Born in Varanasi ( Benares ), his fame as a Singer of Bengali and Hindi Song s began early in his life with his first appearance on All India Radio in the late 1930s . He also became one of the most active proponents of Rabindrasangeet , the songs of the most famous Bengali poet of the 20th Century , Rabindranath Tagore . In 1940 he launched his career in Indian movies when he appeared as a singer in the Bengali film '' Sanyasi '' and in 1944 he appeared in his first Hindi language film '' Iraada ''. During this period he also established himself as a competent Composer of Bengali songs. During the 1950s his full Baritone voice established him as the undisputed star of middle-class Bengali Romanticism , where Love was found, lost and then regained; where joy was unbounded and despair fathomless. His style of delivery became the standard for all romantic heroes in Indian film since his time. His first Hindi success as a composer was ''Nagin'', which introduced electronics into Indian film. Still later, Kumar branched out into film production with movies of a decidedly occidental cast, like '' Bees Saal Baad '' based on The Hound Of The Baskervilles and '' Kohraa '' derived from Daphne Du Maurier 's Rebecca . Even after his death in 1989 , Hemant Kumar remains a leading role model that other male Indian singers imitate. SELECTED FILMOGRAPHY
