Dear friends,

Can someone clarify the above query of mine?

My dear myawan; Ahmed Rushdi had a different style of singing and he never copied any singer including Rafi.If he praised Rafi sahab in an interview,its just a token of appreciation from a legend to another legend.
On the death of Mukesh in 1976, Rafi sahab said"My ideal has left this world".But it doesnt mean that Rafi sahab became a mimic of Mukesh.
Likewise when singer Masood Rana met Rafi,Mohammad Rafi said"My favourate voice is Ahmed Rushdi's voice".Again it does not mean that Rafi sahab started following Ahmed Rushdi sahab.
When Rafi sahab died,Kishore Kumar gave him a tribute and sang his song.But Kishore never copied Rafi at any stage.
In an interview Hemant Kumar said"Rafi is my most favourate singer".Do you think he was an imitation of Rafi??Infact these legends were matchless and everyone had his own unique style of vocals.We got no right to grade them when they had never done it with each other.
