Bappi Lahiri passed away at 69 as he breathed his last on Tuesday. He was one of the legendary singers in Bollywood and the industry has lost another gem after Lata Mangeshkar. Bappi Lahiri was fondly known as the disco king of Bollywood and he had given some iconic songs which had the nation grooving for a long time.
Today as we remember the legacy that Bappi Da has left behind, let us look at some of the all-time favourite disco songs which will never go out of style.
Koi Yahan Naache Naache – Disco Dancer
This is by the far an absolute chart-topper when it comes to disco songs by Bappi Lahiri. Koi Yahan Naache Naache is from the 1982 film Disco Dancer which was said to be inspired by the pop anthem – Radio Killed The Video Star by The Buggles. Usha Uthup and Bappi Lahiri gave the music industry an iconic gem for sure.
Jimmy Jimmy – Disco Dancer
Another hit from the Disco Dancer soundtrack was Jimmy Jimmy by Bappi Da. This song sure did give Mithun Chakraborty his nickname Jimmy.
Jawani Jaaneman – Namak Halaal
