His song genre is light, classical music. He is famous for melodious music and noted for their soothing qualities. His talent is not restricted to music direction alone, but he has composed beautiful lyrics too for many of his songs. Jain's greatest discovery is claimed by some to be the noted playback singer, Dr. K. J. Yesudas, who has sung in many of his pictures. Together they gave the Hindi film industry some memorable songs like 'Oo goriya re' (Naiyya), 'Beethi hui raat ki' (Sunayna), and 'Gori tera gaon' (Chitchor). It is said that Jain was so fascinated by the way Yesudas sang his songs that Yesudas' face was the first he wanted to see if he ever received his vision. Jain has worked on songs after his liaison with Yesudas, but he has failed to attain the pinnacle of glory he achieved with the master singer during the 1970s.In Addition Ravindra Jain also rendered beautiful music to many of the Rajeshree films.
