What to say for M Rafi. Wolds are not enough. He is soul of every country man.I get tears whenever I think about the great human and best singer who has ever come to earth.If I have to ask one wish from God please send M Rafi back.Rafi Saheb, till we leave, you will be with us. Long live M Rafi in form of songs
One of my biggest disappointment in life is, I didn’t get a chance to see legends like Rafi sahab’s and Mukesh Sahab’s live show. After so many years we still buy cassettes/CDs and listen to their music , that tells the entire story about their greatness. The only thing I wanted to say is , LONG LIVE Rafi sahib’s music for next 100/1000 years.
As a kid i was bored by his songs when my parents used to hear them very often. Now I realise what a legend he was. His contribution to Indian Music is far from being compared.
Rafi Sahab was a great singer and a wonderful human being too. But no one can ignore the contribution of Kishore Kumar to Hindi film songs. I feel Kishore was the greatest singer followed by Rafi. May Rafi sahab rest in peace.
Mohammed Rafi's rendition leaves one clamouring for more. His was a well-modulated delivery of emotions combined with situational musical notes, in which he himself was totally engrossed - leaving his listeners speechless. on

Nobody who has even a slight sense of music can ever disagree with Prakash. The greatest singer of all times and the only one to have been born in India ! May God continue to bless in soul
As a kid I distinctly remember an occasion when I was mesmerized by that great singer. June 25th, 1983. I was a 9th std kid and keenly watching the W.Indies innings of that great W. Cup. Windies were going great guns with Richards at abt 40 for 1. Tht time there was a break in the DD transmission and a program followed 'Ek Shaam, Rafi ke naam'. Naushad the great musician, was directing the band. And that day I was truly mesmerized by that golden voice of Rafi when he sung that great song 'O duniya ke rakhwale , sun dard bare mere naale' from Baiju Bawra a 1950s classic. I guess that was the divine intervention that was needed and God could not have not listened to that great heart rending melody. And when the transmission resumed, Windies were 5 down..!! Singers like Rafi live forever, and to this day I m enchanted by the sheer quality of Rafi's singing. sans all the electronic gizmos of today. Just download those songs from and u will understand why as a kid I was so amazed by that golden voice of Indian cinema.

Very well said Rajesh ! Mohammad Rafi sahab was truly a great singer. Even as I am writing this mail, my eyes moisten at the thought of Rafi sahab not being there, though 29 years have gone by !

Do you know about whom you are talking about ? You stupid . Here after only comment on reality shows, you are fit for that.
