I am huge fan of Lata Mangeshkar, Kishore Kumar, Mohammad Rafi, Ghulam Ali and Mehdi Hassan. Listening to these people inspired me to become a singer.
There was only one Kishore Kumar and there will be only one Amit Kumar.
There can never be another Kishore Kumar.
I simply admire Mohammed Rafi and Kishore Kumar.
There is only one Kishore Kumar, he was exceptional. No one can ever be like him.
I take it as a compliment to be compared with a legend like Kishore Kumar.
Kishore Kumar was multi-talented and original, so I really respect him.
Kishore Kumar is the voice of India, M.D. Rafi taught me to sing romantic numbers, while Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's live recordings helped me prep for stage shows.
I am a huge Kishore Kumar fan. What can I say? The man was born to entertain!
I really liked Kishore Kumar. He had a virile man's voice, and he was truly versatile.
When Mohammed Rafi was not an active playback singer, Kishore Kumar dominated the scene and vice-versa.
There can never be another Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhosle, Kishore Kumar and Mohammed Rafi they are in different league.
I always enjoyed singing and working with the late Kishore Kumar. He was a legendary playback singer, an actor, and a producer/director.
You can get inspired from a magazine, yes, but you can also be inspired from a website, from a street-style blogger, from what people post on Instagram.
My favourites are Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhosle, Kishore Kumar and Mohammed Rafi. They are the four legends. I have worked with them in hundreds of songs.
Both Guru Dutt and Kishore Kumar's lives had lots of ups and downs... their lives were heavy and sad.
