It is so heartening to see the poll go "their" way!
It is but natural for someone older like me to be a fan. For, after all, we grew up with that voice. But to witness an entire generation of young listeners becoming fans after Rafi-sahab was no more with us.................that is so, so thrilling! IMHO, these "new" fans are more discriminative. They are not carried away by the aura of the star on whom the song was picturized or the popularity of the movie in which it was featured. In fact, when you see the actual song sequences in recorded format, mostly in black & white, you would be justified in your disdain for the film-making of those days. So, when you appreciate the song and the singer, you are really truly restricting your appreciation to the musical content and the quality of the rendering. As 'extenok' wrote in another context, good things never go out of style. If you stop trying to make sense of it all, you'll be less confused. Reality is an illusion.
