Mumbai, Mar 19 (UNI) Sudesh Bhosale, who shot to fame as the 'voice of Amitabh Bachchan' is also one of the very few singers who can sing in the late S D Burman's voice, a quality that endeared him to Asha Bhonsle and the late R D Burman.

Little wonder then that the actor who is not only known for his songs for Bachchan but also for mimicking a whole lot of actors and singers, features in Asha's latest album 'A Tribute to RD'.

Sudesh Bhosale has sung 12 songs in Asha's album 'Cha Cha Cha.' ''It is something I am extremely proud of and honoured to be part of because it is a very prestigious album for me. I was also part of her album 'Rahul' and 'I' a few years ago. I think the fact that despite so many singers around, she chose me to sing with her is a matter of pride for me,'' he said during an interaction with reporters here today.

The actor who's been in the industry for the past 25 years says that while his talent has got him all the success, it also has got him a lot of sadness ''especially when music composers make me sing in somebody's voice but do not give me credit for it''. ''All I need is acknowledgement and credit for my work,'' he rues.

He says that being 'Bachchan's voice' has really contributed to his career, but there are ''times when some songs which I have sung for him get passed off as his voice''.

''And in the music industry if I ask for my due credit, the producer passes the buck to the music company and vice versa, so I have just tried to live with this.'' Bhosale, who started off as a singer in an orchestra nearly two decades ago, is also a fine painter and a sketch artist. A multi-faceted personality, Bhosale says he's indebted to '' Ashaji and R D Burmansaab who took me to all their shows and gave me a chance to showcase my talent. Same with Amitji who always blessed me and appreciated the fact that I could sing in his voice''.
