MYAWAN SAB

I respect ur opinion but i dnt think that you have a complete knowledge of Ahmed Rushdi's profile.Rushdi sab is amongst those few singers of south asia who are knwon as universities of music.He had his own very famous style of singing and expressing melodies.This is very sad that these indians out of their biased nature are claiming him Rafi's imitation which amused me a lot.

Once great ghazal singer Mehdi Hassan in an interview said"Ahmed Rushdi is amongst 2 or 3 greatest singers of subcontinent of all times with a unique style "

These are the words of that person who is best in the game.Ahmed Rushdi never copied any 1 in his life and one has to be very careful while writing about sum legend.I have a complete research over Ahmed Rushdi and other big names.I exactly know that Rushdi sahab had extraordinary God gifted talents which no other singer of south asia ever possesed.He never got any formal training of classical singing but when it comes for happy song,sad number,high pitch song,ghazal,qawwali and pop,Rushdi sahab remained the last word for music directors.Neither Rafi copied Rushdi nor Rushdi did that.Giving tributes is a separate thing and a beauty between the legends.
