He also teamed up with Kishore Kumar for hit numbers like 'Yeh dosti hum nahin torenge' ('Sholay') and 'Ek chatur naar' ('Padosan').
How can one forget 'Yaari hai imaan mera yaar meri zindagi' from the film 'Zanjeer'? He also sang for the Bengali film industry, sometimes teaming up with Hemant Kumar.

Very well deserved. But I feel this should have been given long long back and not so late.
He is the most versatile singer, no questions there. Starting from funny song like "Mere Bhais Ko Danda Kyu Mara" to Classical songs, he could sing them all with ease and style.
