Memories of Mohammed Rafi
by Sharad Desai on Oct 01, 2006 10:39 PM

I met Rafisahab in 1978.I found him very soft spoken.It was difficult to believe that this person is so different when he is in front of Mike. I Had opportunity to discuss with him and share my feelings.During the course of discussion I asked him, how is that the song we listen, tells us it is voice of Dilip kumar,Shammi kapoor,Rajendra kumar,Johny walker,Dharmendra,Biswajit, Shashi kapoor, Sunil Dutt, Mehmmod, Jeetendra,and many more. His reply was, I am told who is the hero, situation, and I sing by heart, entering into the situation with the hero in mind by his body, style, speed etc. For the recent heroes like Rishi,Amitabh,he said it is also skill of them to adjust with his voice.
I asked him which song for following, comes in his mind at that moment.He said:
Dilip Kumar :Tute huve khabone
Shammi Kapoor :Is rang badalati
Rajendra Kumar :Chehre pe giri
Johny Walker :Mai Bambai ka
Dharmendra :O mazi chal
Biswajit :Tukade hai mere
Shashi Kapoor :Ek tha Gul
Sunil Dutt :Aaj kal mein dhal
Mehmood :Ye teri sadagi
Jeetendra :Aanese usake
Amitabh :Teri bindiya
Rishi :Parda hai
