For those rooted in the magic of RD, the singers that come to mind immediately are Asha
& Lata, Kishore & Rafi. Yet, when you hear something like
"Mastana Hoye" from "Chandan ka Palna", one can not help wondering about
the musical equation that RD shared with Manna Dey.
By the
time RD started composing music independently, Manna Dey was already
well established - more so for the songs with classical base.
RD also
used Manna Dey's voice for some of the numbers based on classical music.
Yet the first song that Manna Dey sang for RD was an out and out
western tune - partially inspired by Chubby Chucker's "Come, lets Twist Again" - one of the contemporary hits of
those time. The music, despite being inspired, had that uniqueness and style which only RD could have had.
If you would like to check Chubby Chucker's number, given below is the link:

Meanwhile, let us twist on this number from "Bhoot Bangla".
