Manna Da

Finally one of my favorite singer gets the prestigious "Dada Saheb phalke award".
Phalke award for Manna da
Manna da is amongst the few singers who has got a unique voice which doesn't only soothes your ears but touches your heart instantly. First time i heard any of Manna da's song was the song "Jindagi kaisi hai paheli" from Anand and it became my favorite song for so many reasons. The sweetness of the song, soulful music, amazing lyrics by Yogesh and ofcourse the song picturization. Since then i am a great fan of Manna da. Did you ever hear a song as classic as 'laaga chunari mein daag' ? The uniqueness to match the dynamics of Kishore da in much famous 'yeh dosti hum nahi chodenge'.. The energy in 'yaari hai imaan mera' from Zanjeer.. The voice to make your eyes wet 'kasmein waade pyar wafa sab' from Upkaar.. The rustic voice to make the song memorable: 'Chalat musafir moh liyo re' from teesri kasam... Amazing camaraderie with Kishore da in 'Ek chatur naar karke shringar'.. Heart touching 'Tujhe suraj kahun ya chanda' from Ek phool do maali.. Do you know who is the male voice for the all time famous 'pyar hua ikraar hua' from Shree 420?
The list is endless and the best part is that every song sung by Manna da carries a uniqueness in it.
The famous poems of Dr. Harivansh rai bachchan, 'Madhushala', recited by Manna da carries the great simplicity and sweetness that i keep on listening to it repeatedly.. Manna da voice adds another charm to the lines of Madhushala.
Hat's off to this legendary singer..I hope i could make a collection of all the songs of Manna da..
