Geeta Dutt had sung over 150 duets with the great Mohammed Rafi, her highest number with any singer. Now, Mohammed Rafi, the singer-par-excellence, needs no new introduction. He was a colossus that ruled the Indian Film Music for over three decades all the way unto his untimely death in 1980. Even after his death, he was continuing to eternally rule the hearts of genuine music-lovers of successive generations. (more…)

Tum se kahoon ek baat paron se halki
Raat meri hai chhawon tumhare hi aanchel ki

When I first listened to this splendid song of film Dastak (1970), I just stunned. It amazed me a lot. I never thought that such an artistic work could be part of a film. The amazingly awesome lyrics, brilliant composition and gorgeous rendering made this song the greatest ever of its genre. (more…)

The second edition of a biography of Mohammad Rafi “Meri Aawaz Suno” hits the stands. We know Mohammad Rafi as a singer par excellence and have grown up on his songs. But we have barely given a thought that he sung several songs for lesser known characters in films. We barely know the names of those who sang those songs in the film, but know the songs too well.

Rafii Saab’ songs are legend and are hummed even today after so many years. Rafiji has sung so many full length songs, i.e, mukhda and all antaras, but some times enters only in antara and has invariably stolen the show.

When we visualise the golden era of music in Indian cinema we primarily think about the giant music directors like Shankar Jaikishan, Naushad, etc., or lyricists like Shakeel Badayani, Shailendra, Majrooh Sultanpuri or singers like Rafi, Lata who made major contribution to the music of that age. Among the legendary giants there were other composers who composed music for less number of films but created their identity and everlasting appeal even with the less number of compositions. Jaidev and Khayyam are two composers who received numerous awards for their classic performance and still remain few of the offbeat composers without whom the firmament of music would be colourless.

This appeal is from all Rafi fans and members of The Rafi Foundation.

A fervent, passionate appeal to correct what all his legion of admirers and devotees righteously feel is a historic wrong. The mortal remains of, what the world undisputably acknowledges, of the legendary Mohammad Rafi may have bereaved us 27 years ago, but his ageless voice continues to throb and pulsate in our hearts even today.
