It's usually a toss-up between Mohamed Rafi and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.
Lata Mangheshkar somehow, as female singers, are usually not in the conversation.
Interestingly Kishore Kumar is regarded as a trained singer as opposed to Mukesh.

Check out the 1920's singers and they acted as well in the movie.
Ashok Kumar was a singer in many of his early movies.
There can never be the greatest playback singer, how you goan decide that.
Pankaj Mullick was a great singer and Kenan Devi as well. Bengalie ppl were the originator of Indian Cinema.

Great point about how you can even begin to decide who's the greatest..
I didn't know that the actors in the early days did their own singing. BTW were there talkies in 1920s Indian cinema?

Mohamed Rafi the greatest singer ever. Nusrat will never be matched for his style of singing.

To me no 1 is the greatest , they r all good singers ,it is an individual thing
,we all have our own taste
you can never say, since everyone has his/her opinion on this.

I saw Manna Dey in concert and I met him after the concert with Guyanese dancer Philip McClintock who was a friend of Manna Dey. He was a very good singer and a true gentleman. He was much more than a singer he also could play several musical instruments.
