"If remix is done properly, it is good. Otherwise, it is just nonsense," he said during the launch of Shemaroo Entertainment's 'Ultimate Unremix', featuring original video songs of the veteran singer at Reliance Timeout.
"It is a new and different experience for me. Thanks to technology, such things are possible today. Sitting at home, my listeners can listen to old melodies", he said unveiling the first copy of the DVD.
Humming the lines of his most famous song Laga Chunari mein daag, chupaon kaise, he said "the song directed by late friend Roshan, is one of my most prized songs. It is one of the rare songs made for film. The song is a must at all my performances both in India and abroad".
"A difficult, classical melody, I put my heart and soul into the song. I have been singing for the past 60 years and whatever I have sung I have sung it with sincerity", said the nonagenarian stalwart.
Responding to a query on which song required a lot of effort on his part, the singer who is one of the harbingers of Hindustani classical music in Hindi films, said, "it is the song from Kabuliwala, Ae mere pyare watan, ae mere ujale chaman, tujh pe dil qurban.”
"I had to sing this song from one corner of my throat, to convey the beautiful sentiments expressed in it" Manna Dey said.
