It makes him feel good when he is alive and if given posthumously makes his relatives and friends feel proud. The legend that was Rafi Sahab will live on long after we all are gone, irrespective of awards. As a playback singer, his talent was his ability to mimic and project his voice singing to the varied situations in different films. As many people have said above, he sang filmi, non-filmi songs in various languages, qawaalis, ragas, thumris, patriotic and bhajan songs and many others. But he was only a singer and we can only apreciate his vocal talent. We must never forget that the lyrics to the songs he sang in films and elsewhere were written by the masters of poetry- the lyricists and their words were set to music by the famous music composers. Rafi Sahibs voice enhanced and did justice to the sentiments of the lyricists and to the music of the composers. Awards are just a token of appreciation of a persons ability.

All the 7 together with Rafi Sahab gave us the maximum number of hits in the 40s 50s and 60s. These were followed by Kalyanji Anandji,R.D.Burman,Ravi,Chithragupt,Usha Khanna and others who gave us icing on the Foundtion Cake. We friends used to watch movies to hear Rafi sahabs songs and its picturisation and not on the basis of actors. P.narayanan Dear Fans and music lovers,
