Shankar Jaikishan
This powerhouse music team in actuality rarely composed together.
Jaikishan struggled with alcohol abuse and died at the age of 39 in 1971. Shankar died sixteen years later.
Shankar Jaikishan songs are routinely "borrowed from" by younger composers.
The pair's 1965 soundtrack for "Basant Bahar" proved they could handle classical music as well as westernized pop.
The duo worked almost exclusively with two lyricists: Hasrat Jaipuri and Shailendra.
