On 4th August this year Kishore Kumar's 85th birhday was celebrated. He died in 1987. Kishore Kumar was an institution in himself. There is no other singer, in Bollywood who could match Kishore Kumar's versality. He sang for almost all the stars and got several awards for singing. It is very difficult to select the best songs of Kishore Kumar. I have selected, some which are my favourite and some others, for which he got awards. The first song is from the movie Aaradhana.
The next song is from Amar Prem. Kishore Kumar's unique style is noticable in this song
The next choice is from yaarana. Choo kar mere mann ko
The next in the list is a song from Anand. Zindagi kaisi hai paheli
'
The next song is from the movie Black Mail. Pal Pal dil ke paas
Now comes the ever green song of Kora Kaagaz. Mera jeewan kora kaagaz
Another romantic song, which was my favorite when the film Kudrat was released. Hamen tumse pyar kitna, yeh hum nahin jaante,magar jee nahin sakte tumhare bina
And now comes the last from the movie Julie.Dil kya kare jab kisi ko kisi se pyar ho jaaye
I hope you have also liked my choice. Which ones do like?

Kishore Kumar is a legend. He was so versatile, he was playback singer, actor, lyricist, composer, producer, director, screenwriter and scriptwriter. I love his almost all songs especially those that were sung for Rajesh Khanna. And 'Pal pal dil ke paas' from the clips is my absolute favorite!
wow! I love u for doing this post!! i think by now the whole world knows how crazy I am about kishore da.... :) :) I must have repeated that at least several dozen times!!
my fav song is phoolon ke rang se dil ki kalam se...and pal pal dil ke paas...
Thank you Titli. I am sooo happy that you are are also a fan of Kishore Kumar. All his songs are wonderful.It was difficult to select a few of them for this post.
Kishore-da is always my all time favorite singer and with due respect to all legends, no one can match his histrionics. My favs are, Humein tumse pyar kitna, diya jalte hain. yeh dard bada afshana, diya jalte hau badi mushkil se duniya mein dost miltey hai. Planning for a post on the great and ever green, Kishore Kumar:)
One will need many more blog posts to highlight his songs that will remain for ever as wonderful as ever before
