Dear friends,
Can someone clarify the above query of mine? I have raised this query because I have some evidence of it, but still am not 100% sure!!! ![]() Venkat This post has been edited by venkat: Jul 1 2009, 08:02 PM I have changed many views in life since my childhood, but not my view of Rafi Saab as the God-sent Gandharva who visited this Earth briefly to spread ultimate ecstasy among genuine music-lovers!

Definitely not Rafi. Ahmed Rushdi was a pale imitation. I'm not a Rafi fan, but have to admit the man knew his stuff backwards! If he had taken this very song and sung it, he would have added so much depth to it. unrelated to the topic.....n probably inappropriate here.......but if rafi new his stuff backwards...and cuddav added much more depth to the song......why dont u like rafi/r not a rafi fan ? Hey BTM Thats not a yes/no question ![]() I guess the reason I'm not a Rafi fan is because he has a pronounced Punjabi accent. Having lived in Punjab for the first half of my life and seen many punjabi singers on PTV consciously or unconsciously imitate Rafi, I grew a bit weary of the voice/style of singing. A Shamshad or Zohrabai may also have suggested a punjabi accent in singing urdu/hindi songs. But they were not copied nearly as much. But, that does not detract from his obvious ability as a singer. Dear I've lived whole of my life in Punjab and believe me Rafi's accent is very very clear without any deviation towards certain regional language. ============================== For me, listening to Mohammad Rafi is an addiction! |
