Cinemaazi wishes Enoch Daniels a very happy birthday

Enoch Daniels wore many hats as a pianist, accordion player, and music arranger. He was born on this day in 1933 to a Catholic family in Pune. Both his family and the church played a significant role in forming his interest in music in his early years of childhood. In 1955, he moved to Bombay and struck his luck when he got to perform alongside Van Shipley across the nation and the globe. Daniels can be credited for popularizing the accordion here. He also worked in the troupe of renowned music composers like Shankar Jaikishan, Salil Chowdhury, S D Burman, Khayyam, and N Dutta. He worked as an arranger in popular films such as Pinjra (1972), Kabie Kabhie (1976) Choti Si Baat (1976), and Gauri (1986). Cinemaazi wishes him on his birthday!
