Bappi Lahiri passes away: From Yaad Aa Raha Hai to Ooh La La, a playlist of singer’s greatest hits of all time

Bappi Lahiri is credited as a pioneer of synthesised disco music in Indian cinema during the 1970s to 1990s with songs like 'I am a disco dancer', 'Jimmy Jimmy', 'Intehaan ho gayi', 'Tamma Tamma Loge', 'Yaar bina chain kahan re', and 'Aaj rapat jaaye to', among others.

Bappi Lahiri, often mimicked and taken less seriously owing to his quirks, gave India a new sound
