About me

I love playing squash, badminton & chess. My All Time Greatest Artist is Kishore Kumar.

Kishore Kumar was an Indian film playback singer and actor. Kishore is widely acknowedged as one of the finest Indian male playback singers of all time, along with Mohammed Rafi and Mukesh. In addition to singing and acting, Kishore Kumar achieved notable successes as a lyricist, composer, producer, director, screenwriter and scriptwriter. He has sung in many Indian languages including Hindi, Bengali (his mother tongue), Marathi, Assamese, Gujarati, Kannada, Bhojpuri and Oriya.

Kishore's son Amit Kumar was already a popular singer in 1980s, thanks to patronage by R D Burman and Rajesh Roshan. But Kishore was still around, singing for established and young heroes alike. Kishore Kumar and Amitabh had some misunderstanding in mid-1980s. Kishore was producing a movie and Amitabh (who was a Bollywood deity by then) was supposed to do a guest-appearance in the movie. Amitabh arrived at the shoot, but left after few minutes, asking his secretary to tell Kishore that he wouldn't act in the movie. Kishore got upset and decided never to sing for Amitabh again. Incidentally, Amitabh's films started flopping after this and he faced the worst phase in his Bollywood career.

Kishore Kumar inspired more playback singers than any other. Many of today's leading Indian playback singers including Kumar Sanu, Abhijeet and Babul Supriyo started their careers as so called Kishore Kumar clones. They all copied (they still do, to some extent, although they have developed their own style over the years) Kishore's unique voice. When Kishore was in the prime of his career, the only way a male singer could gain a foothold in Bollywood was to copy him and sing in low-budget movies where the producer could not afford to sign up Kishore himself.
