K.L. Saigal's Birth Anniversary


 

Kundan Lal Saigal, often abbreviated as K. L. Saigal, born on 11 April 1904, was an Indian singer and actor who worked in Hindi cinema, which was centred in Calcutta (Kolkata) during Saigal's time, but is currently based in Bombay (Mumbai). Saigal's unique voice quality which was a mixture of baritone and soft tenor was the benchmark for most of the singers who followed him.
