I notice that there are many Kishore clones but they do not carry the same level of respect and appreciation. I think one's character and driving force is also important.
As to the versatile Rafi Sahab, there hardly is any so all rounded and versatile with such a lovely voice (I think).
yup rafi sang all types of songs:
qawwalis
bhajans
melodious ones
romantic
sad
high pitch
low pitch
comedy
happy
ghazals
extreme high + extreme low (listen to o duniya ke rakhwaale)
kumar sanu ,babul supriyo, abhijeet,harshit saxena are kishore clones....
how would they get the same level of admiration when they are nasal or weak copies??
kishore da had richness in his voice.. only babul's voice is rich enough..
