Sometime in 1982, long after Saturday Night Fever had taken the world by storm, a sprightly young man made an electrifying entry on stage to confidently ask the house-full audience, 'Will you sing with me?'
Clad in a funky 'n' fringed gold costume, his enthusiastic query was met with thundering affirmation.

Twenty six years later, son Mimoh is all set to follow in his disco-dandy dad's footsteps with his debut, Jimmy, releasing on May 9.
Going by the promos, Chakraborty Jr, with his straightened and highlighted mane, has his own power-packed rhythmic pattern and dynamic body language to boast of.
