+'''Omkar Prasad Nayyar (b. 1926)'''
+
+ 
+Composer born in Patiala, Punjab. Employed
+by AIR, Jullundur. Début scoring the
+background music for Kaneez. First break as
+composer for Pancholi films (Aasmaan).
+Scored very popular music for many 50s films
+such as early Guru Dutt (Baaz, Aar Paar, Mr
+and Mrs ’55) and Kishore Kumar films (P.L.
+Santoshi’s Cham Chama Cham and Kardar’s
+Baap Re Baap). Late 50s films include Tumsa
+Nahin Dekha, the film in which Shammi
+Kapoor changed into his Presley image, and
+Howrah Bridge, with the most famous song,
+Mera naam Chin Chin Choo. Also scored the
+biggest film in Kapoor’s ‘Yahoo’ image,
+Kashmir Ki Kali. A characteristic scene of his
+b&w films is a cabaret dancer performing -
+often to a Rhumba rhythm - in front of the Boss
+in a nightclub (Twelve O’Clock, Aar Paar).
+Introduced several Punjabi rhythms, esp. from
+the Bhangra folk dances, into Hindi film as well
+as producing ‘light’ popular music with rock
+overtones for Geeta Dutt and Asha Bhosle’s
+early hits. Returned to score a Telugu film,
+Neerajanam, after a decade out of work.
