To adorn his tributes with superlatives that we are used to using almost everywhere, would make this tribute commonplace. For me Rafi Saheb defined the thresholds of melody. His engaging and pure voice and emotions made inspiring hearing. To this day a shiver passes through when you hear "Kar chale hum fida jaano tan saathiyon, ab tumhare hawale watah saathiyon".
Rafi Saheb, you have made music more meaningful. Thanks for enriching the world.
