Mohammed Rafi (Hindi: मोहम्मद रफ़ी, Urdu: محمد رفیع; December 24, 1924 July 31, 1980), often addressed as Rafi Sahib, was an Indian playback singer whose career spanned four decades and is one of the most versatile male singers in the history of Indian cinema. Rafi sang in many Indian languages including Hindi, Urdu, Bhojpuri, Punjabi, Bengali, Marathi, Sindhi, Kannada and Telugu. He also recorded English and Persian songs. He is primarily remembered, however, for his Hindi songs, which still remain very popular in India today and also among the Indian diaspora. He dominated the Bollywood music industry from the 1950s to the 1970s along with Mukesh, Manna Dey, and Kishore Kumar.

Between 1950 and 1970, Rafi was one of the most sought after singers in Bollywood.

In 1965, he was honoured by the Government of India with the Padma Sri award.

On Thursday, July 31, 1980, Rafi died at 10:50 p.m., following a massive heart attack. His last song was "Shaam phir kyun udaas hai dost" (Aas Paas), which he had recorded with Laxmikant-Pyarelal couple of days before his death. He was survived by four sons (Saeed Rafi, Khalid Rafi, Hamid Rafi, Shahid Rafi), 3 daughters (Parveen, Nasreen, Yasmin) and 18 grandchildren. Naushad wrote on Rafi's Death- " Goonjte hai teri awaz ameero ke mahal me. jhopro ki gharibon me bhi hay tere saaz, yu to apne mousiki par sab ka fakr hota hai magar ay mere saathi mousiki ko bhi aaz tujh paar naaz hai "

Rafi's funeral procession was recorded on a very rainy day in Mumbai. A portion of that same recording has been used in one of the Hindi movie released later. It was one of the biggest funeral processions mumbai had ever witnessed, with over 10,000 people attending.

The Padma Shri Mohammed Rafi Chowk in the Bandra suburb of Mumbai is named after Rafi. Lata Mangeshkar quotes on Rafi- " saral man ke insan Rafisab, bahut suriley the, yea meri khus kismati hai ke maine unke saath sabse jada gana gaye. gana kaise bhi wo aise ga lete the ke gana na samajhne wale bhi bah bah kar utht te the. Aise gayak bar bar janam nahi lete."

A documentary about Rafis life is under production by The Films Division of India.

On September 22, 2007 a shrine to Rafi designed by artist Tasawar Bashir was unveiled in Birmingham. Bashir is hoping that Rafi will attain sainthood as a result.

Yuan i love this song so much. i always feel no actor can truly act out the emotions Rafi Sahab portraits in his voice. But here Shashi kapoor's acting on screen totally matches Rafi Sahab's play back spontaneity. I have heard and watched this song countless times but every time the song seems fresh and breath taking.

Thanks yuan for posting this gem.♥

My compliment, the sound and quality of this song is perfect, Mohammed Rafi Sahib is unforgettable legend, he still lives in our hearts although he has left this univers for many decades and still his voice and his songs give us so much joy, and many good old memories from our childhood when we listened to this great legend. God bless, Khushy100

very nice song

[missperfect2010ful]

@supersynch For instance there is song "Maine pee sharab tumne kya piya". This excellent song was picturised on Balraj Sahni. He could not portray well the role of emotionally drunkard man. If it were picturised on Dilip Kumar or Guru Dutt it would have greater impact on song.

[missperfect2010ful]

@supersynch I know he is Rafi Sahab who sings like Shashi Kapoor. Rafi ji can sing like any actor but it is rare to see any actor matches with Rafi sahab's emotions on screen. Many of Rafi ji's great songs are destroyed by picturising on undeserving heroes, But Shashi kapoor is incredible.

@missperfect2010ful Actually, it is Rafi Sahab who is singing like he is Shashi Kapoor.
