Kishor Kumar, the one of the most versatile personality in the film industry, was good singer, composer, director, songwriter etc. He has sung some very beautiful songs under almost all the major music directors of his time. But here I would like to mention his combination with Laxmikant-Pyarelal.
Actually people started recognizing Kihsor Kumar only after Aaradhana(1969). But before that LP who were fresh in the film industry, has already used Kishor Kumar, when Kishor Kumar was passing though the lean period of his life, and given some melodious songs, which are still popular. Songs from the films like Mr.X In Bombay(1964), Shreeman Fatush and Hum Sab Ustad Hai(1965), Pyar Kiye Jaa(1966) were immensely popular and are still being liked.
KISHOR-LP COMBINATION has given some memorable songs and been associated together for more than 350 songs. It is difficult job to select only 20 songs.
I have divided the songs in two categories one is solo and another is duet.
