We
just
reported
to
about
the
demise
of
legendary
singer
Manna
Dey
this
morning.
On
this
day,
we
would
like
to
remember
him
for
the
man
he
was
and
pray
that
his
soul
rests
in
peace.
Manna
Dey,
who
was
born
on
May
1,
1919
was
gifted
with
a
voice.
This
was
a
voice
that
recorded
more
than
4000
songs
in
his
long
career
in
the
music
industry.
He
was
popular
for
his
hit
songs
in
Hindi
and
Bengali
but
he
also
contributed
to
other
languages
too.
For
his
contribution
to
the
Indian
music
industry,
Dey
was
awarded
the
Padma
Shri
in
1971
and
the
Padma
Bhushan
in
2005.
He
was
later
even
honoured
with
the
Dadasaheb
Phalke
Award
in
the
year
2007.
Dey's
birth
name
was
Prabodh
Chandra
Dey
but
was
fondly
called
by
everyone
with
his
nickname
Manna
Dey.
He
was
born
into
a
family
that
influenced
him
with
the
art
of
music.
Before
he
began
with
playback
singing,
he
started
his
career
as
an
assistant
music
director
and
grew
from
there.
His
first
playback
singing
was
for
the
1942
movie
titled
Tamanna
and
from
then
on
he
never
stopped
to
impress
us
with
his
beautiful
and
melodious
songs.
There
is
a
saying
that
says
-
There
is
nothing
better
than
singing
other
than
more
singing.
Manna
Dey
truly
followed
this
and
gave
us
so
many
songs
with
which
we
will
always
remember
him.
Although
he
has
bid
farewell
to
this
world,
his
songs
will
live
in
our
hearts.
