Deewana Kishore Kumar And Deewana Me!
In a nation of so much internal strife and negatives, very few names can instill the kind of joy and passion Kishore Midas Kumar does. He belongs to that rare breed, which could hop over man-made religious, linguistic and ideological boundaries and leave their audiences fufilled and joyous. I do [...]

I recently checked out youtube and grabbed the following rare Kishore Kumar live videos. Rare, because anything related with him is rare for his fans anyway. A few of these belong to a charity show, part aired by Doordarshan on that evening. This, about a year and a half before he finally departed from this [...]

Aisi Haseen Chandni
Apno Mein Main Begana
Banker Nazar Dil Ki
Dekho O Diwano Tum Ye
Deewana Leke Aaya Hai
Dil Aaj Shair Hai
Dil Kya Chahe
Dil Se Mile Dil
Ek Dil Sau Dushman
Jaan Tan Se Tan Jaan Se

Dear Amitji,
I have quoted the above two sentences from your previous post. It leaves many of us surprised, since your songs have always played a [...]

This job is getting tougher with each passing day, as I try to compile newer Kishore Kumar song lists. The main issue is, one can compile the same collection in several different ways. Kishoreda used to sing with so much passion, that you will find it hard to discretely classify each of his songs. [...]

Of Course Not! And Be Assured, No Sensible Music Listener Will Entertain This Line Of Argument Ever!
I have often seen Rafi fans making this accusation in debates, it hardly bothers the Kishoreda fans though. However, let us examine today whether it was possible to technically enhance some songs more compared to others, just [...]

I have decided to post my collection of Kishoreda songs at regular periods, if not every month. We are going to listen the following solos this time, which speak of somebody lost in life, though not completely defeated…which is what I term as “Gum-Sum” Kishoreda numbers!
Have a nice listening these songs!

Aadmi Jo [...]

What does his handwriting say?
Those Kishoreda fans who may not know about this one, should check out the embedded link in the above photograph. Ambarish Goswami, a Senior Scientist at Honda Research Institute, California, has uploaded Kishore Kumar’s autograph and some rare print media images and covers on his website. The images provide you yet [...]
