Remembering Kishore Kumar (Aug 04,1929 - Oct 13,1987)on his 87th Birthday August 04,2016

Kishore Kumar was a ‘master’ of all trades’ — be it his deep voice that could bring life to any set of music and lyrics, his antics while recording for those songs, or his onscreen presence that gave him the epithet of an actor, who could do comedy. Apart from being an excellent singer, the multifaceted Kishore da boasted of many other talents such as composing, lyricist, acting, direction, production and scriptwriter.

Kishore Kumar, along with R D Burman, formed a formidable team which ensured a chartbuster whenever they came together. This duo has given some of the best and most melodious tracks to acting legends like Rajesh Khanna and Amitabh Bachchan. Many of these songs have grown beyond the movies they were in and acquired the status of cult classics.

Apart from donning many hats in his successful career, Kishore Kumar lived an enigmatic life. His four marriages and histrionics behind the scenes bear a testimony to this. On his 86th birth anniversary, we present an interesting infograph, courtesy Saregama Pvt Ltd, that truly represents the eventful life of the legendary actor-singer.
