I am shocked why are we fighting about who is great and who is not…just be happy that we got to cherish all of them….everybody has a special place….lets not compare them…its an insult to each of them…when Rafi saab was in fame he ruled unanimously…he is the most versatile singer I have ever heard and there is no denying but do not compare him with Kishore da or Lataji…everybody has their time and its people who is responsible whom they like or not…if Kishore da went to fame in the 70′s whats the big deal…everybody gets their time…I agree he did not have the versatility as great as KL Saigal, Rafi sahab, Mukesh or Lata ji and also he was never a trained singer but do not underestimate his lively spirit which he brought into his song which made the people of that time mesmerized and it is the same people who liked earlier Rafi saab also…does that mean they started unliking Rafi saab’s great songs…..no I hope so….so lets not compare the Greats…and for Pancham da whats wrong if he had good chemistry with some singers….if Raj Kaapor favored Mukesh over other singers does it mean he has no taste….so its true for Pancham da too….don’t forget he was instrumental in revolutionizing hindi music and I believed his music was ahead of his time….don’t take that credit from him…..he had ups and down in his career….but don’t we love his songs….he never got the credit for his songs which we make remixes now, re-record his old songs and listen them to a great extent….so what fairness are you talking about…..there is no point questioning about anyone’s ability…as we are not in that position to make such comments…I love both of them singing and they have special places….time played the factor just realize that and I am sure you will not fight for it….I respect all of your personal opinion but do not insult any of them, as they are the pillars of our culture and heritage…..

sri.Binu Nair’s comments are absolutely right. The Mangeshkar family were not used to tolerate any other artist excelling them! both latha ji and Asha ji knew about Rafi Sahab’s towering presence as a co singer. and all the duets they sang with Rafi Sahab reveal the unmatchability of Rafi Sahab. I did not come across a song where either latha ji or Asha ji could equal Rafi sahab’s splendour!! True, Rai is THE GREATEST.

That true rd used kishore da more but only from 1970 to 1977 if am not wrong rd is first music director who gave all songs of the film to mohd rafi and rd last film with mohd rafi(Shaan) rd gave more songs to mohd rafi.
Kishore da was a great singer but that not mean rd liked kishore do more than mohd rafi as rd said that my first song with mohd rafi was hit because of mohd rafi magic voice, also it is not mean if I like some one more that mean he is better that others, as many never saw Pela playing football but they said he is better that maradona .
Mohd rafi sang less for Rajesh k, mr Bachchan and RD but when ever Mohd Rafi sang for them the song was super hit.

kahi padha tha jisme kisi famous gulkar ne kaha hai ki” kaun kahta hai kishore da ko sur, sargam ki samajh nahi thi. yadi unhone sangeet ki tallem nahili to kya ye is baat kko kahna chahiye? nahi hargiz . sangeet sur sargam ki tallem to hum jaise gulukaro’n ko lena padti kishore da jaise fankaron ko nahi kyonki woh to paidayshi sangeet ke jankar the. unhe to ishwar ne saare sur diye the. woh ekmatra gayak the jo sab tarah ke sangeet me gaa sakte the. ye baat aur hai munsifkaron ne unka sahi istemaal nahi kiya. unhe bahut der se pehchana isliye unhe apna style banana pada. unhone sahi raag raginyo me geet gaye hai. wo ek aala darje ke fankar the.”

Some facts been misquoted :

MD for Zakhmee : Bappi Lahiri
MD for Rafoo Chakkar : Kalyanji Anandji

Over all the analysis is good.

I was reading the “so called” Shashi Kapoor’s comment about RD’s music, its an irony that one of his best songs “suhaani chandni raatein” was composed by RD. Someone mentioned that “jhanak jahanak” by manna is based on kalavati, no its darbaari kannada.
