After his death, many of his songs have been remixed or re-sung by several artists. The songs like Kab Tak Andhere Chalte Rahenge, Yeh Jeevan Hai, Zindagi Ka Safar, Aanewala Pal, Aa Chalke Tujhe are considered as milestones in singing. He was one of the highest paid male playback singers in Hindi Film Industry Bollywood from 1969 till his death in 1987. He has rendered some of the finest songs of his career in the later phase of his career notably, Neele Neele Amber Par from Kalakar in(1987) Humein Tumse Pyar Kitna from Kudrat, Zindagi Pyar Ka Geet Hai from Sautan, Zindagi Ki Yahi Reet Hai from Mr. India, O Yaara Tu Yaaron Se Hai Pyara and Lahron Ki Tarah Yaadein from Kash, Rah pe rahte hai from Namkeen, Bin Phere Hum Tere from Bin Phere Hum Tere from Bin Phere Hum Tere (1979), Maine Tumse Kuchh Nahi Manga from Katha in (1986), Saason se Nahi fom Mohabbat in (1987).

Kishore Kumar was blessed with charismatic personality. In recent world survey it is disclosed that women fall for those men who have great sense of humor. But i think it applies in every decade that is why beautiful women of Indian Cinema loved to marry Kisore Kumar. He was lively, energetic like a teenager. Kishore Kumar was indeed Lady Killer. Thanks yuan for posting such a beautiful song.

Kishore Kumar was the emperor. He dwarfed everybody in front of him, everybody including those christened by you as "lion". Those lions often didnt have a recording for months together after KK took to full time playback singing with effect from Aradhana. Even today, a survey of all FM stations put together revealed that 63% time the airwaves play only Kishore Kumar. All other voices in balance 37%. Even 23 years after his death!!

Hello Yuan and thank you. What a staged marriage!!! Of his and hers, that is. Did you know that he was not a FULL Bengali? His father was from Bengal, hence the name Gunguly but his mother was from place called "Khandwa" in C.P.(Central Provinces).

@mahesh1946 - You are most welcome, my dear Uncle Uma.

Take care.
