“After we recorded his song Aaj Ki Raat (from Anamika , 1973) on our Kronos Caravan CD, a friend of mine was interviewing Asha Bhosle. He played our version for her, and then he sent me a photograph of her singing along with our recording, while holding the jacket of the CD. That was about six years ago, and it was probably at that moment that I had this little idea: Wouldnt it be incredible if somehow we could have Asha Bhosle as our lead singer and record an album of R D Burmans music? In working with Asha Bhosle on Youve Stolen My Heart, Kronos has experienced not only Burmans living legacy, but also one of the most talented and generous artists I know of. Asha truly is the Queen of Bollywood.”
