The singer Anwer said he tried to sing ‘TUM NE MUJE DEKHA HOKAR MEHARBAN”but he can’t sing this song it was greatness of Anwer that he said that,when Shammi Kapoor with mohd Raf it was not imporatant who is MD.
there are some great MD if u take Mohd Rafi from there music they have nothing in there music,I don’t mean in this they are great because of Mohd Rafi but they did great work with mohd Rafi.If I am not wrong Teesri Manzil is RD best film ever because all songs in teesri manzil was superhit.Mohd Rafi has hit songs with all MD he singed for and actors.Actor like Raj Kapoor and Manoj Kummar who didn’t used Mohd Rafi much but they said that Mohd Rafi is the best…………

There are hundread of songs of rafiji sang for shammi kapoor which are my favourite , rafiji always sang whole heartedly for shammiji and also i think that even music directors compose specially best tunes from theire stock for shammiji .may it SJ,OP,UK, KA,or RD

RD is marvellous in teesri manzil all songs solo or duet by rafiji were hit , but music lover has to give all marks to TUM NE MUJE DEKHA HOKAR MEHARBAN -a beutifully sang by rafi ,composed,and lyrics,a 100% result.

there were few lucky Bollywood heros who frequently used Rafi Saab’s golden voice. Among them Dilip Kumar, Shammi Kapoor, dharmendra, shashi kapoor, rejendra kumar, dev anand and many more can be listed. his voice was suitable to every character that appeared on the silver screen. May be it was legendary dilip kumar or an unknown faced beggar. I can not remember the face of the beggar who sang the song “O PAGLE DER NA HOGI PAL CHHINKI KE JIS DIN CHAL CHAL CHAL HOGI” (Kinare kinare) or the beggar who sang
“YA KAH DE HUM INSAN NAHI” (Balraj sahni -nirupa roy movie), but I still remember these songs only because Rafi Saab’s immortal voice. Not only immortal, but evergreen voice.
In this series shammi kapoor was, no doubt, the luckiest hero who was given never-forgettable songs like DIL TERA DEEWANA HAI SAMAN…DID DEKE DEKHO…TUMSA NAHI DEKHA…YAAR CHULBULA HAI…MUJHE APNA YAAR BANALO…HAI DUNIYA USIKI…YE CHAND SA ROSHAN CHEHRA…and many many more. So when rafi saab expired on 31st july, shammi kapoor was informed ” SHAMMI SAAB,AAPKI AAWAZ CHALI GAYEE…”

i like the mohd.rafi and shammi kapoor pair and i agree that there couldnt have been any better singer to match the cool style of shammi kapoor with his voice .Having said that i also agree that whichever songs rafi saab lent his voice for are superhits with or without shammi kapoor.He was gifted in a very good way and i cant think of any other singers who sang for a variety of ppl
but rafi saab .Forget the main leads he sang for comedians too and made those songs unforgettable.”yeh hai bombay meri jaan”from CID and the “sar jo tera takraye ” from Pyasa which had johnny walker on screen are as popular as any other track which is picturised on a leading hero.

Mohd Rafi ! As soon as this name appears in front of me, I am recharged. The name itself gives me enthusiasm. And the voice…no words to express about God’s miraculous creation. I think we all are created by angels, but Rafi Saab was created by God himself. Till the dooms day there will no other Mohd Rafi. May his devine soul be in eternal peace !

RAFI SAAB was a farishta indeed as Shammi Kapoor said. Once one of my friends asked old days playback singer Sudha Malhotra about RAFI SAAB and she replied..”RAFI SAAB aur ek saal ka bacha, bus ek samajh lo.” So simple was this great singer. There is hardly a day when I do not listen to his devine voice in my player. But unfortunately I have never and nowhere seen this great singer in any live programme. I wish if someone can share his/her treasure of a cassette/cd with me.
My good wishes to one and all.
