@baabala! I agree with you a 100% in what you had stated. Gone are the good days of musical excellence. As with time changes had created a great deal of deterioration in all aspect. It's really sad.
It was Talat Mahood who had the honor to sing the greatest song in the history of music. A masterpiece tune composed by no other than Shankar Jaikishan. Filmed on Dalip Kumar. A great mile stone in the history of music. I must have played this this tune thousands of time. Lahori Munda from New York
the classics remain unrivalled in the annals of cultural history. they have a regal dignity and lucid beauty grossly lacking in the bollywood films of today....
I heard this song when I was in std.8 and i love tala sahab voice, then for ever i make collection of his songs whether filmi or non filmi, last year i collectr some vedio and CD-DVD buy on line from his son khalidji. may be some of them i will down load this web. Vipin Batavia-NEW YORK
As a music lover who has listened to them for years (including thousands of songs Yesudas has sung in 4 south indian languages) , there is no doubt in my mind that these three are in the same league. One cannot say who is the best though. Talat excelled in soulful rendering, Rafi in melodies and Yesudas in totally difficult classical based compositions.
But hey, to each his own. We can agree to disagree.
and a 7 time national award winner doesn't need my plug :)
That is a list with very impressive names. The only issue I see with names in there, expect Kishore Kumar's is that they haven't proven their versatility in singing all kinds of songs.
Mahendra Kapoor - Nostalgic "gum bhari" songs
Hemant da - poignant Songs expert
Ghulam Ali - Ghazal king..
Kishore sang all kinds of songs, so did S.P.B, but I feel they don't quite fit into the category of these three because their voices are not as divine as this trio's.
I admit to being not on the money, but I cannot agree that the voices are not comparable. Let me explain. The quality of voices can of course be compared; and the place of Rafi is unquestionable in out Indian way of singing. Perhaps he would not have been considered the #1 singer in western operas. That having been said, my opinion of KJY and even SPB is based only upon what little they sang in Hindi, I perhaps do not know their true range and singing abilities.
he has a rich silken voice k.kumar mohd rafi have their alternative but talat is the only singer who doesn't have anybody to copy him.Talat is exceptional singer
there is another slower sad version in Talat's Voice too. The song in the movie is sung twice at different tempos. By the way the raga is Yaman Kalyan
i heard that talat used to sing plenty of joyful songs before his brother died... he took his brothers death to his heart a bit too much and then he sand plenty of sad songs and u can really feel the sadness in his voice (anybody confirms what i have heard?)

Are you insane? Yesudas is good, but not in league with Rafi or Talat. lol Not unless you want to give a 'plug' to Yesudas for whatever reason.

Umm...Ok, I will agree with that. But then you have a fairly long list with Mahendra Kapoor, Hemant, Kishore, Ghulam Ali and a few more, I am sure.

In any case, I have no doubt that Rafi would have sang with same virtuosity in Tamil of Telugu. lol....not equally sure of other singers. :)
