Jaidev (Hindi: जयदेव वर्मा; 3 August 1919 – 6 January 1987; born Jaidev Verma) was a music composer in Hindi films, most known for his work in films: Hum Dono (1961), Reshma Aur Shera (1972), Prem Parbat (1973) and Gharonda (1977).
He won the National Film Award for Best Music Direction, three times for Reshma Aur Shera (1972), Gaman (1979) and Ankahee (1985).
Jaidev was born in Nairobi and brought up in Ludhiana, India. In 1933, when he was 15 years old, he ran away to Bombay to become a film star. There, he acted in eight films as a child star for the Wadia Film Company. He was initiated into music at a young age in Ludhiana by Prof. Barkat Rai. Later, when he made it Bombay, he learnt music from Krishnarao Jaokar and Janardan Jaokar.
Unfortunately, he had to leave his film career abruptly and return to Ludhiana, due to his father’s blindness, which thrust the sole responsibility of his family on his young shoulders.
After his father died, Jaidev took the responsibility of looking after his sister, Ved Kumari and later got her married to Sat-Paul Varma. After that in 1943, he left for Lucknow to study under the tutelage of music maestro Ustad Ali Akbar Khan.

Genres: Action, Drama, Fantasy, Thriller,She might be
Living in Dallas
Or Denver, Colorado
I know she likes it cold
She might have packed and moved back
To Alabama
There's no tellin' where she is
But there's one thing I know
Chorus:
She's a whole lotta gone
And we're a whole lotta through
How can I hold on
When there's nothing to hold on to
There's a whole lotta difference
Between love and alone
And when you add up the distance
She's a whole lotta gone
Well I was wrong
And I admit it
I took a lot for granted
Just a little at a time
But I still can't believe
She went and did it
At night I dream
Where she might be
Just to wake up and find
(Chorus)
I know she ain't comin' back
That's just the way it is
Say it any way you want
But it comes right down to this
(Chorus)
When you add up the distance
She's a whole lotta gone
