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!

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 [...]

I went through several mp3 sites and came up with the following list, having mostly sentimental and romantic songs. Most of them are from the post-1980 phase with a very matured KK voice quite evident therein. You may go through the archives of all masters, including KK, Rafi and [...]

Asha Bhonsle - The Heavenly Female Voice!
Something common ran through the trio of Kishore Kumar, RD Burman and Asha Bhonsle. What was this common factor? Was it the ability to break norms, leave aside classical rules and sing without any hesitation? Was it their fondness for the alien music styles, mostly the western ones, to [...]

Amitabh was the only actor who fully used to dub Kishoreda’s songs. You could watch him loudly sing each line with his bulging and tale-telling neck veins. One must say, if Kishoreda had several moods and voices, each aimed at defining one or the other actor, Amitabh had the ability to fully live up to [...]

While some of you may already be knowing about this, I’d like to propose the following website to those others, who might have just begun googling down about Kishoreda’s genius. The website doesn’t list all of Kishore Kumar songs, yet happens to provide a fair deal of entertainment.

A well-contested argument between Kishoreda and Rafi fans is always on cards whenever somebody speaks their heart out with respect to one of these two Indian greats - I have myself previously spoken on this subject. Recently, I discovered the following article by Sandipan Deb in The Indian Express, which declares Kishoreda as [...]

My father once told me, “If you ever wrote kishoreda even a piece of appreciation in simple prose, there are chances he would go through rhyming it as if it was a [...]
