While young fans of legendary singer Manna Dey took to social networking sites to commemorate his first death anniversary, a Kolkata-based gramophone record collector paid tribute to the artist by tuning into a priceless prayer song sung by Dey and written by Mahatma Gandhi.
Manna Dey died in Bangalore October 24 last year following prolonged illness. He was 94. Collector Susanta Kumar Chatterjee witnessed Dey performed live at his college function in the 1970s. He later met the great singer at his residence. But little did he know that down the decades he would be an audience to a truly rare piece of music and history.
