It's
an
astonishing
feat,
and
only
a
composer
of
Bappi
Lahiri's
zingy
spirit
could
pull
it
off.
Says
the
ebullient
Bappi-da
"Lata
Didi
who
recorded
songs
for
my
father
Aparesh
Lahiri
also
sang
some
of
my
most
beautiful
ballads
including
Saiyyan
bina
ghar
soona(Aangan
Ki
Kali
),
Jaane
kyon
mujhe(Agreement),
Dard
ki
ragini(Pyaasa)
and
Sooni
Sej
sajaa
doon(Jyoti)
and
of
course
the
song
Thoda
resham
lagta
hai
which
became
a
huge
international
re-mix
hit.
Now,
Lata
Didi
will
record
a
song
for
my
son
Bappa."
Bappi
is
naturally
very
proud.
"There
have
been
many
instances
of
Lata
Didi
singing
for
father
and
son
composers,
like
Sachin
Dev&Rahul
Dev
Burman,
Roshan&Rajesh
Roshan
and
Chitragupta&Anand-Milind.
But
never
has
she
sung
for
a
third
-generation
composer
from
the
same
family,
or
any
family.
I
feel
very
very
blessed."
Bappi-da
currently
in
the
news
for
his
presence
as
a
star-judge
on
the
popular
Sa
Re
Ga
Ma
Pa
Little
Champs
music
show,
is
suddenly
very
much
in
demand
as
a
singer.
In
the
last
few
months
he
has
recorded
as
many
as
15
songs
in
15
days
for
music
directors
as
far-ranging
as
Vishal-Shekhar
and
debutant
Nitin
Shankar
for
whom
Bappi-da
has
sung
for
a
film
called
Bombay
To
Goa.
"Earlier
I'd
sing
only
my
own
songs.
Now
suddenly,
new-generation
music
composers
want
my
vocals.
What
can
I
say?
But
my
proudest
moment
came
when
I
sang
for
my
song
Bappa
Lahiri
for
an
untitled
film
being
produced
by
Sanjay
Gupta.
It
was
a
very
big
moment
for
me,
because
I
had
sung
for
my
father
and
now
I
got
to
sing
for
my
son.
I
don't
think
any
composer
had
the
privilege
to
sing
for
both
his
father
and
son."
The
only
other
occasion
when
a
father-composer
got
to
sing
for
his
son
was
when
Sachin
Dev
Burman
sang
Doli
mein
bithaiyeeke
for
R.D
in
Amar
Prem.
