Rafi’s voice have dignity to stars and AB was no exception. With all due respects with KK’s voice AB appeared like a Budtameez.

RAFI COULD EASILY SING ANY SONGS MUCH BETTER.

Ref posts 17 and 18:
Nice to find someone who shares my views. IMO, there’s yet another reason (apart from those you were pointinting out) which makes Rafi sahab a singer for all actors- the sheer nature of his voice. His voice had a strong (or deep) base topped by a smooth polish. With this combo, he could try out different things. The voice which gelled perfectly with the macho man Dharam could go beautifully with the boyishly handsome Rishi. That’s why I’m said I’m confident that given enough opportunities, Rafi sahab could easily have become AB’s voice too.

The sterling fact, the uncontrovertible truth is that Rafi Sahaab’s voice is the voice for ALL REASONS, ALL SEASONS, and a versatility that fitted the actors like a glove, especially because there was an actor in him and he translated the acting scene of the actor into his voice emoting all the shades of the lyrics, the setting, the theme, the expression, the melody, the requirement of the scene, holding on to the words where required, and finally when adjusting to the real life when requested.

Anil,
You’ve hit the nail right on the head by your observation that you feel rather odd when these people sing in KKs voice.
The above fact can be more understood by millions of persons, like me, who lived through those decades. As we all know, just hearing Rafi Sahaab’s voice we could make out who the actor would be - of course unless the person was a rank newcomer, say Sushil Kumar in Dosti.
Personally, I used to find it incredulous and feel uncomfortable when Dharmendra or Shashi or others lip-synching KK’s voice. This is not to insinuate that KK voice is not good, but merely to indicate that the actor and the singer looked and sounded different entities. This may not be too evident to the younger generation.

ReF. post 15.
Thanx for the compliments, Manish bhai. RDB was succesful in fixating KK’s voice to a lot of Rafi-actors (like Dharam, Jeetu and Sashi) during his reign. Personally I feel it rather odd when these ppl. sing in KK’s voice, at the same time it doesn’t feel too odd when Rafi Sahab sings for say Rajesh or AB.
