PLAYBACK SINGERS Options

[Pradeep]

Kavita Krishnamurthy I guess is the highest paid playback vocalist. Don't know about male vocalist. May be Sonu these days.

[iqbal]

How do you think it works with the playback singers, do they have some sort of singer’s association.

Do they up they fee according to how busy they get ?


And could it be one reason the offers starts slowing down with singers raising their fees extortionately or their ego takes over.

Jhoom jaaoon ghoom jaaoon
Kidhar bhi mur jaaoon
Par main nahin girne ka arey kabhi nahin girney ka

I recently watched the serial ‘Gul aur sanobar ‘and he was singing the title song.

Ye gul aur sanobar ki hai daastaan……


Very much in Rafisaab’s style.

Don’t know if this is an old serial or a current one




Sorry Azgarbhai, I don’t have the songs mentioned.

What happened to Anwar,he was very close to Rafi sab,even comparatively better than Sonu. He surfaced when Rafi saab was alive.. He failed probably due to his superlative ego. Just listen to these songs.HOW CLOSE HE WAS TO RAFI.
-----Kasmein hum apnijaan ki khaye chale gaye.
. Phir bhi woh aetbaar nalaaye chale gaye.....Mere garib nawaaz..1973.
In thos days everyone used to think it was sung by rafi until it was clarified.
......Teri aankhon ki chahat mein to may sab kuch bhula doo ga.... to which kaka commented that rafi saab has sung this song for me DIL SE.
......Mohabbat ab tijarat ban gayi hai."

Is there a website dedicated to only playback singers. having news and updates on how they are doing and songs they have currently recorded.

It would also be nice to read on how former playback singers are doing who are not being given a chance in the film world and if they are recording private albums etc.


Thanks
Iqbal

And what happened to Anwar (don’t know his second name), I thought he would have achieved so much fame as IMO he came close to Rafisaab.


Listen to these songs of Anwar………


Haseen Haseen Vadiyon Unse ye Kaho

Aaja mere yaar kare hum dono aankhen chaar

Kahan Jaate ho ruk jaao tumhein meri kasam

hiya yaar,

i spoke to anwar very recently, his working on an private album.

but if the truth be told- his careers long finished.

sadly drink destroyed anwars career.

[shabbirkumar786]

Drinks has taken over the passion and love of singing.

hiya pradeep,

ur absolutely right sadly drink & bad personl advisors / mangment ...

has destroyed anwar.

[shabbirkumar786]

Shabbir Kumar and Mohd.Aziz have been replaced by Sonu Nigam. They don?t seem to be getting any film offers, the last one for Shabbir I think was ?Dil Dhoondta Hai? and Mohd Aziz in Amithabh?s ?Rishtaa?


Both Shabbir and Mohd tours round the world with shows titled ?Tribute to Rafi?

The less said the better of those 2 :|

I can never put those two in any slot of singers

N ((((((((((((((((((((((((

hiya nimmi,

sorry although i respect ur views i dnt agree with them.

if u dnt think much of shabbir kumar & mohd. aziz

what do u think of some of the so called playback singers of today?

atleast they cud pronounce the words properly.

they had a sense of poetry which is now almost lost.

yes-

both shabbir & aziz were rafi clones.

but wasnt rafi a iqbal durrani clone too?

isnt sonu nigam also a rafi clone?

yes i agree.... shabbir kumar & mohd. aziz are no mohd. rafi or kishore kumar but...

sorry nimmi- i just think ur being way too harsh on them!

still interesting to read ur point of view though.

take care.

Ayyo kaun ?????????

This is but true for Amit Kumar :EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

N :EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

hiya pradeep,

ur quite right amit kumar is a true genius full of unlimited talents.

the only reason his not singing & ruling the industry.

is because he refuses to beg the elite or join parties.

otherwise he has everything & much more to dominate easily.

amit kumar used to sing the songs of today 20 years ago.

his amazing.

I like Mohd Aziz's

Ek Andhera Laakh Sitaare, Ek Niraasha Laakh Sahaare, Sabse Badi Sougath Hai Jeevan, Nadaan Hai Jo Jeevan Se Haare picturized on kakaji.

hiya,

beautiful soft number-

great choice.

Aziz told me- its one of his favourites too.

[shabbirkumar786]

Anwar Hussain.

Thud he too

Thats sad

Wasnt that song from Janata Hawaldar sung by him?

I am till day cant figure out the difference between these 3 voices - MA, SK and AH

N

hiya,

the similarities were the same.

they were all rafi rip offs but...

the difference is shabbir kumar had a poular filmi voice at the right time.

mohd.aziz took over simply because he had the most powerful vocals of the three &

anwar sounded the closest to the great rafi sahaab but sadly cudnt stop drinking.

BASH.

[shabbirkumar786]

Who is the highest paid singers in

I would guess

Male

Udit
Sanu
Sonu


Female

Lata
Alka
Anurad

hiya,

yes udit narayan, sonu nigam & alka yagnik.

but sanu is no where close.

when was the last time kumar sanu sang in a big banner hit film?
