Kishore Kumar, one of the most gifted singers of India has ever produced, was born on August 4, 1929, in Khandwa city of Madhya Pradesh. Fondly known as Kishore Da, he has given Bollywood some of its most valuable romantic songs. He is considered the most successful Indian playback singer of the Hindi film industry of all time. He sang in many Indian languages including Bengali, Hindi, Marathi, Assamese, Gujarati, Kannada, Bhojpuri, Malayalam, Oriya, and Urdu.

Without any professional training in music, he still earned the tag of the most romantic singer of his era. The sheer energy that echoed with his words was something that resonated with the people back then and continues to live till today. Not just Hindi, his voice worked well for even other regional languages including Bengali, Marathi, Assamese, Gujarati, Kannada, and Odia. Dance, jump, roll, and yodel in just one song: nobody since then, has even come close to what he creates on screen. He was never considered in the same league as Mohammad Rafi or Mukesh but still was a king in his own might.

He was one of the most versatile singers of Indian cinema who would sing any kind of song with high spirit and energy. However, some in today’s generation are still unaware of Kishore Da’s songs.
