					<description>Of restraint &#38; control by tavaishnav
Critics of master singer Mohammed Rafi most often harp on one thing - that Rafi was often very loud. I must say you can produce many songs as evidence that this was so. Many music directors, I guess, have composed songs based on a very high pitch and with loud accompaniment mainly to take advantage of Rafi’s ability to scale those high pitches. Mahendra Kapoor’s case is even more stark, and he has sung some mind-bogglingly high-pitched songs (na munh chhupaa ke jiyo, I am sure, has some ultrasonic frequency components).

Here I wish to point out that Mohammed Rafi was actually a master of the soft, restrained, controlled songs as well. I list below ten very restrained Rafi songs, executed with breathtaking control by him. Most of the songs remain in the lower sur’s throughout, and have a vilambit taal, as far as I can tell. Each one has been tuned by a different music director, and have been selected so as to note that this forte of Rafi was widely noticed and made use of. This is by no means an exhaustive list of such songs.

1. man re, tu kaahe na dheer dhare (music: Roshan, lyrics: Sahir, film: Chitralekha)
Hailed by Asha Bhosle as the best male playback song in Hindi ever composed, this has also been chosen as the best Hindi film song ever, period, by a panel of 20 judges from the film music industry in a recent poll by Outlook magazine. But regardless of these opinions, listening to this song, you get the idea of perfection in human effort. Lyrics, composition, singing come together brilliantly to convey the intensely philosophical mood of the song.

2. koi saaGar dil ko bahalata nahin (music: Naushad, lyrics: Shakeel, film: Dil Diya Dard Liya)
The Naushad-Rafi combination did not hold as much charm in its later years as in the late ’40s and early ’50s. This ghazal is an exception. The measured tones and Rafi’s great command over the drunken mood drive home the unremitting despondence in the words of the ghazal.

3. apani to har aah ik tuufaan hai (music: S. D. Burman, lyrics: Shailendra, film: Kala Bazaar)
This is one mischievous song. Picturised in a train (or, maybe, in a set of a train), it is apparently philosophical and addressed to God (uparwala), but is actually addressed to the lady in the upper berth. Here Rafi’s voice is extra-soft, making a plea, and makes the song thoroughly enjoyable.

4. koi sone ke dilwala, koi chaandi ke dilwala (music: Salil Chaudhary, lyrics: Majrooh, film: Maya)
This song makes you wish there were many more Salil-Rafi songs, but unfortunately, Salil Chaudhary himself did not share this enthusiasm. This piano song has a breezy pace and Rafi glides on a velvet carpet throughout. The easygoing pace of the song is a musical euphemism, since the words convey disillusionment (mehfil ye nahin teri, deewane kahin chal).

5. ik haseen shaam ko dil mera kho gaya (music: Madan Mohan, lyrics: Raja Mehdi Ali Khan, film: Dulhan ek Raat Ki)
This is Rafi at his utterly romantic best, starting from the humming in the prelude to the end. Rafi displayed a great felicity in enunciating certain words, such that those words seemed to acquire new meaning. The shaam in the mukhda is pronounced so beautifully here that it makes the environment of a romantic evening come alive.

6. huii shaam unka khayaal aa gaya (music: Laxmikant-Pyarelal, lyrics: Majrooh, film: Mere Humdum Mere Dost)
Laxmikant-Pyarelal had some wonderful tunes up their sleeves in the initial years of their career. In this reflective song of remembrance, notice that Rafi pronounces shaam more conventionally (with less improvisation) compared to the earlier song.

7. akele men vo ghabarate to honge (music: Khayyam,  film: Shola aur Shabnam
This beautiful song is from the early days of Rafi and the very early days of Khayyam. The latter’s mastery over tunes and the slight classical tint that he gave to so many songs are both visible in this song.

8. ham aur tum aur ye samaa (music: Usha Khanna, lyrics: Majrooh, film: Dil Deke Dekho)
I can imagine how proud Usha Khanna must have felt on composing this fantastic song in her debut effort. Rafi used to make an extra effort for new and less renowned music directors, and he imbues this song in blissful romance.

9. jaag dil-e-deewana, rut jaagi vasl-e-yaar ki (music: Chitragupt, lyrics: Majrooh, film: Oonche Log)
Feroze Khan was immensely fortunate to have this longingly romantic song picturized on him. Chitragupt has tuned this exceptionally well, and Majrooh has written magnificently. Rafi does justice to both, conveying the pining of the hero in the slight vibrations in his voice while starting each stanza.

