<span style="color: #222222;">Today is the 93rd death anniversary of Kishor Kumar. He still is regarded as one of the most talented and versatile singers in the Indian film industry.&nbsp; On 13th October 1987, Kishore Kumar died of a heart attack in Mumbai. His body was taken to Khandwa, his native place for cremation. Kishore Kumar was born on 4th August 1929 in Khandwa, Madhya Pradesh. He was born and brought up in a wealthy family. His father, Kunjalal Ganguly was a lawyer by profession and his mother, Gouri Devi was a home-maker who hailed from a very rich family. Kumar was the youngest of four siblings.<br />”<br />”Once Mahatma Gandhi said, ‘Great men never die. This quote fits aptly for legendary singer Kishore Kumar who is still alive in our memories. His contribution to the Indian music industry is immeasurable and we cannot deny this fact. In his early day he could not develop a style of his own but nevertheless he perfectly imitated K.L. Saigal. Once, the great S.D Burman had come to Ashok Kumar's house to meet up when he heard Kishore singing. He actually thought it was K.L. Saigal. When he came to know that it was Kishore singing, he truly appreciated and encouraged the young lad to continue refining his voice but at the same time, develop a style of his own. Kishor obeyed his advice and emerged as the livewire of Indian cinema. He was the one who introduced yodelling in the music industry, which was widely loved and enjoyed by the Indian audience. &nbsp;<br />”<br />”Just moments before his death, Kumar had recorded the song &quot;Guru Guru&quot;, a duet that was sung along with popular singer Asha Bhosle for the film Waqt Ki Awaz The music was composed by popular singer Bappi Lahiri a day before he had passed away. Needless to say that the demise of Kishore Kumar left an unfulfillable void in the arena of Indian Playback Music.</span><br />
