Laxmikant Pyarelal worked a lot in Indian Cinema and produced son\me of the very best tunes of all times. Their work was appreciated by critics as well and they won eight Filmfare awards which gives us the idea that how superbly they work that in presence of other music directors they lead from the front. My Favorite twenty songs by LP are as follows:

1. Chahoon Ga Main Tujhe-Dosti

If you ever heard the song you must be a lover of this song. The first formal recognition for LP in music industry. People start admiring their music from the day one. Rafi sung the song with such a joy that make you a fan of LP and Rafi. The one very special song of 60’s.

1. Aane Se Uske Aye Bahar & Aap Mujhe Ache Lagne Lage —Jeene Ki Raah

M.Rafi sings the song in such a manner that young singer today sing this song and learn many techniques of singing and MD’s offcourse learn the music from this song. You don’t need very up beats to make people shake their legs its melody which can also do the same work. The other song sung by Lataji. She won Filmfare award for the song. A unique tune never produced after LP by anybody.

1. Aaj Mausam Bada-Loafer

Again Rafi Sahab sings in joyful manner.i don’t know why when ever I listen this song a special mood overtakes me as if there is a cloudy weather smooth cool breeze blowing a beautiful spring day is around me. That is what the power of LP’s melodious music.  Simply one landmark in Indian music.

1. Sola Baras Ki—Ek Doje Ke Liye

The song seems at first as it is plain LP style but when it goes on you see there is no pause in the singing that is what is called experimentation. LP blend melody fine music and superb singing together and produced a highest quality product for music lovers. Lataji sung the song as usual superbly.

1. Yeh Dil Tum Bin-Ijazat

A wonderful melodious song. Rafi & Lata produced superior quality of singing. LP produced sweetest of their tunes. I bet any new singer try to sing this song and luckily able to sing it rightly he can be said as singer. The one outstanding production by LP. Showing not only their talent to world but also to the Industry.

1. Pyar Karne Wale Kabhi darte-Hero

The kind of technique Nadeem Shravan and Anu Malik uses these days. So we can say LP are the pioneer of this technique. Simple melody and soft music. Ghoongroo Jhankar is obvious in the song with the Been and big drum beating. A very good song indeed.

1. Yeh Galiyan Yeh Chobara—Prem Rog

I remember the song from my childhood as my Mom like the song and she use to listen the song. It has many memories to share and that is the song all about. A high quality song with some exclusive tune. Lataji was on her peak when she sung the song. The one very best wedding song as well.

1. Jane Kyoun Log—Mehboob Ki Mehndi

Though I did’nt like the picturization  due to lyrics and situation dosent match but if you just listen the song it shows you an impression of a sad song with some very emotional singing and https://lyrics. Lataji sung the song so perfectly that I am simply speechless.

1. Dil Ne Dil Ko Pukara—Do Raaste

   
   




2. Lata-Rafi duet. Chup gae Sare Nazare Ooye Kya Baat Ho Gai. the start ensures the song is loving. LP produced these kind of melodies in early 70’s and outplayed Shankar Jaikishan and ruled for next two decades.  A very special song. These kind of song are rare these days.

   
   




3. Who Jab Yaad Aye-Parasmani

   
   

Rafi Sahab sung the song in a mood which take you to another world. LP explored many worlds of music and this is one of their destination. Thought he song enters sometimes in SJ territory but originality and purity of tune is guaranteed.

1. Mere Dil Main Aaj Kya Hai-Daag

A plain melody remembered for years and people loved the song. Kishore Kumar at this point of time outplayed Rafi Sahab and the song become one of the finest in both Kishore’s and LP’s career.

1. Hansta Hua Noorani Chehra—Parasmani

Lataji sung the song so cutely that it speaks itself. Dilruba O Dilruba. in between the song is quite loving. LP established their own style and stiked to it forever which proved their success.

1. Bindya Chamke Gi-Do Raaste

Lataji sung the song with joy. The Dholuk beats gives a very superb impression. The music and tune is outstanding. Whenever these type of masterpieces come in front one question which strikes my head is that are the today’s MD’s doing justice to music or not the answer comes NO. this kind of songs are said to be hard work. A unique composition and simply the best.

1. Jhilmil Sitaroon Ka—Jeevan Mirtyu

Rafi Sahab sung the song in his natural mood and LP produced the everlasting melody. The one thing is clear from this song that LP tries theiur best to chage the musc face and partly able to chage it.

1. Dafli Wale—Sargam

Lata-Rafi duet. Everyone likes this song so there is no other question about the song. Any album with Lat-Rafi duet releases today has this song why the answer is simple the most favorite song of public.

1. Mere Mehboob Qayamat Hogi—Mr.X in Bombay

Kishore Kumar sung the song. My favorite song and I am sure any body who ever heard it before would certainly have liked it. A sentimental song with a very soft music and a superb tune gives a soothing impact to the song.

1. Chitthi Aai Hey—Naam

Pankhaj Udas sung the song. If you love Sanjay Dutt you must have listen the song. Later 80’s best song. Lyrics are very special. So LP not only produced good music but good artistes as well, like Pankhaj was never had that position which he got after this song.

1. Woh Hain Zara Khafa Khafa—Shagird

A simple and hummable track. Lat-Rafi duet once again and with LP combination the song becomes more special. The simplicity of the tune and the softness of the music is the highlight of the song

1. Ek Pyar Ka Naghma—Shor

A rare Mukesh and Lata duet in LP album. But a very inspiring song. The song talks about a persons life and with some cute lyrics the soft music and superb singing gives the song multi-loaded result.

1. Acha To Hum Chalte Hain—Aan Milo Sajna

Lata & Kishore Duet. Another very special tune and some regular music by LP. But the worth listening is its tune and arrangements. The singers singing is relax mood and that gives the impression how cooperative LP were with the singers and produces high quality music for music lovers. A cool song or conversation between a lover and beloved.

That is what a problem I face whenever writing a review on any legend that I still have 1000s of songs which can be listed very easily here. But due to spce and topic restriction I am bound to have these 20 only.

Laxmikant Pyarelal is great name of Indian music industry I guess almost half of the Indian music work is done by LP. They are simply the legends.
