I guess it's fair to say how Michael Jackson inspired so many people in the mianstreme (and Asian) music, Kuldeep Manak was the same to the Punjabi / Bhangra industry.
His song's have been covered & remixed so many times it's hard to say who's done a cover & who's done a remix, but it all goes down to show how popular the man was.
Below are a few words from the industry.
