Arguably, one of the best voices of the film industry, Kishore Kumar achieved greater success as a singer than as an actor. In 1969, Aradhna got him much acclaim and popularity. His voice and style of singing is loved by all, irrespective of the factors of age, gender, geographical location and caste. The versatility in his voice made him win eight Filmfare awards, which is a record for any male playback singer. His voice became synonymous with Rajesh Khanna and Amitabh Bachchan.

  • Aanewala pal jaanewala hai (Golmaal)
  • Tu pee aur jee (Des Pardes)
  • Phoolon ke rang se (Prem Pujari)