10. vo ham na the, vo tum na the (music: Iqbal Qureshi, lyrics: Neeraj, film: Cha Cha Cha)
What a superlative song this is! If you ever wanted to listen to the so-called silken voice of Rafi, listen to this song. Brilliantly written for a melancholy mood, this song is sung in an extremely cultured voice, reflecting the great amount of work singers used to expend in preparation for songs in those days. The other great Rafi solo from this film is more well-known - subah na aayee, shaam na aayee, and it reaches the high, high pitch that I started off referring to.</description>

					<description>Dear Anmol and Sagar,


LATAJI DIDN'T LIKE ME PROMOTING NEW SINGERS,” says Ravindra Jain 
Faridoon Shahryar, IndiaGlitz [Thursday, November 16, 2006]  
 
“Lata ji didn’t like me promoting new singers,” says Ravindra Jain, the veteran music composer who made a comeback with Sooraj Barjatya’s ode to marriage ‘Vivah’ recently. Winner of the prestigious ‘Lata Mangeshkar Award’ conferred on him this year by the Maharashtra Government, Jain considers the rendition of ‘Ram Teri Ganga Maili’ by Lata as one of her best. “I introduced singers like Hemlata with ‘Ankhiyon Ke Jharoke Se’ as I wanted new talent to come forward, but somehow Lata ji didn’t like that,” he adds. 

Known for soulful melodies, Ravindra Jain started his career with ‘Sunayna’ and earned fame with one of Amitabh Bachchan’s earlier films ‘Saudagar’. ‘Tera Mera Saath Rahe’ and ‘Sajna Hai Mujhe Sajna Ke Liye’ from that film are golden melodies that touch the soul even today. He went on to compose songs like ‘Gori Tera Gaon Bada’, ‘Jab Deep Jale Aana’, ‘Main Hoon Khushrang Henna’, ‘Le Jayenge Le Jayenge’, ‘Ghungroo Ki Tarah’ which still reverberate in the collective unconscious of the country. He also gave music for Ramanand Sagar’s television serial ‘Ramayan’. 

His latest offering ‘Vivah’ is a mixed bag. ‘Mujhe Haq Hai’ attracts immediately while the rest of the song appeal in the context of the film. Ravindra Jain is a true gem of the soil who is an inspiration for all those who are handicapped and yet attained a lot in life. Being blind hasn’t deterred him from writing lyrics and composing for numerous films and private albums. IndiaGlitz salutes his giant achievements</description>

					<description>Dear Mohan,

Unlike Music Composer Ramlal, Jaidev also had to live under similar circumstances.

It the above artcile which mentoins Jaidev winning 3 National Awards, still did not get his dew. The song "'Kabhi khud pe kabhi halat pe rona aya" Sung by Rafi Saab represents Jaidev's last years the best.</description>

					<description>Dear Sagar,

Thanks for the information on Ravindra Jain's latest composition sung by Udit Narayan. Certainly it would be interesting to listen. Rafi Saab's loss to Ravindra Jain can be seen from the excellent tribute given by him.  

Regarding Suresh Wadker he does not consider singers without classical knowledge. Since he is himself a classically trained singer certainly understands Rafi Saab the best.</description>

					<description>Dear ATM Salim,

First of all thanks for the compliments. Secondly I am grate full to you for providing us detailed information on Rafi Saab's contribution to Bengali Songs.  

Rafi Saab's voice suits every era of music whether Indian Classical or Western, etc. During his lean phase there are many hits which Rafi Saab has delivered both filmy and Non filmy.</description>

					<description>Dear Mohan Flora,
I was deeply touched by the article on Ramlal tragedy. If Rafi sab would have seen this he would have offered all the help needed to Ramlalji.
As for competition Rafi sab was above all and it would have been not a surprise that He would have ruled like an Emperor  till now. Even after 26yrs he is the heart of all the masses who love melodious music.

Dear Harvinder,
All middleaged persons like me are not computer sauvy ofcourse with some exceptions. Infact being an ardent fan of Rafi sahab unfortunately i got associated with this excellent site this year only. I used to write to Screen and other newspapers in their letter to editor column highlighting Rafi Sahabs Bharat ratna and other memorials.
Infact I am happy that I could get in touch with very dedicated Rafians on mobile and partly email who are keen to bring Rafi Sahabs popularity to the TV media and develop program to honour him in this media. 
Also this group exhanges songs amongst fans which is ably supported by the prominent persons in this web.
Also if god willing a doc film on Rafi Sab comprising of his career will be made and english biography with the able support of all Rafians.

					<description>Dear Anmol,
Thanx for your response to the Ramlal tragedy. I really feel sorry for such souls!
The indian film industry is most unpredictable and so are the people attending to it. Like they say" chaadte suraj ko salaam and doobte ko doobao"! Even though the end life experiences of some may have been due to the excesses of the earlier life-style, however, in majority of the cases it is not so. The system has become so competitive and rat-raced that latest trend and goat mentality of the audience bypasses good talent and many of the deserving are left wanting. I hope the industry-film and music -along with with the artistes make themselves disasterproof in the future and we fans are not left wondering about their fates! We should be left doing what we are best at doing-enjoying their music!

By the way, just listen to this last Rafi-Kishore duet and wonder what Rafi would have done to the competition were he still alive!
