MOHAMMED RAFI the paragon of humbleness, greatness, pious, all put together. A voice that left a landmark in the world of music. A stalwart who was unparalleled be it his style of singing, or the varying emotions he portrayed in the songs that suited every actor that he play backed for. 23 years have passed by and the reverberation of his voice or his songs continue like the waves that hit the seashore leaving behind a trail of finest silt of impressions in our hearts. I have chosen some his best songs with different music directors. I feel Rafi has excelled marvelously under the Music Directors Shankar-Jaikishan, Laxmikant-Pyarelal and Madanmohan. The “sangam” of Rafisaab and LP is the golden venture of the unmatchable team.
