In Search Of Rafi Songs From 1977 To Onwards Options

[Unregistered_050208]

Song: Sad version of "Salamat Rahe Dostana Hamara" - not completely picturized in the film version I saw.
Film: Dostana
Year: 1981
Singers: Rafi & Kishore
Bit Rate: 16 kps - despite bit rate - quality is very good because it is very clean. Very little noise, distortion, etc.

Here is:

'Aa Lag Ja Gale Mere...........' from Agar, 1977, Sonik Omi, 3:36, 160kbps

Yusuf bhai,

Thanks for the above track.

The amount of great songs and hits Rafi saab had during this time (1977 onwards) is just unbelievable. Leave aside the rest of his career, just this one phase is enough proof of his greatness.

The 50's and the 60's he absolutely left all the competition behind, everyone from Lata, Asha to Mukesh, Manna and Kishore etc. acknowledged that he was far ahead of the rest. Has there been any singer who sang for virtually everyone, and had such a wide range, unique melodious and sweet voice combined with being so versatile ?.

<Post edited as contained objectionable statement>
The Grand Marshall (along with his son), and he was on the receiving end of lots of nonsense from the media, it didn't bother him, he came back so strongly and proved he was the best.

How did he come back ? (and before controversy starts again, I mean comeback onto the charts as before, even though he was giving hits previously as always).

1977 onwards sees him return the top and from 1979-1982 it is a Rafi show all the way. Anyone who followed the Binaca Geet Mala trends knows for sure the impact Rafi made in those three years with his songs everywhere and other singer's songs hardly around. No male singer has been able to rule the way he did (and for that long), past or present.

<Post edited as contained objectionable statement>

I don't know how anyone or why anyone is compared to Rafi, its such a waste of time. Then again he is the benchmark, so its bound to happen.

NICE ATTEMPT.

[bawlachintu]

Unlike the sisters who played politics, he never indulged in them, and when another talent became popular thanks to the backing of one of my absolute favourite MD's, The Grand Marshall (along with his son), and he was on the receiving end of lots of nonsense from the media, it didn't bother him, he came back so strongly and proved he was the best.

Is this irrelevant reference necessary Mr Prince. Which sisters you are talking
about here??

Not even Lata Mangeshkar made such an impact as Rafi did. She may have been the Diva of female playback singing, but Rafi was ahead of her.

Interesting. How did you arrive at such bogus conclusion?
Lata fans make a note of this please.

not because Rafi was easier to get along with than Lata, but because of the fact that without Rafi, their songs wouldn't have been that great, and they wouldn't be able to present their compositions because no one could sing them besides 'Saatwan Sur'.

Who declared it as fact ? Any supportings you have?
It seems that you have not heard any of Lata-Kishore, Lata-Manna,
Lata-Hemant, Lata-Mukesh duets.

PS: What about other combinations: Rafi-Geeta, Rafi-Asha, Rafi-Suman, Rafi-Shamshad

Your above post contradicts what you have written at other place:

about here??

I don't think I have to mention their names Chintu-ji. It is well known in the media and reported by many well-known film journalists of the past and industry insiders. Why did I bring t up ?. To show that Rafi didn't need politics to keep his position, it was natural. This is an opinion.

Interesting. How did you arrive at such bogus conclusion?
Lata fans make a note of this please.

How is it bogus ?. This is just an opinion based on what I have read (from credible sources), as well as from various industry insiders that I have come across in the past, and my observations. You don't have to agree with me if you don't want to, we all have different opinions. Mind you, I am also a Lata fan as well. Ofcourse she made a huge impact, she was the best on the female side, but Rafi is a different story, he was a phenomenon.

Who declared it as fact ? Any supportings you have?[/b]

My supportings are interviews in the past from several MD's that without Rafi they wouldn't be able to compose those songs. This is from Vividh Bharti interviews, DD telecasts, interviews etc.

It seems that you have not heard any of Lata-Kishore, Lata-Manna,
Lata-Hemant, Lata-Mukesh duets.

PS: What about other combinations: Rafi-Geeta, Rafi-Asha, Rafi-Suman, Rafi-Shamshad

I don't think you read my statement cleary. I mentioned during the rift, most composers sided with Rafi which is a fact. I can provide stats but that will take extensive research and time which I am willing to do but not now with my midterms. Look back into history and see how many composers sided with Lata for 'duets' during the years 64-66. This does not have anything to do with other Rafi combinations, and yes I have heard a lot of other singer combinations Thanks

Your above post contradicts what you have written at other place:

http://www.hamaraforums.com/index.php?s=&a...st&p=429703

How does it cotradict that statement ?. I mentioned over there that everyone has a right to an opinion, and here I was stating an opinion. I have not degraded any artist, by mentioning politics, it does not degrade the two sisters, it just mentions what everyone else has been mentioning for a long time now.

Admin,

How has my post in any way been demeaning ?. I have just stated what is written out there on the Net. Are you telling me that we cannot express opinions ?. Then what is this forum for ?. If you look at my track record, I have never written demeaning or objectional posts, and I never intend to. I am a senior member of this forum (by that I mean I've been here from the time the forum started) and if a member has complained, then I think they don't know the difference between demeaning posts, actual posts that degrade an artist and ones that express an opinion. It's a pity that the situation has come to this, warning members who express opinions, and not taking action against members who write filth. I guess gone are those days where justice is served.

If I express an opinion mentioning Rafi had the backing of everyone of the "Big MD" camp, and Lata did not, it is an opinion based on lots of proof. If someone writes the same about Lata vis a vis Rafi, it is again an opinion and in no way demeaning to Rafi. Are you going to warn a member if they write that about Rafi on the Lata forum, when it is in no way demeaning or objectionable ?. If it is their opinion, let it be, when it comes down to it, tell them to show proof.

There are far more hedious posts that are written in HF, to edit mine is hilarious because it doesn't contain anything demeaning or objectionable. How is anybody to discuss anything if we can't express our opinions ?.

Its alright though, if a member complains, it is your job to take action, I understand, so its best if we leave it at that. Certain members don't know the difference between what is demeaning and what isn't, they let their emotions get in the way.

I simply stated the obvious which was not demeaning nor objectionabe at all. It's sad it is seen that way. Some of my friends on this forum have in the past been warned for expressing their opinion in a totally undemeaning way, I don't understand why, but I know its because some members can't bear to see the reality of things.

Cheers

[princeali]

I think I shouldn't have continued writing about Rafi and given examples of his top position vis a vis others (again as examples). I should have stopped at writing about his 1977-80 period (includng 1979-82). I didn't know the reaction that would occur. I think this should only remain a song sharing thread started by Razia. We have already had many controversies in recent times, no need for another one .
