Welcome to lots of memories of Assam and North-East India on this wonderful Koi-Hai website.
Koi-Hai means "who's there?" and was a phrase used by tea planters when they entered the bar at the Planters Clubs in India.

Calcutta song below -
"Calcutta" stayed a the top of the US pop chart for two weeks while the album, with its combination of easy listening tunes and covers of then-popular rock singles, charted at #1 for two weeks,[2] spending three months on the chart. At the time "Calcutta" reached #1, Welk, who was 57, became the oldest artist to have a number one pop single in the U.S. (His record would be broken three years later by Louis Armstrong who at age 63 topped the singles charts with "Hello, Dolly!" in early 1964.) "Calcutta" was also a hit on the Hot R&B Sides chart, where it peaked at #10.[3] |
