Padmabhushan Manna Dey
The Legendary 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 of Padma Shri and Padma Bhushan.
He is all of 84 years young and Manna Dey proved his mettle, range and versatility yet again as he sang for 4 hours before a mesmerized audience of about 900 people at a concert hosted by the Robin Raina Foundation in Atlanta on 14th August.
If you are a fan of Indian classical music, the lo and behold, Manna Dey’s concert mustn’t go missed!
