This great singer was really known as Hemanta Mukherjee. He was born on the 16th of June 1920 in Varanasi. Right from his childhood he was in love with music. He has written his autobiography "Anand-dhara" where he mentions " I would always be on the lookout for a chance to sing . Be it a religious festival or just a family gathering I would enjoy singing any new song that I had picked up". 

He was the greatest of the great, a true all-rounder of Hindi film world. He could act, sing, compose music, direct movies and even wrote beautiful lyrics for some of his songs. But it's his singing ability that I adore the most. He was in my opinion the most versatile singer Hindi film world has produced . And you know what, this man didn't even have a training in music.
