What do you think of Bappida, the Man with the Golden Touch, Midas. Famous last year for giving the contestants only a max of 7 marks.
This year we are having several History Graduates.😆

I like when Bappida sings his Bengali songs. One of his best songs was "Chalte Chalte Mere ye re" Sung by Kishorda

400 movies and 28 odd albums, quite a few songs which are note worthy, certianly a few songs on raag , he began to play the tabla from the age of three and developed his liking for rhythm. He learnt classical music from his parents and made his debut as a music director at the age of 14. I won't sideline him as mere plagiarist only.

Javed Akhtar once said, "Have you ever heard a Bappi Lahiri song that is dull? His songs are so bright.

Known as the Disco King at his peak, Bappi Lahir is generally considered the master plagiarist even though as he says, "Everyone has plagiarized right from the veterans. But I have done it from famous sources, there is no pretence'. The composer is always bedecked with jewellery, which includes pendants of religious or astrological value.

Thanks for info. He has always seemed to be a man of few words. Yes he introduced western style Disco Music. In a way to introduce something new from another country one has to copy, so long as it is openly done and credit given to the original song writers it is fine ( legal and copyright issues being separately dealt with) .
On his Mother's side he was related to Kishore Kumar the famous singer.
In SRGMP 2005 even Shekarji loved it the way Bappida sang soulfully.
He had promised to promote Mauli as the Indian Shakira, but seems like nothing has happened so far. Still there is time so let us see.
From Wikipedia:
Song History

Lahiri has also known to have used similar popular western numbers, and many of his popular songs sample key melodies from popular western hits without credit or permission[1], including:

Bappi Lahiri Song Corresponding Western Song Song's Original Artist
Dil Tha Akela from Suraksha Hasta Maana ABBA
Jeena Bhi Kya Hai Jeena from Kasam Paida Karne Wale Ki Billy Jean Michael Jackson
Tera Mera Pehla Yaarana from Shart Karma Chameleon Culture Club
Koi Yahan Nache Nache Video Killed The Radio Star The Buggles
Jimmy Jimmy Disco Dancer T'es OK, T'es Bath Ottawan
Hari Om Hari from Pyara Dushman One Way Ticket Eruption
Zubi Zubi from the movie "Dance Dance" Brother Louie Modern Talking
Haan Meri Jaisi Haseena from "Armaan" When You're In Love With A Beautiful Woman Dr. Hook
Jee Le Le from Tarzan Kilele Osibisa

He disappeared from the Indian film industry in the 1990s. He made a brief comeback in the Prakash Mehra produced 'Dalal' starring Mithun Chakraborty. The song 'Gutur Gutur' from the film was a big hit, though it had its own share of controversies due to its suggestive lyrics. In 2004, he brought out his album 'Bappi Magic - The Asli Baap Mix', featuring popular numbers such as 'Gori Hai Kalaiyan' and 'Jimmy Jimmy'. It attained great popularity. In 2005, he composed the background score for the Jahnu Barua film, 'Maine Gandhi Ko Nahin Maara', thus reaffirming his identity as a very versatile composer. In 2006, he lent his voice to another composer for the first time with the song "Boombai Nagariya" which he sang for Vishal-Shekhar for the movie Taxi Number 9211. Of late, he has once again lent his voice to the title track of the Mani Ratnam film 'Guru', in which the music has been composed by A.R.Rahman. He has also recorded songs for the movie 'Level Crossing' produced by actor Jayaprada. In 2006, he appeared on the popular television show 'Sa Re Ga Ma Pa L'il Champs' on Zee TV as co-judge with singers Alka Yagnik and Abhijeet. He is currently a judge for the 2007 edition of Zee TV's 'Sa Re Ga Ma Pa' and Sony Entertainment Television's K For Kishore reality show that aims to find the 'heir apparent' to Kishore Kumar. In a September 2007 interview, he said, "I have films like Journey from Bombay to Goa, Jhoom, Khushboo, Mudrank, Ek Hasina Ek Dewana, Jaane Bhi Do Yaroo, Budda Mil Gaya, Boothnath, and, of course, the show with the Jacksons, in the pipeline".[citation needed]. With S. I. Tutul, he provided music for Sarkar Raj (2008).
