MOHAMMED RAFI - Tumse Achcha Kaun Hai?


A singer par excellence whose renditions made every song special, distinct & unique.
There is enough & more said about the man & his work.
His attitude is worth emulating.
His humility is evident whenever he has interacted with anyone. Willing to sing for new or established composers, his style & range were simply phenomenal.
Some unforgettable songs to prove that:
O Duniya ke Rakhwale
Yahoo- chahe koi mujhe junglee kahe
Yeh Duniya yeh mehfil
meri duniya mein tum aaye
mere mehboob
mast baharon ka main
Kya hua tera vada
Babul ki duayein leti jaa
Bhichade Sabi bari bari
Jinhe Naaz hai Hind par

How right was Anand Bakshi when he said:

Suro ki surili
Wo parwaz teri
Suro ki surili
Wo parwaz teri
Bahot khub surat
Thi aawaz teri
Zamane ko jisne
Deewana banaya
Mohammed rafi tu
Bahut yaad aaya


Today on his 92nd birthday it is easy to agree with Pablo Picasso who said,


Rafi Saab to me, "Aap hazaar saal jeeyoge!" HAPPY BIRTHDAY:-)
