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.

@MrVicshuklanyc - Thank you my dear friend about the little known [or unknown] important detail about Shashi Goswami [Mrs. Manoj Kumar].

Sukh mein teray saath chalien gay,

dukh mein sabh monh moorein gay,

Dunyaa waaley, dunya waaley,

teray bun kr tera hi dil toorein gay,

Daitey hien Bhaqwaan ko dhookaaa,

insaan ko kya choorein gay,

(Rehman- LHR-Pakistan)

Kasmein waadey, pyaar wafa sabh baatein hein baatoun ka kya, Koi kisi ka nahin, yeh jhootey naatey hien naatoun ka kya, Ho ga maseehaa saamney tery, phir b na tu buch paaey ga, Tera apnaaaaaa,bhool k akhir tujh ko aag lagaey ga, Aasman pey urney waley, miti mien mil jay ga, (to be continued)

So true isn't it friends? So sad and so true. It really hurts when one's own family fits this description - It is the bane of our lives, egotism ( but contrast egotism with ethical individualism - big difference in the correct recognition of one's ego and egotism that create pain for other people.
