Hey NeerUK, welcome to the section 😃 the song listed in your siggy is my absolute favourite and yes, Jaidev is a underrated MD.... he is fabulous...
Thanks Priya.....I am not new here but since I don't post my comments because of lack of time you guys don't know me....I wish I could interact more....but that will take away most of the time at my job.
I have yet to meet a person who does not enjoy the song in my siggy.... I heard that Jaidev was a very shy person and he along with manna dey, Bhupendra, Arun Paudwal and R.D. Burman were part of sd burman's music team, and he was senior assistant to S.D. Burman....he got to do the music of movie Hum Dono, because S.D. Burman was sick....His each composition turned out to be a jem...alla tero naam, har fikr ko, kabhi khud pe....etc..
Navketan Production and Sunil Dutt were so impressed with his creations...that Navketan decided sd burman and jaidev to alternate as music directors for their upcoming movies....and Sunil Dutt gave him 'Mujhe jeene do' right away and then 'Reshma aur Shera' later. But SD Burman was a tough competition for Jaidev in film music politics....so he never became popular.......and kept creating music, but never got married, and never had money to buy a home....
