On an international scale, his most famous work features prominently in Gurinder Chadha's film Bend It Like Beckham. He worked together with Amitabh Bachchan for a musical rendition of Harivansh Rai Bachchan's poetry and produced Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's album Magic Touch.
Bally Sagoo has acquired many designations, to mention a few, “Godfather of Bhangra”; “The mix-master”; “One of UK’s top 10 Asian Success Stories”. It’s taken a lot for Sagoo to acquire these titles and his story starts back in the 1980’s when he felt there was no funky Indian music. Living in the ghetto areas of Birmingham UK, he soon got a taste for black music. Motown, reggae and soul were the type of music he wanted to hear. Sagoo began a personal crusade to fill the void. He knew if he succeeded he would make his mark in history….

यह जान भी तुम्हारी है
दिल चीज़ है क्या जाना
यह जान भी तुम्हारी है
तेरी बाहों मैं दम निकले
तेरी बाहों मैं दम निकले
हसरत यह हमारी है
दिल चीज़ है क्या जाना
रोती हूँ तड़पति हूँ
बुझती ही नहीं ज़ालिम
रोती हूँ तड़पति हूँ
बुझती ही नहीं ज़ालिम
रोती हूँ तड़पति हूँ
बुझती ही नहीं ज़ालिम
रोती हूँ तड़पति हूँ
बुझती ही नहीं ज़ालिम
इक रात जुदाई की
इक रात जुदाई की
सौ रात से भारी है
दिल चीज़ है क्या जाना
यह जान भी तुम्हारी है
घूम इश्क़-ओ-मोहब्बत के
चलो पूँछ ले सादिक़ से
घूम इश्क़-ओ-मोहब्बत के
चलो पूँछ ले सादिक़ से
घूम इश्क़-ओ-मोहब्बत के
चलो पूँछ ले सादिक़ से
घूम इश्क़-ओ-मोहब्बत के
चलो पूँछ ले सादिक़ से
इक बाज़ी मोहब्बत की
इक बाज़ी मोहब्बत की
उस शख्स ने हारी है
दिल चीज़ है क्या जाना
यह जान भी तुम्हारी है
तेरी बाहों मैं दम निकले
तेरी बाहों मैं दम निकले
हसरत यह हमारी है
दिल चीज़ है क्या जाना
यह जान भी तुम्हारी है
दिल चीज़ है क्या जाना
यह जान भी तुम्हारी है

यह जान भी तुम्हारी है
दिल चीज़ है क्या जाना
यह जान भी तुम्हारी है
दिल चीज़ है क्या जाना

People who often way ahead of their time are misunderstood and sometimes hated by media. People realize later that these artists were gems.
