Born on August 4, 1929, Kishore Kumar became one of the most celebrated singers of Bollywood with his inimitable style and versatile voice. On his 84th birthday, we pay tribute to the man whose everlasting voice gave a song to every heart.
Kishore Kumar, who once followed Kundan Lal Saigal’s singing style, took no time to make a niche for himself in Bollywood as a singer. Kishore Da soon developed his own unique singing fashion which featured yodeling and went on to become an eternal heartthrob.
It was music director RD Burman who encouraged his singing talent and teamed up with Kumar to deliver many hit songs like ‘Maana Janaab Ne Pukara Nahin’, ‘Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke’, ‘Ek Ladki Bheegi Bhaagi Si’, ‘Haal Kaisa Hai Janaab Ka’ etc.
Today on his birthday, we pay our tribute to the singer with a list of some his best songs.
Roop tera mastana: Aaradhna
Pal pal dil ke paas: Blackmail
Mere sapno ki rani kab ayyegi tu: Aaradhna
Chukar mere man ko: Yaarana
Mere saamne wali khidki me: Padosan
Khaike paan banaras wala: Don
Phoolon ke rang se: Prem Pujari
O mere dil ke chain: Mere Jeevan Saathi
Tum bin jaun kahan: Pyaar Ka Mausam
O Saathi re: Muqaddar Ka Sikandar
