Amitabh Bachchan has sung many songs too. Subhash K Jha lists them on his 83rd birthday on October 11.
Mere Paas Aao Mere Doston from Mr Natwarlal
Composer Rajesh Roshan gets credit for making Amitabh sing for the 1st time. The song was a chartbuster.
Neela Aasman So Gaya from Silsila
Neela Aasman was composed by Amitabh and Shammi Kapoor. When Yash Chopra heard the song, he asked for it to be incorporated into the Silsila soundtrack.
Rang Barse from Silsila
Rang Barse was a song he heard in his childhood during Holi.
Mere Angne Mein from Laawaaris
'I used to sing Rang Barse and Mere Angne Mein at Holi get-togethers at our house.'
'That's where Yashji (Yash Chopra) and Prakashji (Prakash Mehra) heard these songs, included them in Silsila and Lawaaris, and asked me to sing them,' Amitabh once said.
Jidhar Dekhun Teri Tasveer From Mahaan
R D Burman's love ballad has 2 versions, sung by Kishore Kumar and Amitabh.
Ekla Cholo Re and Kahaani
Based on Rabindranath Tagore's immortal lines, the Bachchan baritone made the poetry a tour de force.
Waqt Ke Kiya Kya Haseen Sitam from 102 Not Out
Saregama needed 4 songs for the album to be complete, and there were only 3. So they asked if Amitabh could sing Waqt Ke Kiya Kya Haseen Sitam.
Since the Kaagaz Ke Phool classic had a reference in the film, he agreed.
Main Yahan Tu Wahan from Baghban
Lata Mangeshkar once said of Amitabh: 'He sings with feeling. I don't know if he can sing every type of song but whatever he does, he sings in sur.'
Hori Khele Raghuveera from Baghban
Amitabh had a special rapport with Composer Aadesh Shrivastava. They would jam for hours. This Holi song is a product of their collaboration.
Atrangi Yaari from Wazir
Farhan Akhtar and Amitabh sing of friendship.
