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.

Admin,

How has my post in any way been demeaning ?. I have just stated what is written out there on the Net. Are you telling me that we cannot express opinions ?. Then what is this forum for ?. If you look at my track record, I have never written demeaning or objectional posts, and I never intend to. I am a senior member of this forum (by that I mean I've been here from the time the forum started) and if a member has complained, then I think they don't know the difference between demeaning posts, actual posts that degrade an artist and ones that express an opinion. It's a pity that the situation has come to this, warning members who express opinions, and not taking action against members who write filth. I guess gone are those days where justice is served.

If I express an opinion mentioning Rafi had the backing of everyone of the "Big MD" camp, and Lata did not, it is an opinion based on lots of proof. If someone writes the same about Lata vis a vis Rafi, it is again an opinion and in no way demeaning to Rafi. Are you going to warn a member if they write that about Rafi on the Lata forum, when it is in no way demeaning or objectionable ?. If it is their opinion, let it be, when it comes down to it, tell them to show proof.

There are far more hedious posts that are written in HF, to edit mine is hilarious because it doesn't contain anything demeaning or objectionable. How is anybody to discuss anything if we can't express our opinions ?.

Its alright though, if a member complains, it is your job to take action, I understand, so its best if we leave it at that. Certain members don't know the difference between what is demeaning and what isn't, they let their emotions get in the way.

I simply stated the obvious which was not demeaning nor objectionabe at all. It's sad it is seen that way. Some of my friends on this forum have in the past been warned for expressing their opinion in a totally undemeaning way, I don't understand why, but I know its because some members can't bear to see the reality of things.

Cheers
