His singing career spanned three decades of bollywood leading actors like Dev Anand, Shammi Kapoor, Amitabh Bachchan, Jeetendra etc..
On 31st July, the whole nation pays tribute to this great singer. He passed away when he was 56 years old in Mumbai. His last movie Aas Paas has his timeless song that echos through time and keeps his memory fresh.
His voice held the melody that suited any and every mood, be it romantic, sad, patriotic or fun song. He was mostly a classical singer, but managed to sing for actors like Shammi Kapoor who had many fun songs in all his films. Who can forget the song "yahoooo" from the movie "Junglee"?
