Sachin Dev Burman-'The Inimicable':: :Born on October 01, 1906 in Comilla, Bangladesh and died on October 31, 1975, Sachin Dev Burman was a scion of the princely family of Tripura, now a state of India. His royalty is reflected in his unmistakable simple yet unique style which holds the listner spell bound. Classical training was given by his father, sitarist and dhrupad singer Nabadwipchandra Dev Burman and later by Ustad Badal Khan as well as by Bhishmadev Chattopadhyay. Early work for radio was based on East Bengali and north eastern folk-music. In early 30s, he made a reputation in Bengal as a singer of folk and light classical music and sang at the Allahabad Sangeet Sammelan (Music Conference) in 1935. First record was of a Nazrul Islam composition, leading to a long and productive relationship with the writer and composer. His debut in film singing was for Pankaj Mullick in Atorthy's 'Yahudi Ki Ladki'(1933) but the songs were scrapped and re-sung by Pahadi Sanyal. First film as a singer was Tinkari Chakraborthy's Sanjher Pidim (1935). He also acted in Dhiren Ganguli's 'Bidrohi' (1935). He was music director from 1939 till his death. His famous compositions in the film 'Aradhana','Guide','Amar Prem' etc. are very prolific yet soul touching. His regal and intoxicating voice sounds as if a very harmonious instrument is being played. His compositions had a unique sense of spiritual 'nirvana'. His simple yet soul touching use of instruments is nothing short of meditative trance. The few songs he ever sang are timelss, intoxicating and ever fresh, each carrying a deeper meaning of life. All his songs are sung gustoso. Each song he composed, directed or sang himself fathoms one's personal triumphs and tragedies. Lots of other singers have come and gone but nobody touches the soul so deeply than Sachin 'Da', as he was affectionately called. He truly was 'The Inimicable'.

Kundan Lal Saigal-'The Unparalleled'::Born in 1904 in Jammu, India, raised mostly in Jallandhar(also my birthplace!),Punjab, died in 1946, at an early age of 42, Kundan Lal Saigal was artistically inclined right from his childhood. He had no formal training as a singer but rose to be an unparalleled legend, later dubbed as "The Nightingale Of India". He also acted in 29 movies spanning over 2 decades, from famous movies like 'Devdas' to 'My Sister'. His code of conduct was complete liberation from rules and regulations. Through his vocal expression, he was assuaging his tormented soul and setting an unparralleled precedent which later became the hallmark and norm of showbiz in Calcutta & Mumbai. No single person has had so much influence on singers, artists, composers, actors and the entire generation of music lovers in India and abroad than Kundan Lal Saigal. Listen to some of his everlasting songs and let your soul be drenched in the skies of love, introspection and unbridled self expression. He is truly 'The Unparalleled' for all times to come.

The 'Unique' and The 'Mighty' Kishore Kumar":: Kishore Kumar, the legend was a versatile singer and a man of different moods. He was very 'eccentric'(in a good way), very human, very romantic and always upbeat. He had an overwhelming "Golden Voice" that gave us so many songs that are beyond par excellence. He was 'Inimicable', 'Unparalleled', 'One of a Kind' and yet very human. He sang all songs gustoso. His voice had the depth, the emotion, the mettle and touching your soul deep down. His death on Oct 13, 1987 left a void that could never be filled. May God bless his soul.

'Everlasting' Master Madan :The most promising vocalist Maestro Master Madan, who died at the young age of 14 yrs, sang only few songs which are everlasting and embedded in perfection, unmistakable intonations and deep soul touching. One could only imagine where this young Maestro could have catapulted to, had he lived his normal life span? The few songs including two ghazals he sang are presented to you as a tribute to the age old adage,"the soul lives forever"
