Kishore Kumar Kishore Kumar 1929 - 1987

Kishore Kumar is revered as a demigod by millions of Bollywood music devotees. Kishore wasn’t a trained singer and because of this many refused to take him seriously during his early days. But whatever he lacked in formal training, he more than made up with his intuitiveness and through the rich and emotive quality of his voice. Kishore defied the critics and rose to become India's most celebrated singer, winning a record haul of Filmfare Awards along the way!

Kishore Kumar dabbled in many fields, including acting, directing, and composing. But he will always be best remembered as a singer. After struggling for most of his first two decades in Bollywood, Kishore Kumar finally rose to the top after the success of his songs in Aradhana (1969). Kishore’s most famous songs were for a trio of silver screen legends - Dev Anand, Rajesh Khanna and Amitabh Bachchan. Many have tried, but none have quite been able to fill the void left by Kishore Kumar.
