He received his initial training under his legendary uncle Krishna Dey. Later he migrated to Mumbai to gain foothold in Hindi cinema.
Mention of this great singer immediately brings into mind such unforgettable classical-based melodies as Bhai bhanjana, Sur na saje, Pucho na keise maine, Chham Chham baje re payaliya. In fact, whenever composers used to have a great classical composition in their minds, they would invariably take Manna Dey.
Interestingly, in spite of his solid classical background, he was equally at ease in all types of songs, be it Romantic - Yeh raat bheegi bheegi, Jaha bhi jaati hoon wohi chali aati ho, Dil ki girah khol do, Saanjh dhali; peppy - Aao twist karen; folksy - Chalata musafir moh liya re, door hain kinara; sad - Kasme Wade pyar wafa sab, Tum bin jeevan keisa jeevan; funny - Khali dabba khali botol, mere bhais ko danda; quali - Ai mere johra jevin, Yaari hain imaan mera; spiritual- Laaga chuneri mein daag; or philosophical - Zindegi keisi hain paheli, Tum besahara ho to; ghazal - Neino se yon baat kare.
One unique contribution is his famous rendition in music of the equally famous Madhushala written by Dr. Haribans Rai Bachchan the father of equally illustrious Amitabh Bachchan.
He is a composer in his own right, composing mostly in Bengali innumerable hit songs.
Readers may contribute their view in this regard and build up voice to urge upon the Indian Government in this regard.
Real great Review

हाय किसने चिलमन से मारा
अरे नज़ारा मुझे किसने चिलमन से मारा
नज़ारा मुझे किसने चिलमन से मारा
बिखेरे बाल जब वो
बिखेरे बाल जब वो
बिखेरे बाल जब वो
चले जब चले जब हाय
चले जब नाज से ज़ालिम
क़यामत भी क़दम चूमे
क़यामत भी क़दम चूमे
हाँ पग में पायल डाल के
घूँघट नयन झुकाए
बिन बादल की दामिनी
बिन बादल की दामिनी
चमकत लचकत जाय
चमकत लचकत जाय
चमकत लचकत जाय
चमकत लचकत जाय
फिर ना देखा हाय
फिर ना देखा ना देखा ना देखा
ना देखा
अरे फिर ना देखा
पलट के दुबारा मुझे
फिर ना देखा
पलट के दुबारा मुझे
किसने चिलमन से
हाय किसने चिलमन से मारा
सीने में दिल है दिल में दाग
दागों में सोज़ ओ साद ए इश्क
सीने में दिल है
अरे वाह सीने में दिल है
दिल में दाग
दागों में सोज़ ओ साद ए इश्क
परदा बापर्दा है पिनहा
परदानशीं का राज़ ए इश्क
परदा बापर्दा अरे वाह
परदा बापर्दा वाह वाह
परदा बापर्दा अरे मौला
परदा बापर्दा है पिनहा
परदानशीं का राज़ ए इश्क
जतन मिलन का तब करूँ
नाम पता जब होय
एक झलक बस
एक झलक दिखलाय
के कर गई पागल मोय
कर गई पागल मोय
कर गई पागल मोय
कर गई पागल मोय
मेरे दिल मेरे दिल मेरे दिल
अरे मेरे दिल ने तड़पकर
हाय मेरे दिल ने तड़पकर
अरे पुकारा मुझे
मेरे दिल ने तड़पकर
मेरे दिल ने तड़पकर पुकारा मुझे
किसने अरे किसने किसने किसने

The song "Are Kisne Chilman Se Mara" has a romantic and melancholic tone as the singer laments about lost love. The opening lines suggest that someone has hurt him deeply, and he cannot fathom who it might be. He is in a state of confusion and desperation as he questions who inflicted the pain on him. He then goes on to describe a beautiful moment between him and his lover when she let her hair down, and the clouds danced in the sky. The use of the phrase "qayamat bhi qadam choome" suggests that the moment was so magical that even the apocalypse would have bowed down to it.
The singer then describes his lover's beauty in detail, mentioning her anklets, veil, and the way her eyes glistened. The lines "sine mein dil hai, dil mein daag" suggest that he may have some reservations about her character, but he still loves her. He then talks about how love is often hidden behind a veil, and only those who are willing to go to great lengths to find it are rewarded with it.
The song evokes strong emotions of love, longing, and heartache. Manna Dey's powerful voice adds depth to the lyrics, making it a timeless classic. Overall, the song beautifully captures the complexities of love and the pain that comes with it.

बिखेरे बाल जब वो
When he let his hair down
आसमानों पर घटा झूमे
And the clouds danced in the sky
चले जब चले जब हाय
When he walked, oh when he walked!
चले जब नाज से ज़ालिम
When he walked with pride, oh cruel one!
क़यामत भी क़दम चूमे
Even doomsday trembled at his feet
हाँ पग में पायल डाल के
With ankle bells on his feet
घूँघट नयन झुकाए
His veil covering his eyes, he bowed down
बिन बादल की दामिनी
Without the aid of a cloud
चमकत लचकत जाय
He sparkled and twinkled

Never saw again, oh
