Manna Dey - The Legendary Singer
Manna Dey passed away on October 23, 2013 in Bangalore which was his home town for the last several years.
Needless to say, I am, and will always be, an admirer and fan of the great singer. Many of you may not agree with me, but I feel
that he was the greatest classical singer of modern Hindi cinema. On these pages, I am planning to post articles about him, his music,
and a selection of my favorite songs sung by him. I invite everyone to contribute to this thread.
Thank you.

Manna Dey - an unmatched musical genius
Irony was the constant refrain of Manna Dey’s life. A world happy to sway to jingles could not always appreciate the steeped-in-classicism kalaam of Manna Da. Not blessed with the rare yodelling skills of Kishore Kumar or the soaked-in-romance style of Mohammed Rafi, there were a few things Manna Dey could do which his contemporaries could not aspire to. He could whip up a Lagi chunari mein daag, or Aayo kahan se Ghanshyam with such ease that he made a mockery of all predictions of the songs being difficult or challenging. Music directors Shankar-Jaikishen, indeed Mohammed Rafi too, felt he was the best choice when it came to songs with classical leanings.

This is Manna Dey's and Salil Da's first Malayalam song:
Note: The Hindi version of this song was sung by Hariharan, and the Bengali version
by K.J. Yesudas & Sabita Choudhary (both available on Youtube).
