Comments on: The mammoth myth about Mohammed Rafi http://www.mohdrafi.com/meri-awaaz-suno/the-mammoth-myth-about-mohammed-rafi.html It's all about Mohd Rafi Thu, 08 Jan 2009 11:49:16 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: mohanflora http://www.mohdrafi.com/meri-awaaz-suno/the-mammoth-myth-about-mohammed-rafi.html#comment-3320 mohanflora Wed, 09 Aug 2006 05:10:27 +0000 http://www.mohdrafi.com/meri-awaaz-suno/the-mammoth-myth-about-mohammed-rafi.html#comment-3320 Rafi also sang the following, among others, for RD Burman in the early seventies: RAATON KA RAJA(1970) - all songs hits Door se tera diwana with Asha Aana to sajni din ko aana -solo Mere liye aati hai sham...Raaton ka Raja- solo Mohabbat ser tumhe dekha with Lata and others PARCHHAIYAN(1970)the only full punjabi song by RDB Zara ankhiyaan la laiye- solo GARAM MASALA(1972) hit Mujhko bachale meri ma with Asha SHEHZADA(1972) Tere athroo chun lawan main-solo hit DIL KA RAJA(1972)-hit songs film starring Raj Kumar flop Jao Jao samajhte kya ho-solo Sunder ho aisi- solo Rajeshwari Bhagyeshwari-solo Jinke pas haathi ghora-with Manna Dey DO PHOOL(1973 Armaan tha hamein jinka- hit duet with lata There were other hits too, like in Rampur ka Lakshman(1972), Benaam, Kahte Hain Mujhko Raja, Kasme Vaade etc. before RDB again began taking Rafi big time with scores in Hum Kisise Kum Nahin(1977) and Phandebaaz(four Rafi hits, 1978). If you follow the trend after 1977 you will note that RDB had started depending on Rafi more and his tendency towards Kishore Kumar was cooling off. Cases in point- big budget movies like The Burning Train, Shaan, Zamaane Ko Dikhana Hai, The Great Gambler etc. Just listen to all the songs I have listed above and you will find a freshness not found in scores of RDB with other singers. RDB-Rafi combo rocks! Rafi also sang the following, among others, for RD Burman in the early
seventies:
RAATON KA RAJA(1970) - all songs hits
Door se tera diwana with Asha
Aana to sajni din ko aana -solo
Mere liye aati hai sham…Raaton ka Raja- solo
Mohabbat ser tumhe dekha with Lata
and others

PARCHHAIYAN(1970)the only full punjabi song by RDB
Zara ankhiyaan la laiye- solo

GARAM MASALA(1972) hit
Mujhko bachale meri ma with Asha

SHEHZADA(1972)
Tere athroo chun lawan main-solo hit

DIL KA RAJA(1972)-hit songs film starring Raj Kumar flop
Jao Jao samajhte kya ho-solo
Sunder ho aisi- solo
Rajeshwari Bhagyeshwari-solo
Jinke pas haathi ghora-with Manna Dey

DO PHOOL(1973
Armaan tha hamein jinka- hit duet with lata

There were other hits too, like in Rampur ka Lakshman(1972), Benaam, Kahte Hain Mujhko Raja, Kasme Vaade etc. before RDB again began taking Rafi big time with scores in Hum Kisise Kum Nahin(1977) and Phandebaaz(four Rafi hits, 1978).

Such was the wave then that there was only one singer, even Lata was talked about less than Kishore. Compare Lata's version of "Mere Naina Sawan bhadon" vis a vis Kishore's. To me Lata's song is far superior. Yet die hard Kishore fans think otherwise. Rajiv bhai has mentioned Rafi's so many songs from his "bad years- as I like to call". For any other singer those numbers are good enough, but Rafi being the king and messiah, for us to accept this is little hard, but a fact. I do not think that Kishore da despite his brilliance had nearly as many songs in 50s'60s'and late seventies. Not to forget, Kishore da was very talented and could improvise instantly. Many of his songs are simply amazing. Rajiv ji ’s write reminds us all that although Kishore da ruled hindi music between 1970-1976, Rafi Sahab gave many wonderful songs in the so called Kishore era.

The voice qaulity of Muhammad Rafi was a Blessing of GOD and HIS decisions cannot be challenged. That had already been proved that Muhammad Rafi's was ONE on this earth and he will remain ONE forever. Who was popular in 1960,1970s?? are all baseless points. Muhammad Rafi is a star on skies of his fans hearts and will his voice will continue to mix in airs of INDO-PAK. Only one example is enough that all RAFIANS are writing every day for the GREAT Muhammad Rafi even he has passed since 26 years ago. We need to comment at that topic which being indecisive.

Thanks to Mohan Flora for bringing it out. As stated in the article early 70s expereienced numerous hits of Rafi Sahaab. I still remember how people went crazy about "Botol pe ek baat - from Ghar" despite other KK hits from the same movie. I totally agree with Mr.Pravin that "there can be no doubts. One doesn’t have to look at the sun, to know its shining" To us Rafians Rafi Sahaab is simply The Leader/Guru in the music field and nothing can change that.

Thanks for this amazing write-up, this is a slap on the ungrateful faces. We are believers, for us to see and believe that Rafi is the greatest, is like believing that right now you and me are breathing. For those who don’t believe...its a shame. I, like any other Rafi follower, there can be no doubts. One doesn’t have to look at the sun, to know its shining. LONG LIVE THE KING. Cheers!! Pravin. Rajiv.
