Pandit Bhimsen Gururaj Joshi ( pronunciation (help·info)); February 4, 1922 – January 24, 2011) was an Indian vocalist in the Hindustani classical tradition. A member of the Kirana Gharana (school), he is renowned for the khayal form of singing, as well as for his popular renditions of devotional music (bhajans and abhangs). He was the most recent recipient of the Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilian honour, awarded in 2008.
Joshi was born into a Kannadiga family in the town of Ron, which was then in Dharwar, District in northern Karnataka state of India. His father, Gururaj Joshi, was a school teacher. Bhimsen was the eldest in a family of 16 siblings. Some of the siblings still live in their ancestral home in Gadag. Bhimsen lost his mother when he was young, and his step mother then raised him. His parents lived initially with his grandfather as tenants of a Kulkarni household, but then moved to Gadag (now a district headquarter).
As a child, Pandit Bhimsen Joshi's craving for music was evident to his family as he managed to lay his hands on a 'tanpura' used by his 'Kirtankar' grandfather, which had been kept away from his gaze at home. Music had such a magnetic pull over him that a 'bhajan singing' procession or just 'azaan' from a nearby mosque was said to draw him out of house.

Genres: Drama,Alright, this time you worked me over
Cold spite, can this be all that I need
It's a feeling, and it won't leave me alone
I keep searching for love
Hearts turned to stone
Can't stop this endless dreaming, should have known from
the start
No way to break your scheming heart
Your love is gone, I see it fading away
Love burns the soul, I know where heartache remains
Sometimes when I think of what you mean to me
Look back, faces are all that I see
But the feeling, it won't leave me alone
I keep searching for love
Hearts turned to stone
Can't stop this endless dreaming, should have known from
the start
No way to break your scheming heart
Your love is gone, I see it fading away
Love burns the soul, I know where heartache remains
