It is unbelievable how Manna Dey matches the Bhimsenji taan for taan here!
It is possible, of course, that Pt Joshi was asked by the music director
not to make things too difficult for Dey ;p but if not, then Manna Dey
almost proves an equal to the Bharat Ratna in virtuosity!

After several years Manna Dey also accepted one thing.when Padosan was released, Manna Dey was asked to sing aginst Kishore Kumar and was defeated by Kishore...Manna Dey argued "these Directors, Producers and sometimes Music directors also don't understand...they made him lose aginst Kishore Kumar and win against Pt Bhimsen Joshi"...that is so funny...

@dams0001 Actually Bhimsen Joshi is down playing is capabilities. He is a
great singer, and Manna Dey, as good as he is, is no where near Bhim ji. I
heard Bhimsen Joshi's live concert, and they are amazing. He has a
beautiful voice and singing abilities. Personally I love his voice above
any artist.

@sabina2475 : very probably true; also, Manna Dey must have performed
unusually extensive riyaaz before recording this song. He excelled here as
nowhere else. Though he had a background of classical training, popular
music would never demand that kind of riyaaz; so it is a safe bet to
conclude that he had to work extra hard to match Pt. Bhimsen Joshi.

A rare piece by Bhimsen who never sang for films. Vintage Bhimsen ji and I
agree Manna Dey is there every step of the way.

Such an amazing song!! But I wonder why they didn't have Bhimsen Joshi sing as the winner. That would have made more sense. Manna Dey is magnificent, but I think even he would have doubts about Bhimsen Joshi being outsung..

It is GREAT that Shankar brought TWO great giants together in this greta
song - each great in his own way. Of course there is no comparison when it
comes to classical singing that Panditji toweres way above Manna Da, who by
him self is a GIANT TOWER. But I think that this was done for the purpose
of appealign to masses, I am sure that living giant Manna De would never
have placed him anywhere even near the Panditji forget about putti9ng
himself above him.

interview where he mentioned to be at bhimsen ji's place for few months to
learn this song. True masterpiece!

Pt Bhimsen is Bharat Ratna, so it's unfair to compare him with the judges
on Indian Idol. I do agree because some of those guys act as if they are
the greatest gift to mankind. BTW, give a listen to this years saregamapa,
specially Mohd Aman - I don't know who he has learned from but some of his
taans are like Ustad Salamat Ali Khan; he sings pure classical and most of
the bandishes are from Agra Gharana. Not sure how long he is there but
might as well savor his singing while it lasts.

Beautiful classical composition of SJ & the voices of Pt Bhimsen Joshi &

Padosan but wins from Bhimsen Joshi in Basant Bahar.

An anecdote of the narration of the great maestro Manna Dey is in order:
the maestro was chided by his beloved wife for seeking to hide away on a
holiday, as the prospect was imminent that he would have to match with
Pandit Bhimsen Joshi on this very song. But, Pandit Joshi was his greatest
help, however, for this song, like a guru, I believe. Now, aside, the story
line is my predicament: a disciple does not defeat his guru in public;
rather glorifies his art.

Manna Dey was the only one who could express any Raga and created the
atmosphere corresponding to the Raga, like in this one can always feel the
blooming flowers and the spring season. No other singer, playback singer or
a classical singer has/had such sweet voice and expression.
