About Manna Dey :-
Prabodh Chandra Dey (born May 1, 1919), better known by his nickname Manna Dey (Bengali: মানà§à¦¨à¦¾ দে Manna De), is one of the greatest playback singers of all time in Hindi films and other vernacular Indian films, especially Bengali.
Manna dey was born to Purna Chandra (father) and Mahamaya Dey (mother)on 1 May, 1919. Besides his parents, his youngest paternal uncle Sangeetacharya (meaning "Venerable Teacher of Music" in Sanskrit) K. C. Dey highly inspired and influenced him. Manna received his early education in a small pre-primary school named Indu Babur Pathshala. Thereafter he attended Scottish Church Collegiate School and Scottish Church College, followed by Vidyasagar College where he received his graduate education. From his childhood, Manna showed a keen liking for wrestling and boxing, and excelled in both sports. He has a jovial personality and likes to play pranks on people once in a while.
His experimentation with western music has produced some unforgettable melodies. He has recorded more than 3500 songs.
On December 18, 1953, Manna Dey married Sulochana Kumaran from Kerala. They have two daughters: Shuroma, born on October 19, 1956, and Sumita, born on June 20, 1958.
Manna Dey currently lives in Bangalore in the township of Kalyannagar after spending more than fifty years in Bombay. He also maintains a Calcutta address. He still travels widely in the world to present musical programs.
Renowned singer, Mohammad Rafi, once said to reporters: "You listen to my songs. I listen only to Manna Dey's songs".[citation needed] According to musicians Sachin Dev Burman and Anil Biswas, Manna Dey could sing any song of Mohammad Rafi, Kishore Kumar, Mukesh and Talat Mehmood.
Manna Dey has been honored with the titles Padma Shri and Padma Bhushan.

Lyrics :
laaga chunari mein daag
chunari mein daag chhupaun kaise
ghar jaun kaise
laaga chunari mein daag chhupaun kaise
laaga chunari mein daag
ho gayi maili mori chunariya
kore badan si kori chunariya
ho gayi maili mori chunariya
kore badan si kori chunariya
jaake babul se nazrein milaaun kaise ghar jaun kaise
laaga chunari mein daag chhupaun kaise
laaga chunari mein daag chhupaun kaise
laaga chunari mein daag
bhool gayi sab vachan bida ke
kho gayi main sasuraal mein aake
bhool gayi sab vachan bida ke
kho gayi main sasuraal mein aake
jaake babul se nazrein milaaun kaise ghar jaun kaise
laaga chunari mein daag
kori chunariya aatma mori
mail hai maaya jaal
kori chunariya aatma mori
mail hai maaya jaal
wo duniya more babul ka ghar
ye duniya sasuraal
haan jaake babul se nazrein milaaun kaise ghar jaun kaise
laaga chunari mein daag chhupaun kaise
laaga chunari mein daag chhupaun kaise
laaga chunari mein daag laaga chunari mein daag
