the best in a song. "When we compose
we know who will best sing it. Whether
it will suit a male or female voice."
Among the new crop of singers he feels
Amit Kumar will make good after
"Jawani". Shabbir Kumar and Penaaz
Masani are also sure to go far.[u]On the personal front R.D.is a twice
married man. He first took the plunge
in 1960 and was divorced in 1974. He
married Asha Bhosle in 1981.
