No offence intended, but my sentiments and my preferences are exactly opposite. I believe Manna Da’s voice is just the right one for such kind of songs. I am sure the seasoned music directors used his voice for specific songs becaue they knew the qualities of his voice, better than us, I dare say.
Whatever one many write about Manna Da’s voice, one can simply not fault him for lack of versatility. Comparisons are not necessary, nor will comparisons be just.

Yes Pradeepbhai,
Every NRI will cry listening to this song.
Manna Dey’s range-
Ae mere pyaare watan, Kasme waade pyaar- Laga chunari mein daag, Ketki gulab juhi (singing against Pt. Bhimsen Joshi), Poochho na kaise maine rain bitaayi, Chham chham baaje re paayaliya, Kaun aaya mere man ke dwaare- Bhai bhajana vandana sun hamari, Tu pyaar ka saagar hai, – Pyar hua ikraar hua hai, ye raat bigi bhigi, – Ae meri zohra jabeen, – Pyaar ki aag mein tan badan jal gaya, Ek chatur naar karke sringar, Jodi hamati jamega kaise…..
List can continue with many songs, many varieties. His range from patriotic, classical, bhajan, romantic (for Raj Kapoor), qawwali to comedy songs was just mind blowing.

Manna Dey was one of those unsung heroes. Khyati Ji, you have almost given a mini discography of Manna Dey saab :).

This is a rip off parody of very famous Bhairavi none other by Ustad Faiyyaz Khansaheb (Banao Batiya….)…and Manna da does an excellent job as situation demands. I really found it fantastic….there are even subtle hints of Bol Baant….

With no offend to Mannada, his voice does not suit these type of songs. In other words he has no verstality in his voice as Rafi and Kishore, he was as plain as Mukesh.

I felt that way when I was in my pre teens and teens. Now I feel far more respectful towards Manna Dey’s singing abilities. In any case I do not think one needs to compare among singers to prove someone better than others. Every singer has his own unique features that are God given and cannot be replicated or taught. It is naive to believe that Mukesh (for instance) was limited in his singing abilities. He had a rich voice that many classically trained singers do not have. There were dimensions and nuances in his singing voice that cannot be taught/replicated. It is the uniqueness in the voices plus other qualities (that go well beyond the grammar of singing) that make a singer what he is.

In the words of dhrupad maestro ram chatur mallick, singers voice are god gifted, it is like Tulsi leaves, small or big, it has same value. The godly voice must be respected. Even if one singer has one value he can be cherished of, he is representing work of god.

I would prefer to differ from you. I find that his voice did have many nuances to it. Come to appreciate him more and more. I think SDB has made good use of his voice here and also in sanjh dhali.

Goelji,
Aap Rasgulla, Gulabjamun aur Rasmalai ki tulnaa ek doosre ke saath kar rahe ho. Galat kar raho ho. Even though they are made of mawa and sugar only, they have their own “taste/flavor”. If I don’t like one sweet doesn’t mean it has a bad taste. I would rather say, it doesn’t suit my taste.
Just imagine, Rose, Champaka, Jasmin has same fragrance! Achha hai na ki Bhagwaan ne hamare liye is phool ko alag alag khushboo di hai.
Please don’t feel bad, these are just my thoughts. Hope you would cherish Manna Da’s next song as his own fragrance/flavor just like you do Rafi, KK, Mukesh or any other singer. 🙂

Goelji,
aapka shayad classical music ka vishesh gyan nahi hai, isiliye aap aisa comment kiye hai Manaa Dey ke upar.
If you say Manna Dey had a plain voice, then who ? Rafi, Kishore, Manna, Mukesh ….each is a stalwart….None is less than any other…
