Anand Bakshi was in true sense a Bollywood lyricist, as he could write songs on any situation, be it romantic, peppy, sad, funny, philosophical, patriotic, devotional etc etc. I have tried to select the songs of different moods penned by him, and hope you will like them. To have a career spanning more than 4 decades in hindi filmy music is a great achievement by itself. He has worked with almost all the music directors during his career span but his association with Laxmikant Pyarelal & RD Burman created wonders in filmy music.
Waiting for your views/comments/feed backs.
