In Search Of Rafi Songs From 1977 To Onwards Options

[razia]

Well these controversies are never ending and certainly not serving my purpose. Some of you may reckon it as a retreat but I am changing the name of the thread. Pls contribute to this thread by posting songs.

The amount of great songs and hits Rafi saab had during this time (1977 onwards) is just unbelievable. Leave aside the rest of his career, just this one phase is enough proof of his greatness.

The 50's and the 60's he absolutely left all the competition behind, everyone from Lata, Asha to Mukesh, Manna and Kishore etc. acknowledged that he was far ahead of the rest. Has there been any singer who sang for virtually everyone, and had such a wide range, unique melodious and sweet voice combined with being so versatile ?.

The Grand Marshall (along with his son), and he was on the receiving end of lots of nonsense from the media, it didn't bother him, he came back so strongly and proved he was the best.

How did he come back ? (and before controversy starts again, I mean comeback onto the charts as before, even though he was giving hits previously as always).

1977 onwards sees him return the top and from 1979-1982 it is a Rafi show all the way. Anyone who followed the Binaca Geet Mala trends knows for sure the impact Rafi made in those three years with his songs everywhere and other singer's songs hardly around. No male singer has been able to rule the way he did (and for that long), past or present.

I don't know how anyone or why anyone is compared to Rafi, its such a waste of time. Then again he is the benchmark, so its bound to happen.

Member Princeali - You are warned from writing demeaningly about a performing artiste.

Unlike the sisters who played politics, he never indulged in them, and when another talent became popular thanks to the backing of one of my absolute favourite MD's, The Grand Marshall (along with his son), and he was on the receiving end of lots of nonsense from the media, it didn't bother him, he came back so strongly and proved he was the best.

Is this irrelevant reference necessary Mr Prince. Which sisters you are talking
about here??

Not even Lata Mangeshkar made such an impact as Rafi did. She may have been the Diva of female playback singing, but Rafi was ahead of her.

Interesting. How did you arrive at such bogus conclusion?
Lata fans make a note of this please.

not because Rafi was easier to get along with than Lata, but because of the fact that without Rafi, their songs wouldn't have been that great, and they wouldn't be able to present their compositions because no one could sing them besides 'Saatwan Sur'.

Who declared it as fact ? Any supportings you have?
It seems that you have not heard any of Lata-Kishore, Lata-Manna,
Lata-Hemant, Lata-Mukesh duets.

PS: What about other combinations: Rafi-Geeta, Rafi-Asha, Rafi-Suman, Rafi-Shamshad

Your above post contradicts what you have written at other place:
