Thanks, Goofy, I love both O door ke musafir and Koi Saagar. I think Rafi's early works had more of a Saigal influence, by the time 'Baiju Bawra' came about he had developed his own distinctive style.

But you're right about Naushad and Rafi - they were an unbeatable combination.

I listen to a radio show called 'Swaranjali' on Radiodil where the host, Sanjeev Ramabhadran, showcases a different raag each time and then plays examples of that raag in Hindi film songs. This week was raag Tilang and one of the songs he played was this one from Shabab. What a song and how brilliantly Rafi sings it! Soul-searing! 😭

And I love both the Parineeta songs you posted, Madhu! Geeta Dutt at her sublime best and beautiful music by Mannadey and Arun Mukherjee! ❤️

Sahir's ghazal & Rafi's voice, sone pe suhaga❤️ During rehearsal, Rafi requested Ravi that he be allowed to sing the word 'Achchha' in different ways. Ravi agreed and the result was mind-blowing.

jis tarah se thodi si tere saath kati hain

baaki bhi usi tarah gujar jaaye to achchha

duniya ke nigaaho me bhala kya hain, bura kya

ye bojh agar dil se utar jaaye to achchha

yes! They collaborated so many times... n result was always the same.. breathtaking creation

S.D.B was a Navketan staple and Rafi was Dev's voice all through the 50s and 60s except for a few occasions until Dev decided in the late 60s that Kishore Kumar sounded more youthful and switched allegiance to him 😒. Not that I don't like Kishore Kumar's Dev Anand songs, but Rafi - uff!

He suited Dev to a T! But I could say that about all the heroes (and non-heroes) he sang for!

Oh wow! Kri! This song is a classic example of how Rafi sounds sooo much like Johnny Walker that you think it's the actor himself singing!

Thanks for posting this!

Sahir's lyrics though!

Naukar ho ya Maalik

Leader ho ya public

Apne aage sabhi jhuke hain 😉

Kya raja kya sainik! 😆
