His songs have been sampled by music bands abroad and reprised in latter-day Hindi films. His composition
Jimmy Jimmy Aaja Aaja became a rage in many countries. His name appears in the Guinness Book of World Records for composing 180 songs in a single year (1986). He has trademarked his look and unfailingly maintains it in every public appearance. His gold ornaments and pendants make him a walking jewellery store. He is the big daddy of disco in Hindi films.
Bappi Lahiri’s flashy, unabashed public persona has been fodder for the media.
