One of the last great playback singers Mahendra Kapoor passed away on the 27th September.
We have to thank God that He has spared Manna Dey so far.
One after another, all the great playback singers have been called to the other side. I suppose God too would like to listen to them.
The songs sung by them still touch our hearts.
India is the poorer with their absence.
There were others and I would not like to belittle their contribution.
Talat Mehmood, Pradeep, are names which come to mind
