Manna Dey's Assamese songs were very popular: Gogoi

Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi today said Manna Dey's voice won over hearts of many generations in the last few decades.

Besides thousands of songs in Hindi, Bengali and other languages, Dey's Assamese songs were also very popular among people, Gogoi said in a condolence message to the singer's family.

"It is an irreparable loss to the country's music, more particularly to film music," Gogoi said.
