Happy Birthday Ravi Shankar
















Born April 7, 1920, today is RAVI SHANKAR's 86th birthday.

In August 1971, just after "The Concert For Bangla Desh" at Madison Square Garden, his first single on Apple Records (actually a 3-song EP) was released, produced by his buddy GEORGE HARRISON.


Here are the three songs:

JOI BANGLA

OH BHAUGOWAN

RAGA MISHRA-JHINJHOTI




I was trying to figure out a clever way to note that NORAH JONES is his daughter, but I just couldn't come up with anything, so I decided to just post a photo of her and leave it at that!

Happy birthday Ravi!
