Bhupiji’s voice was haunting. I always used to say he was blessed with a unique tonal quality.

When he would make me hear it, we would sometimes fight [as I would question his composition]. He would then tell me that I don’t understand. And sure enough, after the song was recorded, it sounded divine.
