, music director, singer

Basically labels are pocketing what's not theirs.

No Shweta not at all, this doesn't happen in Hollywood. Abroad the copyright law is way too strict, and they do things the legal way, I respect that a lot.

Recently British singer ZAYN released a song called tightrope and he used two lines from 'Chaudhvi Ka Chand'...for those two lines also Ravi and Shakeel Badayuni are credited! That too immediately after ZAYN's name! Look at the difference! In India, labels remake songs and give the original team's name somewhere at the bottom of the description box.

This is the reason why songwriters and singers abroad live very grand lives and own huge mansions, multiple properties, even after making maybe 10 albums only. Our music industry has had much more volume of work and artists are still struggling to make ends meet. People like Laxmikant-Pyarelal (600+ albums), Kalyanji-Anandji-Viju Shah (230+ films together), Chitragupta-Anand-Milind (around 400+ albums together), Sameer Anjaan (approx 500+ albums), Shankar-Jaikishan (approx 200 films) etc's families could be owning private islands that's the volume of work they've done!

Here's another example of how our seniors are struggling badly:

Just reading the lyrics made me bawl my eyes out. Life is so cruel! 😭 Our legends deserve so much better! 😭😭💔

His songs from Sangeet were also brilliant...

O Rabba Koi Toh Bataye Pyar Hota Hai Kya

Jaisa Mujhe Ho Gaya Sabko Hota Hai Kya

**

Jo Geet Nahi Janma

Voh Geet Banayenge

Tere Pyaar Ka Sur Lekar

Sangeet Banayenge...❤️
