What a loving and heart /soul touching voice was of Rafi sahib & Mukesh shahib one & one soul came on earth and for years n years ago no one listener will forget him. I hope till the Universe lives in planet. They and there voice will be remain and echo .
@ramaraksha01......... Manna Dey, Kishore, Mukesh are also legends who have given us endless hit songs. All are great singers and I love them all. Looking at things subjectively, it mainly depends on one's choice. But when you look at objectively, then Rafi surely takes the cake!
Don't look at which yester-year-singer the media is promoting these days. Go with the facts and you can never be wrong.
@ramaraksha01......... There is a reason why Rafi has always overshadowed Mukesh, Kishore and Manna dey amongst others. Kishore's fame surfaced only during early 70s, after which Rafi was back in the scene. And after Rafi's demise it was his voice-clones that flooded the industry.
@ramaraksha01......... if Rafi is your favourite singer, then I think it is now time to get acquainted with history attached to this legendary singer. Rafi is a singer who did not need a microphone to sing along an orchestra. Many many articles about him will vouch for this fact. I don't know where you get the information that his voice ever drowned.
If I am not mistaken, lyrics are by Rajinder Kishan and music by LP and the magic of Rafi saheb's unmatched singing prowess. The film was made by RK Nayyar - Sadhana's hubby
@joshuadiesel Hi friend. We cannot compare anyone with Rafi saab. He is the sun. Without him you have darkness all over. Yes, you can then look out for the moon. But even the poor moon depends on the sun to project light onto us. You are then reduced to man made light. Rafi was not an ordinary singer. Not even him knew exactly how good he was. And as time goes, we come to realize his greatness. Its only when you are in a place where there is no sun that you really recognise its value.
@Sholay48 when u rank singers by pure singing ability - then it's - Manna Dey, Rafi, Kishore & Mukesh. But if "manly" or "sexy" voice is ur choice then the order would be - Mukesh, Kishore, Manna Dey & Rafi
Rafi voice does not go up much - he was good when the music stayed in the background & prominence was given to the singer. Later on, the music got louder & poor Rafi's voice got drowned out
@ramaraksha01 As to who is one's best singer depends a lot on one's choices, likes and dislikes and to a large extent one's own prejudices. I can read that Rafi does not stand a chance in your book. I judge a singer on the impact he has on the singing world and in my own life. I grew up in Rafi's era. He needs no introduction. It seems that Manna D fits your choice of your best singer. I have to respect that. I can see your satisfaction when you describe that "Poor Rafi's voice got drowned out"
@ramaraksha01 And if I may add. I cannot see where his voice got drowned out. Your statement is unsubstantiated. I do not know how much you are in touch with his later songs, or even with his songs. He has sang hundreds of songs with all the greatest musicians in Indian cinema. Few examples are SJ, Naushad, both the Burmans, Madan Mohan, L&P, Ravi, Roshan, OPN, Usha K etc. He has thousands of hits. SJ's music was loud and I cannot see any problems he had. He even sang loud ones with RD Burman.
@Sholay48 Actually Rafi IS my favorite singer, Mukesh a close second. But most music pundits agree that when it comes to sheer classical singing, Manna Dey is the best. Mukesh, of course, had no training whatsover, he just had a good voice
Rafi's voice is very good for soft songs, music that stayed in the background as most of the songs in the 50's & 60's did, but in the 70's the music got steadily louder, sad to say
Listen to the songs of the 70's like say the Bachann starrer - Parvarish
Mohammad Rafi performed at Saigal show in Lahore after electricity cut. His friends say that his voice was so powerful it was reaching all of the crowd.
Lata in her interviews mentioned that Rafi range and vocal ability was immense.
Manna Dey said that the way Rafi saab used throw this voice no one has ever been able to it.
In recording terms if some does not have a loud voice you can adjust the mixer.
@lahore2 Same thing as the previous post - just because u admire someone, does not mean he is the best in everything. There are some songs that Talat can sing, Rafi can't and vice versa, some songs that Mukesh would do very well, Kishore can't.
One thing i do notice is that a lot of muslims seem to like Rafi - injecting religion into something that has no connection. But of course, we Hindus must not let religion interfere & must like Rafi for his singing?
Ha ha ha ... You really don't know much about music and singing do you? What manly and sexy voice? Don't give stupid reasons. I don't know who'll be able to sing for you if you think Rafi's voice got drowned out, and also don't know which music Pandit's you are talking about. There was only one singer who was able to sing for the main character when Baiju bawra was being made - for someone who could defeat Tansen.... not everyone can sing like that....
@psoni6 the mark of an adult is the ability to take criticism, maybe u are still a child? Just because u admire someone does not mean he or she is perfect. It's called growing up
We are not talking about me, you or some other common man. We are talking about Md. Rafi. You say about 'most music pandits' agreeing to what you believe. A mature and adult mind doesn't "create" false reasons to support his arguments - he gives facts. Can you cite references for your statement about music pandits? What the other people said, they all have references about them - means they are valid arguments. Or you consider yourself as the set of 'most music pandits'?
@psoni6 " for someone who could defeat Tansen." - u realize it is a movie, right? Rafi did not actually beat Tansen? lol. In the movie "padosan" Manna Dey loses to Kishore - in real life that will not happen
this was a different era, when love was a honorable and divine issue, no most of us don't even differntiate between love and lust, I don't know who is going to comprehend the message and melody of these types of songs.
jihone pyaar me dhokha khaya h unka to ye favourite song hoga meri tarah. thanks to rafi sir jinhone itne achhe achhe song hume diye humari tanhaee dur karne k liye.
Too too good! My God! He really had talent! What a voice! Thank God he departed when he did, he wasn't reduced to singing stuff like, tayri naani muree toh mein kyaa kurron and what is your style number, what is mobile number?!
Rafi..one of the greteast sad song..and Sanjay and sadhna look good together..i've watched 'ek phool do maali' where they acted together with Balraj sahni
Rafi sahab at his best. He was a true Indian who took his first breath in India and remained in India by choice and took his last breath in India. He was unique. there won't be any versatile singer like him.
What does India have anything to do with Music..........Enjoy Rafi saab for what he gave us and that is his beautiful voice- please dont bring politics into it!!
Very melodious song sung by M. Rafi saheb, and greatly experssed by Sanjay Khan and he was deep into the meaning of this song. He was very good actor of his time but arrogant, stylish and self-respected actor.
lajawaab... very high pitch.. but the mastery of Rafi.. makes it seem like a cakewalk.. amazing.. Rafi was one among millions... immortal and unforgettable.. we owe a lot to him..

Rafi was the best. Mukesh was Great.
The two best playback singers we have seen.
For those who do not know, Manna Dey, a great singer himself, has humbly said that in spite
of all his efforts, he could never reach the levels of Rafi or Lata.
Even KK knew that Rafi Sahab was a class apart.
All recorded in videos.
