♬ Kar Le Pyaar Kar Le Ke Din Hai Yahi

Of all of the Bollywood Steel Guitar singles that I have – and I have A LOT – this one might be the most obscure. The only information I have been able to find on this record is what little the sleeve has to offer, which isn’t much. The song titles are not even listed, not even on the record itself.

Luckily, the song is a fairly well know Bollywood tune: “Kar Le Pyaar Kar Le Ke Din Hai Yahi” sung by Asha Bhosle from the 1969 film Talash.

If you have any further information about this artist or anything else about this recording, please leave it in the comment section below.

Many thanks to Florian Pittner for playing “Name That Tune” for me.

Catalog number 134 on Bharati Record of Calcutta – now Kolkata – India. No release date listed.

As far as I know, Bannerjee is a very common Bengali name (and Manoj also seems to be a common Bengali first name), so I guess this musician was of Bengal origin. As a child, I happened to know a person with that exact same name (“Manoj Bannerjee”), but that was somebody else (a ship building engineer from Bengal, living in Germany). I remember he told me that Bannerjee is one of the most common names there.
