Truth About Kishore Kumar & Ahmed Rushdi's Copy Skills #kishorekumar #bollywood @nasirrkhanofficial

Ahmed Rushdi was Pakistan’s premier playback singer, while Kishore Kumar was a legend indeed, for the generation that grew up in the 70s. Like Rafi, Rushdi was a master of expressions; Kishore had expressions, but Rushdi, despite being from a smaller industry, seemed his equal. There has been a rumour that Kishore paid tribute to Rushdi by singing one of his songs. A devoted fan of K. L. Saigal, KK had other inspirations while Rushdi was inspired by Mohammed Rafi's style of singing. The two never met, and if Kishore ever sang one of Rushdi’s songs, it was purely coincidental rather than intentional. At that time, Pakistan’s musicians were known in India, but its singers generally were not.
