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

The lyrics of "Nadiya Chale Chale Re Dhara" can be interpreted as a song about the journey of life. The first stanza speaks of the movement of rivers and stars, both in their individual paths. The river is told that it has to keep moving, or it won't reach its destination. The second stanza speaks about the transient and unpredictable nature of life. The singer mentions that no matter how much of a storm or disaster strikes, the person shouldn't be afraid and should keep moving forward. The third stanza speaks about the journey of life again, where the person is told to leave all their troubles behind and move on towards their destination, even when things seem to be at a standstill.
Overall, the song highlights the theme of movement, both physically and mentally, and the need to keep moving forward in life, no matter the circumstances. The verses urge the person not to give up, and to keep trying to achieve their goals, offering hope and encouragement.

The stars keep moving
तुझको चलना होगा
You too must keep moving

Those who stopped were trapped in a whirlpool

Even a boat cannot go beyond the shore
बड़ी ही तेज़ समय की है धारा
The current of time is very fast
