There never was and there never be a singer of his versatility and calibre for all times to come.
People have tried and people will try to be as good as he was but alas, take it from me they shall never ever succeed in duplicating Rafi's magic or even come close to it. Rafi was incomparable and shall remain so as long as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west.
He is number one and the others start 11th onwards.
Leave him alone. Nobody should even daydream of coming close to him and displacing from his numero UNO position. This pace has ben retired from the face of this universe.
Let the Mangeshkar sisters who are hell bent on stalling the Pedder Road flyover also learn something from this great man who was not only a great singer but even a greater human being. I do not think he would have objected to the flyover which would make it simpler and easier for so many lacs of fellow human beings. Greatness with humility is something all of us should learn from this man who left us over 25 years ago and made music lover orphans for all time to come.
