Legendary singer Manna Dey passed away on Thursday at the
age of 94.

Bangalore - Legendary playback singer Manna Dey died at a
city hospital early today after prolonged illness.

Manna Dey, 94, who was admitted to Narayana Hrudayalaya
five months ago for respiratory problems, died of cardiac
arrest at 3:50 AM, a senior doctor at the hospital said.

His daughter Shumita Deb and his son-in-law Jnanranjan
Deb were by his bedside when the end came, his family
said.

Manna Dey is survived by two daughters, one of whom is
based in the US.

"We are saddened by his loss, but he died peacefully. His
last rites will be performed later in the day," his son-
in-law said.

Deb said Manna Dey's body will be kept for public homage
at Ravindra Kalakshetra in Bangalore.

Born in Kolkata in 1919, Dey, winner of the prestigious
Dadasaheb Phalke award was residing in Bangalore after
spending more than fifty years in Mumbai.

Having recorded more than 3,500 songs in a number of
languages including Hindi and Bengali, he had cast a
spell on generations of listeners with his romantic
ballads, intricate raga-based songs, Qawwalis and fast-
paced modern numbers, lending his voice to a number of
Hindi and Bengali film stars.

His popular tracks include Poocho Na Kaise Maine (Meri
Surat Teri Aankhen), Ae Meri Zohra Jabeen (Waqt), Zindagi
Kaisi Hai Paheli(Anand), Yeh Dosti (Sholay) and Ek Chatur
Naar (Padosan) and Laga Chunari Mein Daag (Dil Hi Toh
Hai) among others.
