Rahul Dev Burman (June 27, 1939–January 4, 1994) was a Bollywood Composer whose creativity and style revolutionized music in Hindi Films. R.D. Burman has influenced the bollywood music more than any other music director of his times and brought glitzy dance-oriented music to the stagnated techniques of the '70s. His approach, which takes cues from Western rock and electronic music and amalgamates it perfectly with Indian chorus and rhythm-based melodies is unprecedented and years ahead of his time.
