Same Singer Different Sounds

I am sometimes amazed by the ability of a singer to sound very different. I am of course talking of playback singing in Bollywood, an under-recognised art form globally. But anyway, I am going to illustrate using a favourite singer's songs. Kishore Kumar is the singer. A sample of his different sounding songs-

1. Ajnabi, tum jaane pehchaane se lagte ho.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIQmdaEerPE

2. Mere sapno ki rani kab aayegi tu.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EofAlMh2Huo

3. Tum aa gaye ho, noor aa gaya hai.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSjrsT8pTbQ

4. O manchali, kahan chali.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13q8acgdiY4

5. Ajnabi se banke karo na kinara.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kci6Q_mpUVU

6. Dukhi man mere sun mera kehna.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWk-Lwn1rcg

7. Tum bin jaoon kahan.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uqJhSXH89Q

8. Bachna ae haseeno, lo main aa gaya.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsjLQOco35U

9. Naach meri bulbul ke paisa milega.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzRz0p_UGhw

10. Meri pyari Bindu... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zr_enRRcyuw
