A charming sunset, a cup of tea, and a couple of classic Bollywood, Oh My God this heavenly feeling is incomparable. The Bollywood soothing songs have such a charismatic power that they can take away all your pain and tension, and give a relaxed feeling that is out of this world. But to achieve this level of music in the industry, many singers have crossed all the milestones of the music world. In this long journey of the music industry, many classic playback singers made their debut and left an indelible mark on the Indian Music scene. From the legendary Kishore Kumar to present-day favorite, Arijit Singh, our films have often showcased their unique vocals and given us all the feels. Appreciating the astonishing work of Indian Playback singer, Here we bring you the top 10 melodious playback singers that changed the Indian music scene:
1. Kishore Kumar: Bollywood industry has seen the arrival of many marvelous singers but only one of them was able to make our hearts hit all the notes of music. Giving us classics like ‘Yeh Shaam Mastani’ or the iconic ‘Zindagi Ek Safar’, Kishore Kumar makes a precious place in our hearts.
2. Lata Mangeshkar: From hitting every right emotion of our heart with pyaar ka nagma to making us hit the floor ASAP, Lata Mangeshkar did magic with her voice. Lataji’s voice has a quality that still remains unmatched.
3. Mukesh: A singer in a class of his own, Mukesh was ranked, along with Mohammad Rafi and Kishore Kumar, as one of the greatest male playback singers in Bollywood history. However, he holds a unique position in the industry, he was that one marvel who really blessed our ears with his voice.
4. Asha Bhosle: There are very few singers who can be as badass as Ashaji, even in this day and age. Bringing cabaret to mainstream Bollywood, Bhonsle pulled off ‘Piya Tu Ab Toh Aajaa’ with as much ease as she did ‘Dum Maro Dum from Hare Rama Hare Krishna.
5. Arijit Singh: In our life, we never thought that a song can make us cry but the hats off to Arijit Singh. It not has been long single Arijit Singh came into the industry but he has already made his name in the list of music legends. How would we live in a world that didn’t have songs like ‘Kabira’, ‘Kabhi Jo Badal Barse’ and ‘Agar Tum Saath Ho’?
6. Mohd Rafi: Who else can sing ghazals with the kind of ease this man displays? Rafi has given us soulful numbers like ‘Deewana Hua Badal’, ‘Baharon Phool Barsao’ and ‘Khoya Khoya Chand’. BRB, nostalgia has hit hard.
7. Sonu Nigam: I know many of you still think that best of Sonu Nigam is yet to come. No doubt he is the Shahrukh Khan of the Indian Music industry who has blessed us with some tremendous music.
8. Shreya Ghoshal: She’s the modern-day Madonna and boy, can she sing! Ghoshal has the kind of range that few singers in the industry can boast of. From soulful tracks like ‘Teri Ore’ to catchy dance numbers like ‘Chikni Chameli’, Ghoshal has done it all.
9. Sunidhi Chauhan: With her melodious voice, Sunidhi really makes us go Crazy Kiya re. Sunidhi’s voice and the Bollywood films she has done playback singing for have fond memories attached to them for kids from the ’00s.
10. Udit Narayan: Udit Narayan is the best SInger in my opinion because of his originality and soothing voice! In the case of Romantic songs, no one can beat him! And most of all he has sung in 32 languages, no other singer has sung in 32 languages! And he can sing any type of song!
