Rahat Fateh Ali Khan Appreciation Thread

I love RFAK! Hailing from the illustrious qawalli tradition that rose to fame thanks to his uncle, Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Rahat Saab has done a great job in adapting his style to filmi songs. I love his gaayaki and his personality. He is also one of the few musical 'heirs' who have lived up to the name of the famous elders in their respective musical families. Sure, NFAK was the ultimate, but RFAK has held his own too!

A few of my favourite performances by the Rahat Saab:
