Veteran playback singer Bhupinder Singh, who sang scores of Bollywood numbers in his heavy bass voice, passed away on Monday evening.
Speaking to mid-day.com, music director-composer Lalit Pandit remembered him saying, “This is such a sad and shocking news! Bhuppiji, as we called him was a very close family friend. He had sung with my sister Sulakshana didi (Sulakshana Pandit) in movies and had also sung for me in my very first film Yaara Dildara. The song was ‘Hamare papa aur Hum, milakar rakkhen jo kadam` along with Amit kumar. He was a wonderful singer and one of the great guitarists who did many solo acoustic guitar pieces in Panchamda songs .Immortal songs like ‘Chingari koi bhadke,’ ‘Phoolon ka taronka’ and others had Bhupinderji playing the 12 string guitar solo pieces!”
