Kishore Kumar is mainly associated with light hearted fun songs, though he has sung great songs in all genres including serious songs. It is a well known fact that Kishore Kumar was a natural singer, who had not taken any training in classical music, unlike most other leading singers. In fact,this lack of classical training was often taken to mean by music directors that Kishore Kumar could not sing such songs. I can recall at least one occasion where Manna Dey’s voice was used for Kishore Kumar the actor for a semi classical song situation. 🙂

Just like we these days lament the deterioration in the quality of Bollywood music, people used to lament about such deterioration even in the past. I personally thought that many of the songs of 1970s were pedestrial and chaalu songs. But now with the passage of time, when I came across far worse songs, then I realised that the so called poor songs of 1970s were gems in comparison.

I have mentioned the fact that most people (at least I) are only aware of the more popular songs from a movie and they often miss out on some real gems that the lesser known songs of these movies often turn out to be.
