Retro Cafe is back with yet another very exciting episode!!! This week. We bring you none other than....
Songs of Manna Dey - The Versatile Genius!!
Manna Dey is probably one of the most talented singers who had glorified the golden age of Bollywood cinema. Although his father was a Chartered Accountant, his uncle K.C. Dey's influence had turned his attention towards music and he completed his classical talim from Ustad Aman Ali Khan. Manna Dey went to Bombay with his uncle KC Dey and also worked as assistant of SD Burman. His song "upar gagan bishal" in the film Mashal, stationed him permanently among other singers during the golden age.
He stormed into the bollywood arena with successful songs in Raj Kapoor's Shri 420, namely "mur mur ke na dekh mur mur ke", "pyar hua ikrar hua hai" and "dil ka hal sune dilwala" and caught the attention of Shankar Jaikishan, the famous musical duo. His classical background was fully exploited in the film Basant Bahar, 1957, where Shankar Jaikishan's composition "sur na saje kya gayun mai" and his contest with Bhim Sen Joshi was well acclaimed by music lovers.
This legendary singer was born on 1st May, 1919 and Retro Cafe will be celebrating his B'day by playing some of his popular songs this week. Retro Cafe would be going down the memory lane to reminisce some of those moments of this living legend.
On wednesday then we shall all meet right here on this thread at the Retro time, and listen to our favourite show.....
