Singer Bombay S Kamal
Veteran singer and music composer Bombay S. Kamal, an active presence in the field of music for the past six decades, passed away here late Monday. He was 85. Mr. Kamal, who was born in Mumbai, had been singing the songs of Mohammed Rafi from the age of seven, after a meeting with veteran Ustad Moin Khan introduced him to his first strains of music. He settled in Kerala after an acquaintance with iconic composer M.S. Baburaj, often credited with the renaissance of Malayalam film music. The foray of Mr. Kamal into Malayalam music, with the blessings of Baburaj, began with the background music for the 1979 release Evide En Prabhatham and continued till songs like ‘ Chalo Chalo…’ in Major Ravi’s Kurukshetra. Mr. Kamal donned the greasepaint in a few movies as well, including the Suresh Gopi-starrer Bharat Chandran, IPS. He had conducted several music programmes and scored music for films, television serials, and professional dramas. He was suffering from respiratory ailments and was in the intensive care unit of a private hospital here for the last four days.
