This boys dreadful tragedy. I can still remember well The colour of his skin was black and his name was Emmett Till. Some men they dragged him to a barn and there they beat him up. They said they had a reason, but I can’t remember what they tortured him and did some evils things too evil to repeat. There are screaming sounds inside the barn. There was laughing sounds out on street. Then they rolled his body down a gulf amidst a bloody red rain And they throw him in the waters wide to cease his screaming pain. The reason that they killed him there and I’m sure it ain’t no lie was just.

Jaganmoy Mitra was born in a family of rich landowners. His family had no desire to see him become a professional singer, and hence, he had to face strong opposition in becoming one. His quest for a guru continued till Dilip Kumar Roy of Pondicherry chanced to hear him. RoyÕs tutelage and JaganmoyÕs untiring efforts yielded fruit. In 1937, he won the All Bengal Music Competition. The following year, he was adjudged the best Kheyal singer in the All India Music Competition. JaganmoyÕs first disc was released in 1939 and he never looked back. He was known as the father of the Hindi Geet. By the mid-forties, Tagore songs rendered by him had made him a household name throughout Bengal. He was appointed as examiner for music by the Calcutta University. In the early-fifties, at the peak of his popularity, Jaganmoy left for Bombay following ideological differences with the Gramophone Company. After his success as music director in the film Sardar, he was flooded with offers. But he kept his distance from the film world. Jaganmoy was awarded the Padmashree in the late-nineties in recognition of his contribution to Bengali modern songs. 5
