DISQUS

Mohammed Rafi still continues to entertain millions around the world. That makes Rafi and his voice and legacy immortal. He was above religious, race, cast, sect, political, national and even commercial differences. He politely refused to copy other singers in case they get offended. "Kehta hai koi dil gaya dil bar gaya. Sahil hai pukarta samandar chala gaya. Jo baat sach hai kehta nahin koi, keh es dunya se musiqi ka payambar chala gaya," according to one tribute to Rafi sahib by the great poet Gulzar. That sums up the late great singer Mohammed Rafi. So, is it fair to compare him with others, alive or dead? As a Rafi-family friend, and neighbour in London, for over 50 years, I am honoured to have met the most humble, honourable and modest man that I ever knew in my whole lifetime.
