Thanks a lot for giving an oppurtunity to see these photogaraphs.It led to nostalgia imagining our own rafi saab going to school .My eyes are filled with tears as I am writing this comment.
I love you rafi saab.
November 3rd, 2007 at 8:57 pm
I am very greatful for these photographs.It took me down memory lane imginging a little rafi saab with school bag.My eyes swelled with tears as i am writing this comments.Anything related to rafi saab makes me emtional.
And again as in my all comments , I again dream of the day when the media,industry,govt etc will give rafi saab his due.I would like to remind that on KK’s birthday channels were airing programme and praising him about his superficial and hyped greatness.I could not help but sympathize on these fellows who do not have any knowledge about singing and praise the unworthy.To me frankly he is a street singer .
My rafi saab is always ignored by all except his fans.Can some one Binuji if you are reading tell me the reason for ignoring the godly voice of rafi saab by one and all & what can we do in our own small way to change this attitude.I look upon you as our leader as far as anything related to rafi saab is concerned.So PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS .
I will as usual say that wherever you are rafi saab you will be always in my heart and not a single day goes by without ever remembering you and humming your song.Today I was humming the song ‘aaj ki raat mere dil ki salami le le”.What a great voice.
Long live rafi saab.

I agree with Santosh with the over hype exposure of other singers, not to say Kishore da was not a great singer as he was in his own right, but it is not difficult to honestly observe who really stood out from the rest!
I was recently watching one of the popular satelillte music channels where an individual was praising Kishore da but continued to say that Kishore was everybody’s best favourite singer which I thought ????, with no disrespect to Kishore da himself, its not hard to understand that kishore’s hyped popularity is mainly due to RD Burman’s magic of specifically tunning his catchy modern compostions to suit Kishore’s slightly limited vocability & range. However RD Burman’s “Kya huwa tera vaada” composition had won Rafi the Filmfare award & National award. As far as I am aware this was never acheived with Kishore despite the number of RD & Kishore hits.
The media knows who really was the greatest but they simply just don’t want to admit it in the open.

post 10,11 and 12
Yes it is indeed true that Rafi saab is the greatest playaback singer in the bollywood. If some channels are highlighting other singer pl send the channel’s feedback email id immediately to binus2000@hotmail.com and bangaloreconsultancy@hotmail.com.
Infact a young fan Abahash Joshi who is just 17years is a big fan of Rafi saab and is a hot contender in the top 3 postions in Star Voice of India.
So kindly send ur views with detailed email ids of such biased satellite channels to us

I have a many collection of Mohd Rafi’s songs and photographs, In past years I was working as a administrative assistance in a school and once I got a chance to visit a school in Mahim, after finishing my work I was on the way to my home, on that way I notice a photo studio their it was a marvelous display of Mohd Rafi’s original photo, at once I bought it, because it was an additional or special collection for me, at present I am in Abu Dhabi as a administrator and that original photo is in India at my home, when ever I visit India I will email that photo to your website.
Now I am sending a poem of Naushad about Mohd Rafi.
Tujhe nagmo ki jaan ahle nazar yuhi nahi kahte,
Tere gitoon ko dil ka hamsafar yuhi nahi kahte,
Dukhi they lakh phir bhi mutmaeen they dard ke marey,
Teri awaaz ki shabnam se dhul jate they gham sarey,
Teri tanoo mein husne zindagi leta tha angdaee,
Tujhe allah ne baksha tha andazey masihaee,
Tu hi tha pyar ka ek saaz is nafrat ki duniya mein,
Ganimat thi teri awaz is nafarat ki duniya mein,
(Rafi sahab ki awaz ta qayamat hamarey dillo mein mehfuz rahegi)
Mehfilo key daman mein sahiloon key aas paas,
Yeh sadaa gunjegi sadiyon tak Dillon key aas paas
