| Kishore Kumar (August 4, 1929 - October 13, 1987), born as Abhas Ganguly, was a Bengali Indian film playback singer (Hindi, Bangla, Marathi) and actor. He also worked as producer, composer and lyricist but is chiefly remembered as one of the three leading male playback singers in Bollywood (the other two being Mohammed Rafi and Mukesh ). He sang extensively with the songbirds of Bollywood - Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle. Although he is known primarily for his singing talents, he was also successful in his acting adventures which gave birth to such hilarious comedies as Chalti ka Naam Gaadi and Halfar . 1973 Pyar Diwana . 1971 Hungama . Kishore Kumar was born in a Bengali family as Abhas Ganguly, in the small town of Khandwa in Madhya Pradesh. When Kishore was still a child, his elder brother Ashok Kumar became a star actor in Bollywood. The effect of filmdom was evident on Kishore the kid. He was a great fan of K. L. Saigal and used to ape his singing style. Often his parents would ask him to ape his brother's Ashok Kumar's song Main ban ka panchhi and reward him for doing that. Anoop Kumar, Kishore's elder and Ashok's younger brother also forayed in Bollywood, after Ashok became a star. Kishore Kumar married four times, to Ruma Ghosh (1950-58), Madhubala (1960-69), Yogeeta Bali (1975-78) and Leena Chandavarkar (1980-87). His son Amit Kumar followed his fathers path and became a singer in almost the same style, although could not touch the heights achieved by the father. Kishore's second son, Sumit Kumar has also sung in films. He passed away on 13 october 1987, on the b'day of his elder brother Ashok Kumar | ||||||||
