Why more importance 2 RD Burman, Kishore? - Page 7

in the HKKN medley, Rafi sang the whole Chand Mera Dil part, which was the longest out of the 4 songs, and the only one which people sing alone in reality shows. KK sang "Aa dil kya" and like 2 lines in "Mil Gaya". So I would re-calculate that ratio as maybe 3:2. In the same movie, Rafi sang the title song, a bit at the end of "Yeh Ladka Haye Allah" and of course his award winning Kya Hua Tera Wada. KK sang Bachna Aye Haseeno and the least known song in the film, "hum ko to yaara teri yaari".

And you're saying KK outplayed Mukesh in the 70s? well duh, Mukesh died in 1976! so you can't even count him in because he didn't even live the full decade. But he also gave hits like Kabhi Kabhi, Kahin Door, Jis Gali Mein Tera Ghar etc. in the 70s. (now don't tell me those are forgettable too 🤢)

I'm not denying that RDB was the busiest in the 70s and that he used KK the most, but if he used anyone after KK, it was Rafi.

Not just the busiest.. i would say he was at the dizziest peak.. with KK.. which nobody could come close..thats one reason also for the erosion of what was the golden era..and many singers of the golden era with the exception of Asha and Lata.. because people following this combination.. couldnt really live up to the heights they carried the music to.. and what came in 80's was more run down music.. everybody including Jatin latit and Anu malik had to live up only by following the RDB style...

Well yes I agree that RDB was a trend setter and that's why he's given so much importance. I have nothing against that. I am a fan of both RDB and KK and I think they deserve all the hype they have, but I also think others deserve to share the same hype with them as well.

Rajesh Khanna is not the only superstar in the history of bollywood. We also have SRK and AB. Similarly in music KK and RDB were not the only "great ones", there were many others and some that even enjoyed a longer success period (ahem ahem..never mind..I won't go into this again). I think they deserve the same hype that these two get.

Actually he was the only true one.. the mania he created was more like that of beatles to rock music. SRK is popular.. not a "star" but since there is nobody else.. people put him in that spot.. AB had the class and grand presence again but not the mania associated with.. All said, all fame and success and hype is not the same which is what I am trying to say...

arre yaar where do you get these lines from. "SRK is not a star" 🤣 🤣 🤣 Ah that is like the joke of the day. 😆 😆

Sadly I think RDB+KK made every other singer fade away.. all those numbers are just a way to help visualize...

Sum of all what you wrote.. people talk about RDB+KK.. you can do as many gulatis as you want jaisakarm... u cant do anything to something thats a fact. u cant differenttiate bet' heights of glory which RDB+KK reached compared to any combination. if you know the difference bet' the superstar status of Rajesh Khanna and anybody else there is a chance u will know what I am saying..😊

believe me buddy...had it not been for SDB....RDB wouldn't have been jack shit.....if it wasn't for O.P. or SDB's contributions....RDB wouldn't have accomplished half of what he did....and if it wasn't for singers like Rafi and Manna Dey...KK wouldn't have accomplished half of what he did did...those guys built the industry....the 50's and 60's were the first years of Bollywood...sure it was created in 1913 or 14....but we had civil discord...and during the 30's and 40's we had wars and the freedom movement....so if you think that the contribution of SDB...O.P....Rafi....and other greats was nothing...your loosing your mind...and you talk abt the heights of glory that KK and RDB reached??....Everyone knows and respects Rafi and SDB....so your telling me they respect KK and RDB more??....ask anyone in the music industry who they respect more and the answer you will get is RAFI and SDB....those guys were pioneers...they were making hits before KK croones a song and RDB created a tune...they established the industry and got it rolling...remember starting a business and getting it to profit is hard...maintaining a successful business isn't....they created good music and songs...RDB and KK just followed in their footsteps....
