Happy Birthday Manna Da

SPACE FOR MY MEDLEY VIDEO

I started my singing with Manna De and he is my favorite singer !

Here is me singing two of my favorite Manna Da songs

Ae meri zohra-jabeen from Waqt &  Zindagi kaisi ha paheli from Anand 

The 1st song that I remember of Manna Da is from Mere Huzoor " Jhanak Jhanak Tori Baaje Payaliya " composed by Shanker Jaikishan. This was one of favorte songs of my Late father. Many of our(mine & Dads) favorite all time classical Hindi film songs are By Manna Da.

Manna Dey or Manna De was born in Amar Kolkata as Prabodh Chandra Dey , on May 1st 1919 (YES along with me I am also Born on 1st May in 1960 !!!) so is this dude Sourav Banerjee . http://reverbnation.com/souravbanerjee my 22 year old protege found on http://twitter.com/srvasn

                 

                       His music inspiration came from his paternal Uncle Krishna Chandra De or popularly known as K.C.Dey who was a very famous composer & singer along with Pankaj Mullick  during the 1930's he worked for New Theater group and was responsible for much acclaim of Kundan Lal Saigal & Pankaj Mullick and also a guru of Sachin Dev Burman Da. Though it is said that the first Song Manna Day Sang was in 1943 for the film Tamanna but if I am not wrong this is the 1st ever song which Manna Dey Sang. " Ajab Vidhi ka Lekh, kisis se padha na jaaye " from the film Ram Rajya 

Manna Dey's Fisrt ever Song

Ajab Vidhi Ka Khel Lekh Kisi se Padha na Jaaye

Film : Ram Rajya

Composer : Shankerrao Vyaas

Lyrics Ramesh Gupta

I won't write much about him but list his songs you can read this link for details (on wikipedia)
