2. WE FEEL GREAT PLEASURE TO
INTRODUCE ABOUT KISHOR KUMAR JI,
HE WAS A BEST SINGER IN THE FILM
INDUSTRY. AND I THINK HE WAS A
GOOD ACTOR ALSO IN HINDI CINEMA.

3. BORN AS ABHAS KUMAR GANGULY ON 4TH
AUGUST, 1929, THIS GREAT SINGER KNOWN
AS KISHORE KUMAR, AFFECTIONATELY
CALLED KISHORE DA, WAS ONE OF THOSE
VERY FEW SINGERS WHO TOOK RISKS AND
EXPERIMENTED WITH DIFFERENT STYLES OF
MUSIC. CONSIDERED TO BE A LEGEND IN
HINDI FILM WORLD, THIS MULTI TALENTED
PERSONA HAS EXCELLED AS A PLAYBACK
SINGER, ACTOR, COMPOSER, LYRICS WRITER,
DIRECTOR, PRODUCER AND SCRIPT WRITER.

4. THE SONGS OF KISHORE KUMAR HAVE AN
EXTRAORDINARY BLEND OF ROMANCE,
EMOTIONS, NAUGHTINESS AND
MELANCHOLY. WE ATTEMPT TO PRESENT
THE LIFE HISTORY OF KISHOR KUMAR IN THIS
SHORT BIOGRAPHY.
KISHORE KUMAR WAS BORN IN A SMALL
PLACE KNOWN AS KHANDWA LOCATED IN
THE STATE OF MADHYA PRADESH. HE WAS
BORN IN A TYPICAL BENGALI FAMILY AND
WAS THE YOUNGEST AMONG HIS SIBLINGS .

5. HE HAD TWO ELDER BROTHERS (ASHOK
KUMAR AND ANOOP KUMAR) AND A SISTER
(SATI DEVI). HIS FATHER KUNJILAL GANGULY
WAS A LAWYER BY PROFESSION AND HIS
MOTHER GAURI DEVI WAS FROM A WELL-TO-
DO FAMILY. WHEN HIS ELDEST BROTHER
ASHOK KUMAR BECAME AN ACTOR, KISHORE
KUMAR WAS STILL QUITE YOUNG. LATER ON,
HIS SECOND BROTHER ALSO VENTURED
INTO MOVIES TO BECOME AN ACTOR.
KISHORE KUMAR ALSO STARTED TO SHOW
INTEREST IN MUSIC AND OFTEN MIMICKED
THE GREAT K.L. SAIGAL.

6. THOUGH HE DID NOT HAVE ANY FORMAL
TRAINING IN MUSIC, HE DECIDED TO PURSUE
IT AND FOLLOWED HIS BROTHERS TO
MUMBAI. IT WAS HIS DREAM TO BECOME A
FAMOUS PLAYBACK SINGER AND BE
COUNTED AMONG LEGENDS. HE WOULD
OFTEN GO TO THE STUDIOS AND ASK
PRODUCERS IF HE COULD SING ON THE
MOVIE'S SOUNDTRACK. INITIALLY HE COULD
NOT DEVELOP A STYLE OF HIS OWN BUT
NEVERTHELESS HE PERFECTLY IMITATED
K.L. SAIGAL.

7. ONCE, THE GREAT S.D BURMAN HAD COME
TO ASHOK KUMAR'S HOUSE TO MEET UP
WHEN HE HEARD KISHORE SINGING. HE
ACTUALLY THOUGHT IT WAS K.L. SAIGAL
SINGING AND INQUIRED IF HE WAS THERE
TOO! WHEN HE CAME TO KNOW THAT IT WAS
KISHORE SINGING, HE TRULY APPRECIATED
AND ENCOURAGED THE YOUNG LAD TO
CONTINUE REFINING HIS VOICE BUT AT THE
SAME TIME, DEVELOP A STYLE OF HIS OWN.

8. KISHORE KEPT THIS ADVICE IN MIND AND
WENT ON DEVELOP HIS OWN SIGNATURE
STYLE. HE PERFECTED YODELING, A UNIQUE
STYLE HE HEARD AMONGST THE AUSTRIAN
MUSIC COLLECTIONS OF HIS BROTHER
ANOOP. IN HINDI FILM INDUSTRY, HIS
YODELING TURNED OUT TO BE WIDELY
POPULAR AND BECAME A TRADEMARK OF
KISHORE KUMAR. HIS SONGS SOUNDED
ABSOLUTELY NATURAL, LIKE LAUGHTER. HE
USED TO INCORPORATE NON-SENSICAL
TERMS INTO HIS SONGS AND GIVE IT AN
ENTIRELY NEW FEEL.

9. THE ABILITY TO TRANSFORM HIS VOICE
ACCORDING TO NOT JUST THE SCENE BUT
ALSO THE ACTOR IS SOMETHING THAT WAS
TRULY INCREDIBLE OF KISHORE. HE HAS
SUNG SOULFUL SONGS FOR DEV ANAND AND
ALSO FUN FILLED SONGS FOR RAJESH
KHANNA.
AFTER RAJESH KHANNA WENT OUT OF THE
SCENE, KISHORE KUMAR BELTED OUT CHART
TOPPING HITS FOR SUPERSTAR AMITABH
BACHCHAN. WHEN R.D. BURMAN STORMED
THE MUSIC WORLD, KISHORE KUMAR RE-
SURFACED WITH HITS LIKE ROOP TERA
MASTANA AND MANY OTHER MELODIOUS
SONGS.

10. SOME FILMS THAT DESERVE A SPECIAL
MENTION ARE HUM KISI SE KUM NAHIN,
KINARA, DREAM GIRL, ANURODH, SHARABI,
MR. NATWARLAL, GOL MAAL, DOSTANA,
MANZIL, PADOSAN, SHALIMAR, KHATTA
MEETHA, KASME VAADE, GHAR, DON,
MUQADDAR KA SIKANDAR, CHALTI KA NAAM
GAADI, DILLI KA THUG, ETC.

11. WHEN HIS POPULARITY BEGAN TO DIMINISH
DURING MID 80'S, HE RETIRED AND WANTED
TO RETURN BACK TO KHANDWA, HIS NATIVE
PLACE. UNFORTUNATELY, IT WAS NOT
MEANT TO BE. ON OCTOBER 13TH 1987, CO-
INCIDENTALLY THE BIRTHDAY OF HIS ELDER
BROTHER ASHOK KUMAR, KISHORE
SUFFERED A HEART ATTACK AND BREATHED
HIS LAST. HIS UNTIMELY AND UNEXPECTED
DEATH SHOCKED THE ENTIRE NATION.
KISHORE KUMAR MARRIED FOUR TIMES AND
HIS ELDEST SON AMIT KUMAR ALSO
VENTURED INTO THE WORLD OF MUSIC.

12. I HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS
POWER POINT PRESTATION,
KISHORE DA ALWAYS IN MY
HEART AND I THINK IN
EVERYBODIES HEART.

13. तुमको हमेसा याद करेगा
जमाना
हो सके तो लौट के आना
