Like many, I'm a fan of Mohammed Rafi, but I also have a soft spot for Kishore Kumar's songs, particularly those that evoke a soothing atmosphere. Some of my favorites include "Mere Naina Sawan Bhado", "Aa Chal Ke Tujhe", "O Mere Dil Ke Chain", "Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas", "Mera Jeevan Kora Kagaz", "Tere Bina Zindagi Se Koi", "Kora Kagaz Tha Yeh Man Mera", and "Aap Ki Aankhon Mein Kuch". Kishore Kumar passed away on October 13, 1989. Yesterday, October 13, 2024, a musical tribute was organized in Mysore to honor his legacy, transporting me back to the early 1980s.
During my initial years in Mumbai, I resided in Matunga East, just a stone's throw away from the iconic Shanmukhananda Hall. I had acquaintances among the hall's staff, which granted me complimentary access to various events held in the auditorium throughout the 1980s. This privilege allowed me to watch performances by renowned Hindi playback singers from the VIP section. One notable event featured Kalyanji Anandji, accompanied by Kishore Kumar. Kishore's opening song left an indelible mark on my heart and remains a cherished favorite to this day. I hope you'll enjoy it just as much.
A notable aspect of the 1964 film "Door Gagan Ki Chhaon Mein" is that Kishore Kumar was the driving force behind it. He not only acted in the lead role but also directed, wrote, and produced the movie under his own production banner. Furthermore, he penned the lyrics, composed the music, and sang this iconic song, making him the true mastermind behind this cinematic endeavor.
