Music is by Madan Mohan...............

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 hours 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.

Thank you my friend.

Please be kind enough to let me know any other spelling mistakes I have done, unknowingly. I really appreciate it.

Please see the following song and let me know if a correction is needed.

"Lata - Yeh Shyam Ki Tanhaiyan - Aah [1953]".

Thank you,

[qiron]

Yuan, you are right. These things can be sensitive but I did not look at it that way. I saw it as a genuine spelling error and nothing more. I also know that Hindi is not your language & even then you are doing wonderful work by uploading these lovely songs. Amazing. A small error like this is no big deal. I see you have corrected it. Take care.

[yuanyuanyuanyin]

I am sorry, my friend for the mistake, due to not knowing the Hindi language. I will correct it immediately. I know that these things are of very sensitive nature and thank you very much for pointing this out.

Take care.

Yuan I dont mean to be rude, but your title of the song says "Ek Haseen 'Shyam' ko" The SHYAM is another name of Krishna. "SHAAM" means evening, which is what you perhaps want to say.

Awesome song! Hats off to Rafisaab & Madan Mohan
