Business tycoon Anand Mahindra paid tribute to former home minister, Robert Garnett Lyngdoh as he shared his rendition of the song “Corinne, Corinna”.
In a tweet following the demise of Lyngdoh, Mahindra mentioned that Lyngdoh used to carry a harp in his pocket. He passed away on July 29 after succumbing to cancer.
The video shared by Mahindra shows Lyngdoh singing the hit Ray Peterson track. In the middle of the clip, he takes out his harmonica and starts playing.
“Robert Lyngdoh, ex Home Minister of Meghalaya. Always carried his harmonica (harp) in his pocket. Just 62, he lost a battle with cancer & passed away on the 29th. Didn’t know him but wish we could have had him do a cameo at the @Mahindra blues R.I.P Bob. A Bluesman forever…,” Mahindra tweeted.
In the comment section of the tweet, a user commented, “Bah Bob or Bobby was not only eternally at harmony with his harmonica but also an infectiously witty and fearless politician who had amazing calming effect on generations of extremists in Meghalaya.”
“What a homage to the great man, he was indeed a gifted artist , musician and a Statesman . He resonated with people of all ages, Meghalaya and the nation has lost a great man the world will be a lesser place without him. May his soul rest in Eternal Peace,” another user said.
