Lata met Kishore Kumar way back in 1948 and the two recorded their first duet for the movie
Ziddi (1949).
Veteran Actor Dev Anand also remembered his favourite singer. He tweeted, "Happy birthday, Kishore... You are immortal... He sang his first song for me in Ziddi, 'Marne ki duayen kyu maangu...' His style had Saigal touch... Early years of kishore's singing had a touch of legendary KL Saigal, and later he developed his own style and was great in all types of songs... His voice had great resonance, though not a trained singer, but used to come for recordings only after proper rehearsal, or he used to postpone... Though I like all his songs but 'Dukhi man mere...', Phoolon ke rang se...' are close to my heart, before recording he used to ask me if I want him to sing in any particular way to match my mannerisms, so I used to tell him to keep me in mind while singing and I used to perform on his style, great synchronization... I truly miss him..."
