He stormed the market with over 250 million hit sales of which 175 million came from India alone. He later combined with greats such as Surinder Shinda doing live sets.
Punjabi singer Babbu Maan paid respects to Bindrakhia’s family and in his 2005 album Pyaas, pays tribute with a song dedicated to Bindrakhia titled Pind Diyan Juhaan. In 2011 DJ Harvey and Nirmal Sidhu made a tribute song to Surjit Bindrakhia called Bindrakhia Boliyan which has been a huge success since its release being ranked at Number 1 on the BBC Asian Network Chart in the first week of release.
