39. Tumko Bhi To Aisa Kuchh Hota from Aap Aye Bahaar Ayee – It has been only in rare occasions where Kishore Kumar’s voice has been used to record a song for Rajendra Kumar, and hence this beautiful duet sung by Kishore and Lata definitely deserves a position in my list. Laxmikanth Pyarelal gave rest of the tracks to his favourite Rafi. It was one of the rare associations of LP for any movie featuring Jubilee star. Kishore has sung for Rajendra Kumar only in three occasions – Aap Aye Bahaar Ayee (1971), Sunehra Sansar (1975) and Aahuti (1978). Though 1960s was the glorious era of Jubilee star, and Kishore has been the ghost voice for a few popular stars in the era like Dev Anand, it took many years for music directors to finally try Kishore’s voice for Jubilee star, and Laxmikanth-Pyarelal was the first one to do so.

41. Salam E Ishq from Muquadar Ka Sikander – Kalyanji Anandji gave some of their finest compositions for Muquadar Ka Sikander, and this particular duet featuring Rekha and Amitabh truly deserves a standing ovation. Though the movie was nominated for several major Filmfare Awards including best male and female voices, the blockbuster film didn’t receive any. Film’s director Prakash Mehra penned lyrics for this popular song, while the remaining songs were written by Anjaan. Lata Mangeshkar & Kishore Kumar sang this duet.

50. Yeh Raaten Yeh Mausam from Dilli Ka Thug – Kishore Kumar has been a jack of different trades during his first phase of his actor.

As an actor, Dilli Ka Thug is one of his earliest works, and he shared screen space with popular actress Nutan. Music was composed by Ravi and Shailendra contributed lyrics for this extremely popular duet sung by Kishore da and Asha Bhosle.
