Jaganmoy Mitra – that is the name behind the voice of such incredible gems as “Ye Na Bataa Sakoonga Main, Dil Ko Hai Tum Se Pyaar Kyun”, “Aankhon Mein Basaa Mann Hai Mera, Mann Mein Basaa Kaun”, “Meri Aankhen Bani Deewaani” , “Sapnon Mein Mujhko Pyaar Milaa”, and so many more non-film and film songs, that will never fail to tickle the heart and move the listener to feel the emotion behind the words. For more than seven decades, the treasures of his voice have pleased discerning listener’s of many generations. A voice that always kept to classical and semi classical consistency, and then faded away from the mainline singing for films, around the mid 50s. Yet, his popularity has not waned. Limited maybe, the treasure of his singing gems, but his name evokes a pleasant attachment, whenever his songs are played.

In the 30s and 40s, legendary singers like K C Dey, K L Saigal and Pankaj Mullick with their Hindi film and non-film songs mesmerized not only the people of Bengal but the whole of India. In fact,it was the K L Saigal-Pankaj Mullick duo who ruled the music scene in Calcutta (Kolkatta) in the 1940s. It was during this time that a new singer emerged in Calcutta who, with his solo song ‘o varsha ke pehle baadal meraa sandesaa le jaana’ in the film MEGHDOOT (1945) impressed the listeners very much. This song became the most popular song of the film. The singer was none other than Jagmohan Sursagar, born as Jaganmoy Mitra. The popularity of this song resulted in a collaboration of Jagmohan-Faiyyaz Hashmi-Kamal Das Gupta trio in bringing out some of the finest non-film Hindi songs which became even more popular than their filmy songs.
