Down Melody Lane
A review after a long period. Just finished reading a book called "Down Melody Lane" it is written by Raju Bharatan a music writer who has had a ringside view of all the music directors, composers & singers from the late 40s onwards and on intimate terms with most of them. This book looks at the music rivalries, jealousies, camps, but also gives an insight into the most happening events surrounding the hindi film music during this era which was undoubtedly the golden era of music. The narrative is quite horrible, but in the end it is a most satisfying book because then you are reading about your idols like Mohd Rafi, Kishore Kumar, Hemant Kumar, Talat Mahmood etc.
