Remembering Burman
Legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar remembered the late composer R D Burman on his 72nd birth anniversary, recalling the first time she met the composer and the many amazing songs they recorded together.
“I remember the day when a 14-year-old boy came to me asking for my autograph.
It was R D Burman. His father S D Burman introduced me to him and said he was learning sarod. That was the first time I met R D Burman,” she said.
She remembered the day she first recorded a song with R D Burman and said, “Years later, I was approached to record a song for the film Chhote Nawab and I was surprised when I came to know that he (R D Burman) was composing the music for the film. When I heard the song, I was delighted by his composition. And then we went on to record some amazing songs together.”
