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

Manna Dey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
कह न इसे देना ज्वाला
फेनिल मदिरा है, मत इसको कह देना उर का छाला
दर्द नशा है इस मदिरा का
दर्द नशा है इस मदिरा का, विगत स्मृतियां साक़ी है
पीड़ा में आनन्द जिसे हो, आये मेरी मधुशाला
पीड़ा में आनन्द जिसे हो, आये मेरी मधुशाला
The lyrics of "Lal Sura Ki Dhar" explore the concept of alcoholism and its effects on the human body and mind. The song talks about the potency and strength of alcohol, represented by the image of a red stream flowing rapidly. The poet warns against the dangers of drinking too much alcohol, saying that it should not be given the power to create a fire within oneself.
The song also talks about the different forms of alcohol and their properties. The line "Phenil madira hai, mat isko keh dena ur ka chhala" means that alcohol is like a strong detergent and should not be taken lightly. The poet describes alcohol as a dangerous substance that can cause pain and addiction, represented by the line "Dard nasha hai is madira ka, vigat smritiyan saqi hai".
Despite the warnings, the poet acknowledges that there is a certain pleasure to be found in drinking alcohol. The line "Pida mein anand jise ho, aaye meri madhushala" suggests that some people find joy in their pain and suffering, and may turn to alcohol as a form of escape or comfort.
Overall, "Lal Sura Ki Dhar" is a deep and thoughtful exploration of the complex relationship between humans and alcohol.

Nirupam Paik
on Hridayer Gaan Shikhe To Gaay Go Sabai
কফি হাউসের সেই আড্ডাটা আজ আর নেই
আজ আর নেই...
কবি কবি চেহারা কাঁধেতে ঝোলানো ব্যাগ
মুছে যাবে অমলের নামটা
একটা কবিতা তার হোল না কোথাও ছাপা
পেলনা সে প্রতিভার দামটা
অফিসের সোশালে অ্যামেচার নাটকে
রমা রায় অভিনয় করতো
কাগজের রিপোর্টার মঈদুল এসে রোজ
কি লিখেছে তাই শুধু পড়তো
কফি হাউসের সেই আড্ডাটা আজ আর নেই
আজ আর নেই
কোথায় হারিয়ে গেল সোনালী বিকেলগুলো সেই
আজ আর নেই...
সেই সাত জন নেই
আজ টেবিলটা তবু আছে
সাতটা পেয়ালা অজোও খালি নেই
একই সে বাগানে আজ
এসেছে নতুন কুঁড়ি
শুধু সেই সেদিনের মালী নেই
কত স্বপনের রোদ ওঠে এই কফি হাউসে
কত স্বপ্ন মেঘে ঢেকে যায়
কত জন এল গেলো
কতজনই আসবে
কফি হাউসটা শুধু থেকে যায়
কফি হাউসের সেই আড্ডাটা আজ আর নেই
আজ আর নেই
কোথায় হারিয়ে গেল সোনালী বিকেলগুলো সেই
আজ আর নেই..

দুটি গান দুটি প্রাণ দুটি মন,
এই নিয়ে দুজনার এ ভুবন।
এ জীবন দেখেছিলো শরতের সোনার স্বপন,
সে সাধ অতীত আজ কাঁদে নিরালা
নিয়ে শুধু "বিজলির" দহন জ্বালা,
চকিত আলোয় তার আঁখি মোর দিশা যে হারায়।।
