Bollywood & Its Pioneers > Kishore Kumar / किशोर कुमार

Kishore Kumar: A maverick, he could sing, dance and act, all with great flair. Of course, Kishoreda would be most remembered for his melodious voice, which rendered innumerable classic songs. Picking out a few would be unfair since he has sung so many great numbers. Even over 25 years after his death, singers continue taking inspiration from Kumar's songs, although some of the remixes don't exactly do justice to his legendary numbers
