There are very few voices behind some songs that strike a chord with the audience, leaving them asking for more. There are only a handful of singers who can make each listener feel the song from the bottom of their hearts. There are a small number of people who make a cosy home in our hearts in a jiffy with their melodious voices, and, one such singer is KK.
As years passed by, the singer kept giving us back-to-back chartbusters on love and friendship. And, with each new song, we fell for his voice a little more. Even though there are numerous talented singers on the block today, but his contribution to our music industry is invaluable.
