Mr. V. K. Dubey, one of the pioneers of the music industry and a revered veteran passed away in Mumbai on Saturday, 6 November. Dubey saab, as he was fondly called, had a long innings at Radio Ceylon and HMV, and was a much respected personality. He shared a close relationship with the legendary composers, lyricists and artistes and his contribution to their albums will always be remembered. Some of the most memorable devotional and ghazal albums and live concert recordings were conceived and produced by him.

He was a dear friend of Madanji's and very close to the family. We will always remember him fondly.
