SD Burman’s USP lay in the fact that he was very close to the soil. His songs were extremely simple yet harmonious. In retrospect, most of his songs fit the situation so well that it is easy to remember not only the songs, but the scenes too. He also used a lot of folk music in his compositions and they were not just from the North or East, but from the South as well. Since folk music is easily acceptable, it made him a musician who was easy to appreciate.
