MUMBAI (ANI) – Known as the ‘Disco King’ of the Indian music industry, Bappi Lahiri’s contributions to the music industry have been etched into our hearts.

Bappi Da, as he was fondly addressed, made more than 9,000 songs during his time in the industry. And 1986 happened to be his year. In 1986, Bappi Da sang 180 songs in 33 films which got him in the Guinness Book of World Records!
