can't help but mention the foll.songs by Hemantada which are evergreen & very popular 👏

Paalkir gaan: paalki chole re

Raanar chuteche tai ghum ghum ghonta bajche raate

poth harabo bole ebar pothe nemechi

kono ak gaayer bodhur kotha tomai shonai shono

These magical scores are a class apart & simply stand out. 😳

A program was up on TV that had a song by JuggyD and Veronica (wonder where they got that name from 😉) and I spoofed it.

But yes, Forsythe P. Jones (better known as Jughead) 😆 was my favorite character from the comic strip too...

Thanks Qwest ji.
Some sons and info on Salil Choudhury + Hemanta

Hemanta Mukherjee

Probably the most famous and the most loved singer of Bengal. Salil said once that if God could sing he would have a voice like Hemanta. Bengalees all over the world lovingly call him Hemanta or Hemantada. In the rest of India he is known as Hemant Kumar. Bengalees really fell in love with him when he started singing Rabindrasangeet. His wonderful deep voice, his delivery and his perfect pronunciation gave Rabindrasangeet a totally new dimension. Besides recording for most of the Bengali composers, he himself was an accomplished composer. His first song for Salil was 'Gaanyer Bodhu'. Rumour has it that when 'Gaanyer Bodhu' was released Salil wasn't even around. He was hiding from the police somewhere in the Sundarbans due to his associations with the communist party. Anyway, 'Gaanyer Bodhu' immediately established Hemanta as an important singer in the Bengali music scene and Salil as the new composer and lyricist. It was going to be one of the most important and long lasting musical partnerships in Bengal. I don't think there will ever be another composer like Salil who would create songs like 'Moner janaala dhorey' or 'Amaay prosno karey neel dhrubotaara', and any other singer who would be able to sing these songs like the way Hemanta did.
Salil and Hemanta's songs have now become an integral part of Bengali culture ....

There's a hindi version of Gaa.nyer Bodhu. This song was recorded by Hemanta most probably on his own initiative. The opening melody line is different and so is the arrangement. Doesn't sound like Salil at all. And the lyric ( no idea who wrote it) is pretty pathetic.

Ranu Mukherjee was a judge in SRGM children's special as well. And guess who was the "co-judge" along with her...
Antara Chowdhary - daughter of Salil da...
