Everyday Google Doodle salute people, projects and inventions across the world that have made a difference to human civilization.

Legendary singer-actor-director Kishore Kumar was born on August 4, 1929. For four decades he kept us entertained with his memorable singing.

Kishore Kumar was the voice of Dev Anand and Rajesh Khanna. He was known as a yodeller for his vocal excellence. He was also a great comic actor. Fans of Kishor Kumar (fondly known as Kishorda) remember him for his eccentricities, and even for his multiple marriages.

Kishorda is fondly recalled for his garage-mechanic’s role and the popular song 'Ek ladki bheegi-bhaagisi' from the film "Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi".

Kishore Kumar was not only a singer and actor, but also a songwriter, composer, filmmaker, editor and even a scriptwriter.

Born as Abhas Kumar Ganguly, Kishore Kumar hailed from Khandwa, Central Provinces and Berar (now in Madhya Pradesh). When Kishore was merely a child, his brother Ashok Kumar was a leading Bollywood actor. Kishore also ventured into Hindi films with his brother's help. He attained success in films and music and went on to become a legend.

Kishore Kumar passed away on October 13, 1987.

Some of his celebrated songs include:

Meri Bheegi Bheegi Si (Anamika)

Zindagi ka safar (Safar)

Mere Naseeb Mein (Do Raaste)

Zindagi Pyar Ka Geet Hai (Souten)

Aadmi Jo Kehta Hai (Majboor)
