Music Relam : Hindi Songs of Kishore Kumar

Besides Sri SPB , Sri.Kishore kumar is a big influence in
whatever little I have been trying to sing. Range of emotions
that he presented in his songsis one thing that touched me
and at one time back in college I knew lyrics of almost
60-70 of his songs.
During my scool days around 1987 is when I was exposed to lot of
Hindi music through Radio Cylon,VIvidBharathi, BhooleBisle Geeth,
and Chitrahaar & Rangoli on TV, thanks to my father who had this
habbit of tuning to Cylone station in the morning at 4am..!!
Thats probably when inadvertently I started my inclination towards
music and Kishore Kumar was the one that got my interest glued to.
I used to render line of O Sathire and used to feel like Kishore
myself...:)

Here is my try at presenting some of his hit numbers.
