The legendary playback singer Manna
Dey has been selected for the Dada
Saheb Phalke award (2007). The 90-year-old
Dey is known for belting out songs
like Ae mere pyaare watan, Upar
Gagan Vishal, Sur na saje kya gaun
main, Jhanak jhanak tori baaje payaliya,
Yeh dosti hum nahin torenge and
Zindagi kaisi hai paheli, which
still remains fresh in our memories.
Manna Dey recorded his first song
