Ever since i started listening to music i have only and only one favourite:Md rafi.If anybody wants to learn the intricacies and control of rythem he/she must listen to Md.Rafi.He was an emperor amongst the several Kings in his time.Amongst his generation he was untouchable as he had no limitation in terms of voice,sur-scale,and above all versatility.
Only one singer had his kind of mastery over singing and that was Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.
Apart from that he was a perfect picture of a god fearing,and utterly humble persona this made him great amongst others.Some of my favourites song are:
1. Kaarwan gujar gaya gubar dekhte rahe..
2. Mere mitwa mere meet re..
3. Jane walo jara mudke dekho mujhe..
4. Aaj purani rahon se koi mujhe awaj na de...
5. Rahi manwa dukhki chinta kyun satati hai..
6. Parda hai parda..
7. Ek tha diya ek baati..
8. Chalkaye jaam aiye aapki aankhon ke naam..
I pray to god that give another rafi to the generation of sonu,shan,reshamiya.Real tribute to such a soul will be in apreciating good soulful music and consider our selves blessed and proude that we had a singer like Md. rafi Only In India like we are having Lata Mangeshkar.
