I can recall watching Kishoreda live (not on stage) but in a live televised programme in 1986 when visiting the UK and appeared on a programme ‘Nai zindagi naya jeevan’ – sang beautifully the hit Khilte hai gul yahaan’

Hiya Iqbal, I remember watching this when it was shown on TV. I still have it on video as my dad recorded it at the time. It also has Amit Kumar in the background playing a tambourine or something. Flex "To be in a minority of one does not necessarily render one insane"

I think they were just fooled by God's status being set at 'Be Right Back'.

Not only i became a rafian before his death, but i always watched him perform on the stage (15 feet from the stage:-). I was fortunate to see most of the legends in concert ( Rafi - once, Lata - twice, Kishore - once, Asha - once, Mehdi Hassan - twice and many others....) Rafi saab's concert was the best!

Sajjad-bhai: Would you please share with us your recollections of the shows? One at a time, please. If you stop trying to make sense of it all, you'll be less confused. Reality is an illusion.

Sajjad,
I too would join Unni in the request. Please try recollecting and putting down as much as possible, one at a time, into a somewhat thorough piece, in each singers section. Since, you're an ardent fan of Rafi sahab, I guess, why not give Rafi Sahab's concert the honour of being the first one to be related here. Thank you.

I was born after two years of his death. But his voice has casted a magical spell around me and I am lucky to be like this.
I think youngsters use internet more than the older fellows, thats why the poll is going their way. But an interesting poll. ============================== For me, listening to Mohammad Rafi is an addiction! |

I was 4 years old when Rafisaab passed away but I remeber my elder brother saying that I used to sing 'Maine poochha chand se'.But as far as i remember I was completely hooked on to his voice after watching Naseeb(John Jaani Janardhan and Chal mere bhai) in 1981 in the theatre.

It is so heartening to see the poll go "their" way!
It is but natural for someone older like me to be a fan. For, after all, we grew up with that voice. But to witness an entire generation of young listeners becoming fans after Rafi-sahab was no more with us.................that is so, so thrilling! IMHO, these "new" fans are more discriminative. They are not carried away by the aura of the star on whom the song was picturized or the popularity of the movie in which it was featured. In fact, when you see the actual song sequences in recorded format, mostly in black & white, you would be justified in your disdain for the film-making of those days. So, when you appreciate the song and the singer, you are really truly restricting your appreciation to the musical content and the quality of the rendering. As 'extenok' wrote in another context, good things never go out of style. If you stop trying to make sense of it all, you'll be less confused. Reality is an illusion.
