Legendary singer Bhupinder Singh died on Monday in Mumbai at a city hospital. He was 82. The gifted singer has a voice that was unmistakable and over his career that spanned several decades, Bhupinder Singh was able to breathe life into ghazals as easily as he belted out foot-tapping Bollywood numbers. With solo tracks and duets alongside names such as Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhonsle, Bhupinder Singh leaves behind a body of work that is versatile and remarkable in equal measure. And, it is not just as a singer that Bhupinder Singh left a mark. He was also a guitarist for iconic songs such as Dum Maaro Dum and Chura Liya Hai.
Here's a list of five of Bhupinder Singh's evergreen songs
1. Huzoor Is Kadar Bhi Na Itra Ke Chaliye
This lovely ghazal is romantic and fun in equal measure, with Bhupinder Singh's silken voice adding beauty to the sublime lyrics by Gulzar. The composition by RD Burman appears in the classic Masoom and features Shabana Azmi and Naseeruddin Shah.
2. Dil Dhoondta Hai
Another song that brings together Gulzar's words and Bhupinder Singh's inimitable vocals is Dil Dhoondta Hai. The classic song is composed by Madan Mohan from Mausam. And, it remains timeless.
3. Naam Goom Jayega
This iconic track needs no introduction. The duet by Lata Mangeshkar and Bhupinder Singh from Kinara is one of RD Burman's greatest creations with lyrics by Gulzar.
4. Beeti Na Bitai Raina
The song from Parichay is another Lata Mangeshkar and Bhupinder Singh duet that has withstood the test of time. Interestingly, this too is a Gulzar-RD Burman collaboration.
5. Ek Akela Is Shaher Mein
Ek Akela Is Shaher Mein sums up the trials and triumphs of finding oneself as life takes unexpected turns. Bhupinder Singh's emotive rendition is what keeps the 1977 song a fan favourite across generations.
