RD Burman on mohammed rafi:

"But I'd rehearsed Rafi so often for Dada that I could go along with him so far, no further. It was so tough to get Rafi to amend something you'd already taught him!

"Take my breakthrough Asha-Rafi Teesri Manzil duet – Aa jaa aa jaa.

"Rafi wasn't able to grasp the nuances of Aa jaa aa jaa at all! How Rafi struggled as Asha so exemplarily stretched the crucial Aaha-ha aa jaa aaha-ha aa jaa notes. Give me Kishore any time – he would've latched on to it in a trice.

"Only I know how I got Rafi to do Tum ne mujhe dekhaa!

"With OP, remember, Rafi was on his home Punjabi ground. I don't agree I was more patient with Kishore, not so patient with Rafi. No matter how patient I was with Rafi, he slipped into the same vocal error - time and again."

oh wow...I never knew that's the attitude RDB had towards Rafi saab. Anyways my favourite songs of RDB are mostly sung by Rafi saab like kya hua tera wada, tumne mujhe dekha, maine poocha chand se, chand mera dil, deewana mujhsa nahin etc. etc.

Sandip I just wrote mere fact-truth....Where do u see bashing 😕 I did not call anyone name...

There are plenty who do discuss Himesh and bash him too...Makes no difference to me...Some goes to the length of discussing his personal life too....And why are you bringing Himesh into this???? Topic is about RD and Rafisaab...lets keep subject on the track...Instead of mixing the issues...

Thank you..

Even golden era had its politics!
