Sachin Dev Burman (S.D. Burman) is a renowned classical Hindi music composer who is known for many melodious songs. He understood the technique ‘hummable’ in music so well that every song that he had composed remained close to music lover’s heart. He was distinguished from other famous Hindi music directors as he was very careful with the understanding of lyrics and gave close attention to the situation of the song. He even focused on the scene of the song that he composed. 

Burman also used folk music in his tunes. This composer actually made folk songs acceptable to the masses. He lent his baritone voice to many films that he had composed.

He also predicted that Manna Dey’s voice would not work for any heroes, and thus Manna Dey had to wait a long to get a chance to sing for a hero. 

Sachin Dev Burman gave a chance to Manna Dey to sing ‘"Poocho Na Kaise Maine" in raga Bhairav. It was a milestone in the career of Manna Dey. Similarly, he allowed Rafi to sing the song 'Nache Mora Manwa Magan' (which is a landmark in his career). He also tried his best to make Raj Kapoor sing a song, but that was not possible at all.
