Weekend

On today’s weekend topic, I am writing about the best songs of Kishore Kumar. He was one of the most versatile film artist who was  actor, singer, lyricist, music composer, producer and director. He gained the popularity as play back singer, and was considered as one of the best male play back singer ever who graced Hindi film music and the surprising fact is he had no formal training of music from any guru/teacher. I am giving below my favourites hindi film songs, which were sung by him, please note that the list is in random order :
