Kishore Kumar was not a one-dimensional singer and he has not been overrated. He completely deserved all the prominence and praise he got. He never received any preparation in old-style music and he openly admitted this. Yet, he had what can be called a God-given talent to sing any type of tune he was asked to sing – comedy songs, serious songs, and even the songs with a light dash of traditional touches, like Mere Naynaa Saawan Brandon. Music composers completely understood his strength and restrictions and didn't request that he sing the songs which required finer traditional nuances. Rafi and Manna Dey were the singers of choice for those songs. O.P. Nayyar got some traditional sung by Rafi, however, Kishore lipped them on the screen. Kishore didn't object to this, and Rafi charged a fee of only one rupee for each of those songs. They had such a great amount of respect for each other. On Rafi's death, Kishore cried like a kid.
There was a tune in the film Half Ticket filmed on Pran and Kishore dressed as a lady. Kishore sand the melody in both the male and the "female" voices. Just a single singer could do this – Kishore Kumar.
Kishore died in 1987, yet some of his songs are relished by the people even today.
Kishore Kumar was blessed by Goddess Saraswati. Forget about singing, would you be able to imagine how talented a person ought to be to pen lyrics like "aa chal ke tujhe primary leke chalu"..and likewise make its tune?
When you have divine blessings, you don't need to be trained by people. Kishore Kumar was one of them. Even the legendary Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosale confessed that they used to feel cognizant when Kishore Kumar used to sing with them.
Not just that. Bollywood songs released in 2018 would be waste in 2019. Yet, a melody becomes unfading because of the mix of the efforts of the singer, composer, lyricist, and the individual musicians. U can call it karma, everything clicked when Kishore Kumar sang a tune. That's the reason he never needed any conventional preparing in music. He sang and the songs became evergreen hits..
