RIP. He was a master, though not among the best. The masters are all but gone, and nobody's taking their places.

RIP maestro. I simply loved his work and used to have a huge collection on cassettes back in India. I also have many of his songs in my collection atm. Simply breathtaking!

ps: Does anyone have a copy of his rendition of Ganpati aarti "Tuja maanga to me aata"? IIRC, I had heard his rendition of this famous aarti originally sung by Lata Mangeshkar. Please please please......

We had a Vithoba mandir in our village (now a booming town), and they used to play & sing this song there! Ah memories!
