Lyrics by Rajendra Krishan.......

Prabodh Chandra Dey (born 1 May 1919), better known by his nickname Manna Dey, is one of the greatest playback singers in Hindi and Bengali films. He has recorded more than 3500 songs over the course of his career. Along with Mohammed Rafi, Kishore Kumar, Mukesh, he dominated Indian film playback music from the 1950s to the 1970s.

Dey was born to Purna Chandra (father) and Mahamaya Dey (mother)on 1 May 1919. Besides his parents, his youngest paternal uncle Sangeetacharya (meaning "Venerable Teacher of Music" in Sanskrit) K. C. Dey highly inspired and influenced him. Dey received his early education in a small pre-primary school named Indu Babur Pathshala. Thereafter he attended Scottish Church Collegiate School and Scottish Church College, followed by Vidyasagar College where he received his graduate education. From his childhood Dey has pursued wrestling and boxing.

Dey started his career in playback singing with the movie, Tamanna, in 1943. The musical score was by Krishna Chandra Dey and Manna sang a duet with Suraiya. The song was an instant hit. He sang a solo penned by Sachal Dev Burman, Upar Gagan Vishal, in the 1950 movie, Mashal. In 1952, Dey sang for a Bengali and a Marathi movie with the same name and storyline, Amar Bhupali. This established him as a leading playback singer.

Accolades and awards;

Mohammad Rafi once said to reporters: "You listen to my songs. I listen only to Manna Dey's songs". According to musicians Sachin Dev Burman and Anil Biswas, Manna Dey could sing any song of Mohammad Rafi, Kishore Kumar, Mukesh and Talat Mehmood.

Dey has been honored with the titles Padma Shri and Padma Bhushan.

Hello Yuan. One morning, Madan Mohan called Manna and asked "What are you doing? Come on over & have lunch with me". Manna arrived at his flat. Besides being a MD, Madan an excellent chef, was cooking mutton with okra. Manna said "What kind of combination is this?". Madan said "Eat it first, then comment". Manna was speechless. The dish was finger licking good. Then Madan told Manna " I have also made a beautiful tune for you. Make sure you sing it well". It was this Superhit!!!! :-)

Hello Yuan and Shukran. Though he had been playbacking for Raj Kapoor and Bharat Bhushan, it was this Madan Mohan composition that boosted Manna Dey into the limelight of Indian film music.

And where are you Yuan?
