Rest In Peace Manna Dey ji.

You will be in our memories by your evergreen songs like:-
Pyar Hua Ikrar Hua
Yeh Dosti Hum Nahi Todenge
Zindagi Kaisi Hai Paheli
e meri zohra jabi
Laga chunari mein daag
Ek chatur naar karke singar
Yeh Raat Bheegi Bheegi
Ay mere pyare watan, ay mere bichhade chaman

Sir,

You are right.The evergreen song is 'Manase Myne varu' in Chemmeen, composed by Salil Choudhury and the film was released in 1964 I believe. Through this single song he won the heart of lots of malayalam fans.

Legendary playback singer Manna Dey died at a city hospital.

Manna Dey (1919-2013)

Prbhod Chandra Dey more famously known as Manna Dey was a melodious singer. I like his songs. Music lovers of my generation must have known his paternal Uncle Krishna Chandra Dey popularly known as KC Dey, a great singer and actor also Guru of S D Burman. He was a blind person and whose song Man ki ankhe kol baba was an all time hit.
Manna Dey was a tranined Hindustani classical singer. Among others, I love his famous songs set in classical Ragaas "tu pyar ka saagar hai " in Seema, "Yaari hai imaan mera yaar meri zindagi...." in Zanjeer, "Poochho Na Kaise Maine Rain Bitai" in Meri Surat Teri Ankhen and "Tere Naina Talash Kare Jise" in Talaash.

His death is a irreparable loss to the music world.
May his soul rest in peace.
