This guy was an unusual composer and producer of music in England. Born in Bangalore, migrated to England and launched many hits, including Kung Fu Fighting, and albums by Tina Charles among others.
The hit album Disco Deewane launched Nazia Hasan and Zoheb Hasan into an orbit of fame, across India and Pakistan. Around the same time, Feroz Khan used a song by Nazia tuned by him, in the fil Qurbani. That song, Aap jaisa koi meri zindagi mein aaye, to baat ban jaaye, became a rage, along with Laila main laila, both filmed on Zeenat Aman.
He popularised disco as a genre, and left a lasting legacy.

interesting that you wrote about him.. I saw him interviewed in a 'Beatles and India' documentary on an in-flight item. He used to play their cover titles before forming his band.
