Great post.. 👏
Manna Dey was the best when it came to classical singing in the film industry..
Out of these contestants, I feel Aneek and Amanat can somewhat carry most of his songs well, but still don't think they can reach his level of perfection especially when it comes to songs like 'Phul gendwa na maro', 'Cham Cham baje re payalia', 'Lapak Jhapak', 'Re man sur me ga', 'Sur na saje', 'Pucho na kaise', 'Aayo kahan se ghanshyam' 'Laga chunri', 'Kaun aaya'...
His voice had the murkiyan and smoothness both which usually is rare to find together. For ex. Mussarat has murkiyaan in his voice but the smooth flow is lacking, Aneek has the smoothness but the murkiyaan necessary for classical songs is not there.
