Today's story is from Guru James

The Dhaka Times Desk His father was the Chairman of Chittagong Education Board; Father also thought that his son should be educated like him. But the boy has a stubborn nature. Who doesn't like studying, likes only to sing.

Young James left the house because his father did not let him sing! Aziz left the house and boarded in Chittagong. From where we got the biggest rock star of Bangladesh!

প্রথমে ফিলিংস দিয়ে শুরু এরপরে নগরবাউল দিয়ে এখন সবার ‘গুরু’ জেমস! গানের টানে ঢাকায় আসা। আশির দশকের মাঝামাঝি প্রথম অ্যালবাম ‘স্টেশান রোড’ প্রকাশিত হয়! কিন্ত খুব বেশী সাড়া ফেলা গেলনা। এরপরে ‘অনন্যা’ আসে। সেই অ্যালবাম মোটামুটি শ্রোতাপ্রিয়তা পায়। সবচেয়ে বড় চমক নিয়ে আসে জেমস। ‘জেল থেকে বলছি’ অ্যালবাম দিয়ে নিজের জানান দিয়ে দেয় জেমস ও নগরবাউল।

Everyone knows the next story. He gave us one great song after another and became our biggest rock star. How many song names can be mentioned in James? All his songs are melodious. He is such a singer that I love to hear anything in his voice. That is why he is a guru.

ভারতেও বেশ জনপ্রিয়তা লাভ করেছেন জেমস। ‘ভিগি ভিগি’ ‘আলবিদা’ ‘চল চলে’ এর মতো জনপ্রিয় কিছু গান উপহার দিয়েছন।

The legendary Farooq Mahfuz Anam James was born on this day in 1964.

Dear James, you are a rockstar who created a different generation of listeners. Those who are immersed in your music. From the rich to the poor, from five-star hotels to street corner tong shops, you are popular with audiences everywhere. The group of mischievous boys who grew up listening to your music from childhood will never forget you. You are nobility wrapped in an achievement of leaving home and fulfilling your dreams. You are a true rockstar.

Happy Birthday Guru. Wishing you long life.
