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

Roop Tumhara Ankhon Se
Manna Dey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
कह दो अगर तुम मर के भी जी लूँ
मर के भी जी लूँ
रूप तुम्हारा आँखों से पी लूँ
कह दो अगर तुम मर के भी जी लूँ
मर के भी जी लूँ
आँखों से छलके तेरी अमृत की धारा
मिले दोनों हम तुम जैसे लहर से किनारा
रूप तुम्हारा आँखों से पी लूँ
कह दो अगर तुम मर के भी जी लूँ
मर के भी जी लूँ
निगाहें झुका के फिर से ज़रा मुस्कुरा दो
काँपते लबों से दिल की कहानी सुना दो
क्या है तुम्हारे दिल में हमें भी बता दो
रूप तुम्हारा आँखों से पी लूँ
कह दो अगर तुम मर के भी जी लूँ
मर के भी जी लूँ
The lyrics to Manna Dey's song "Roop Tumhara Ankhon Se" express a love so intense that the singer is willing to live even in death, as long as they have the beauty of their lover to sustain them. The opening lines "Roop tumhara ankhon se pee loon, kah do agar tum mar ke bhi jeeloong" declare the singer's desire to drink in their partner's beauty through their eyes and live on that essence, even if it means dying with that image in their mind. The repetition of the phrase "mar ke bhi jeeloong" emphasizes the depth of their passion.
The following lines express the singer's gratitude for the presence of their lover in their life. The imagery of a stream of nectar flowing from their eyes and the comparison of their love to the shore meeting the waves add to the romantic feel of the song. The third verse speaks to the yearning for communication that can be a crucial part of love. The singer urges their partner to smile once again, to share the story of their heart through trembling lips, and to reveal what lies in their heart.
Overall, the song is a beautiful tribute to the power of love and the soul-stirring effect it can have.

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।।
