Dear Shahabji,

Refer your post no. 27. Do you really think a talented music director like RDB would speek so lowly about a great singer like Rafi Saab, that too after all those songs he sang for RDB in movies like Teesri Manzil, Caravan, The Train, Zamane Ko Dikhana Hai, Yaadon Ki Baraat, Hum Kisise Kum Nahin, Pyaar Ka Mausam, Shaan, etc. etc. Some body must be quoting RDB out of context or completly misquoting him. No doubt RDB’s favourite singer was KK which is proved by the number of songs he recorded with KK, but I am sure RDB would not speek in such a manner about Rafi Saab, especially when he was also witness to MR singing such wonderful songs for his dad SDB.

My Dear Gurumurthy,

Iam very happy to read your article, iam also die hard fan of Md.Rafi Saab.
It is very sad that there is no programme or any information about of Idol.

There is K for Kishore is showing in Sony Tv, something similar we have to do somethin for the one and only rafi saab. One more thing i need to clarify from you, i read one article last month in India fm my RD burman, who has given the statement that rafi is nusance and it will be hard for him to sing a song witout re harseal and kishore is the best. What do you comment about this cheap mentality from rd burman

Dear Ashish Kapoorji,

Refer Post No. 21. I have only mentioned in my article that personally I consider “Pyaar Hua Iqrar Hua” as the best ever duet picturised in the history of Indian Film Industry. Again I reiterate that it is purely my personal opinion. I have not mentioned any thing about the Singers, Actors or Movie. Of course any body with taste for old Hindi film music knows that the duet was from the movie SHREE 420, sung by Mannadey and Lataji and picturised so beautifully on Raj Kapoor and Nargis.

Other such beautiful duets picturised well in a unique way (purely my personal opinion) were, Rim Zhim Ke Tarane (KALA BAZAAR), Ye Raat Bheegi Bheegi, Tere Bina Zindagi Se Koi, Aapake Kamre Main Koi (YADON KI BAARAT), Ramiah Vastavayya and Mud Mudkena Dekh (SHREE 420). I am sure all music lovers may not agree with me but as I said earlier it is purely my perosnal opinion.

hi all rafians, i would like to point out a mistake in this article. the song “pyaar hua ikraar hua hai” is from the movie “shree 420″ but it has been picturised on raj kapoor and nargis and has been sung by manney dey and lata.the kaala bazaar song is “khooya khooya chaand, khula aasmaan”. regards ashish kapoor .ashkpr@hotmail.com tel-09810087414,09212587414

Thanks for the brilliant article. I have mentioned about some of the duets of Rafi and Geeta Dutt in my article on Geeta Dutt in http://stationhollywood.blogspot.com
In fact the co-singers you have mentioned including Sharda, Arati Mukherjee had excelled in the duet songs due to Rafi’s presence with them. thanks once again.
