When Kalyanji Anandji inspired the Western Rap Artists who won a GRAMMY. (Did You Know - 49)

Though not for their individual album or song, but the veteran music director Kalyanji Anandji’s musical creation did win the Grammy Award in 2005 through the Rap Group “Black-Eyed-Peas” collectively.

The group very innovatively used the melody and the actual musical pieces of two Kalyanji Anandji’s songs, “Ae Naujawan, Hai Sab Kuchh Yahaan” from APRADH (1972) and “Yeh Mera Dil, Yaar Ka Deewana” from DON (1978) (both sung by Asha Bhosle) in their track “Don't Phunk With My Heart” in 2005. The combo creation won them a GRAMMY for the “Best Rap Performance for a Duo or Group” and they duly gave the credit to the original creators of the insertions used in the song by felicitating them in the right way. But since both Kalyanji and Indeewar had passed away, therefore Anandji was duly honoured on their behalf..

So though not directly, but Bollywood music did win a GRAMMY through the “Black-Eyed-Peas” group as an intelligent collaboration of two Hindi film songs and their own creation.

Cheers!

(Here I would also like to mention that famous music director Ravi's composition "Baar baar dekho" from CHINA TOWN (1962) was the first-ever Hindi film song to be officially remade by a West Indies music band and they took official rights to re-create it in their language – As told by renowned columnist Rajiv Vijaykar.)
