“My Dad’s music touched millions of people. He will be greatly missed by me and music lovers everywhere,” said Norah in a statement to The Wall Street Journal.
Jones also talked to CBS News about her dad: “I remember when I found out that John Coltrane(American jazz saxophonist) had come to him once to study….That impressed me at the time, more than the George Harrison(English musician) thing just because I was such a jazz nerd. But you know it’s all amazing. He’s inspired a lot of musicians.”
The private life of Shankar was bit complicated. An affair with Sue Jones, a New York concert producer, led to the birth of Norah Jones in the year 1979. The father-daughter relationship witnessed several ups and downs at various points of time. Norah spent a major part of her life with her mother only.
Norah was given the birth name ‘Geetali’, by her father, the name which has the meaning “song" or "melodious" and it proved apt for her as she grew up embracing the musical world. This uniquely talented and elegantly beautiful musician has won Grammy awards nine times and was recognized as the 60th-best-selling music artist of the 2000–2009 decade by Billboard’s magazine. Her album ‘Come Away with me’ was widely accepted and created record selling of more than 20 million copies along with getting certified as diamond album.
