Padmashree & Padmabhushan awards winner Manna Dey (real name Prabodh Chandra Dey) is an excellent
singer and has sung a variety of songs ranging from classical to light comedic, bhajans, ghazals and sad songs in several
languages. I am not going to attempt to give much information on him because others have already done so. An example is a
site created by his fans which you can find by clicking on the following link:

Manna Dey sang for Rajesh Khanna who played the title role Anand. This was the first movie
for which Amitabh Bachchan received recognition by fans and many people mistakenly think Anand to be his first movie. In this
clip you mostly see Rajesh Khanna but there is a glimpse of Amitabh Bachchan and Sumita Sanyal.

Manna Dey sang for Raj Kapoor who is disguised as an old man. The video starts with dialogue
between Nutan & Pran and Nutan singing the first lines of another song from this movie. Nutan had a lovely voice as is
evident in this clip. I am told the dancer is Padmini Priyadarshini, a classical dancer. Her dancing is definitely beautiful.
