Bhisham asked me to recommend someone, so I told him about this young boy who came to meet me and played some interesting Bengali music

Bappi started his career on the first day that he [arrived] in Mumbai. He was a couple of years younger than me when I met him. He was 20. I had heard that BR Ishara had signed him for the background music of his movie Charitra, which launched Parveen Babi and Salim Durrani. Bappi knew the Mukerji family and got a film with them. In those days, Bappi and his parents would meet producers at their offices, and one day, he dropped in at Navketan. I asked him to sing something for me.
