Kishore Kumar

Classic

An extraordinary all-rounder — singer, actor, composer and director — Kishore Kumar was the definitive playback voice of the 1970s, especially for Rajesh Khanna and Amitabh Bachchan. Largely self-taught, he brought playful yodels and deep emotion in equal measure. He remains one of the most influential voices in Bollywood.

Honours: A record eight Filmfare Awards for Best Male Playback Singer.
