Sachin Dev Burman started his career in the early part of this century around 1926/27 as a radio artist in Calcutta. He had an extremely productive and hugely successful innings, both in Bombay and Calcutta, that ended with his death in 1975. In this period spanning almost 50 years, Dada gave the music for about 89 Hindi Films 10 Bengali Films and sang and composed about 200 Hindi and Bangla non-film songs.While a large chunk of Dada’s latter day output is easily available his earlier music is hard to come by. In this section we will try to accumulate as much information as we have on Dada’s output for the benefit of collectors of his music and also those seeking statistics. The process is ongoing and we will keep updating this site and improving and adding to the information.
