Born on July 1, 1930, in Pune, Date carved a niche for himself in the world of Indian music over a career spanning several decades. His songs and albums have not only been cherished in Maharashtra but also across the Indian subcontinent and by the Marathi diaspora worldwide.

Date's ability to convey profound emotions through his nuanced vocal delivery earned him the affectionate title of "The Golden Voice of Maharashtra."
