God, if he has a conscience, he should always be grateful to the humble but great Mohammed Rafi, who praised him, as no other singer or any pious or profane person can or has done. Every rock, stone, and mountain cannot be cruel enough to forget Mohammed Rafi because the way he sang about them gave them life and made them immortal! Every river, lake, and even sea cannot get lost in their own world and cannot forget the soothing voice of Mohammed Rafi which made him more beautiful and mysterious than the time God created! Every flower, every tree, the earth and sky below, the stars, and even the moon above can never forget the voice of Mohammed Rafi, who immortalized him more than his soothing voice!

 

And above all, one cannot forget to be grateful to the man who gave every human emotion and felt a new life which he still enjoys only after Mohammed Rafi sang about those feelings Understood the real meaning of your feelings and made them one! A treasure for humanity! It is indeed extremely difficult for anyone who has had the privilege of listening to Mohammed Rafi's voice to write him as the past, the present, and the future of time (Waqt) as the past must also be at the same time. Be grateful to a saint who turned into a singer by chance so that he may be more useful as a prophet or a saint than to be a singer who may be wrong, but Mohammed Rafi never did. Because Mohammed Rafi is born only once and lives a thousand lives!Late, but God knew Mohammed Rafi had become a sweet challenge for him - Ali Peter JohnMohammed Rafi could have been born anywhere, but he was born in a village where he was to hear the hoarse voice of a fakir singing from near his house in a voice that the little boy could not live in. Mohammed Rafi followed the fakir and followed every word and the way he sang, regardless of what the world said or felt about him. The little boy, Rafi, after disappearing from the sight of the fakir came back to his village and sang exactly how the unknown fakir sang and the elders and the whole village discovered some unusual talent in the boy. It was a friend of his, Hameed who took him to a concert where KL Saigal was to sing. There was some technical and electrical fault and Sehgal had to go back to his hotel, It was young Rafi's friend Hameed who suggested to the organizers that they have little Rafi sing until things settle down. And in such a short span of time, Rafi was able to make people realize his God-given talent and versatility. Notable in that audience was the musician, Shyam Sunder, who was so charmed that he asked Hameed to bring the child prodigy to Bombay. It was the beginning of a struggle that was only to end with infinite success which ultimately led to eternal success. It took Mohammed Rafi little time to attract success, only that much was set to follow him as if he knew that this time success was not going to be any ordinary success. who was so charmed that he asked Hameed to bring the child prodigy to Bombay?

And had to move on from that. Very soon, Mohammed Rafi was the voice of every major star and among the endless names he sang for were failed Kapoors like Prithviraj Kapoor and his sons, Shammi, Shashi and his grandsons, Randhir, Rishi, and even Rajiv Kapoor, surprisingly No song was sung for Raj Kapoor, with Mukesh singing as his voice till the end, except for a few moments when Manna Dey sang for him. And then there was no hero who could think of pursuing his career without the voice of Rafi and the long list is almost endless, Dev Anand, Dilip Kumar, Rajendra Kumar, Dharmendra, Sanjeev Kumar, Manoj Kumar, Jeetendra, Amitabh Bachchan, Vishwajeet, all the senior Khans, Sanjay Khan, Feroze Khan, Akbar Khan and even Sameer Khan who left films after doing just two flops. New stars he sang for include Vinod Mehra, Naveen Nischol, Anil Dhawan, Anil Kapoor, and Sunny Deol and I am sorry if I have missed some names but when writing about a legend beyond legends like Mohammed Rafi only occurs. However, the interesting thing about Rafi was that he could sing for comedians like Johnnie Walker and Mehmood and even for fake, beggars and background voice-over characters before the start of a film. could sing, which tells the story of the film in one song. , But the most surprising thing was that as an actor he was also the voice of Kishore Kumar and neither he nor Kishore had any ego problem. Firoz Khan, Akbar Khan and even Sameer Khan left films after doing just two flops.

Ali Peter JohnAnd it is very difficult to write down the names of all the musicians she sang with! From Shyam Sundar to Anu Malik and Shankar-Jaikishan and Laxmikant-Pyarelal and Kalyanji-Anandji to Jatin Lalit and Naushad and Khayyam and Iqbal Qureshi to SD Burman and RD Burman, he sang for them all. The best thing about Mohammed Rafi was how he sang according to the emotion and situation in a song. And more than that, it was his specialty to mold his voice according to the star he was singing for. If there was one star for whom he worked his entire life, it was Shammi Kapoor who said that he would never have been a star without Mohammed Rafi's voice. Shammi would sit and sing all the recordings of Mohammed Rafi's songs for him, which was beneficial for both of them. When Shammi went to Vrindavan for his annual darshan of Baba, Then only Shammi could not make it to the recording. But when he heard the song Rafi sang for him for the movie “An Evening in Paris”, he could not believe how Rafi could imagine how he would perform on the song Rafi sang for him. Dharmendra always used to say that he believed Rafi was a great actor and one man could be so many actors.Late, but God knew Mohammed Rafi had become a sweet challenge for him - Ali Peter JohnMohammed Rafi would have been India's richest singer if he had cared about money like his contemporary Kishore Kumar and used to charge twenty thousand rupees for a song when Rafi was charging only four thousand rupees! One of the last songs she sang was a duet between her and Kishore Kumar for Jeetendra's most ambitious film, "Deedar-e-Yaar". Jitendra asked his production manager to pay twenty thousand rupees each. Kishore kept the money. Rafi asked his brother-in-law who was also the manager of Jitendra to return the additional sixteen thousand rupees given to him. He was a very philanthropist who gave away most of his money to charity and didn't even tell his family. Rafi may have sung thousands of songs, but the number of songs he sang were for the Laxmikant-Pyarelal duo (169 films). strange way,Late, but God knew Mohammed Rafi had become a sweet challenge for him - Ali Peter JohnHe could not believe that he had met Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, who had called him to thank him for singing "Suno suno e duniya walo bapu ki yeh amar kahani", which was sung a few days after the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi by Nathuram Godse. The latter was written by Rajendra Krishna. A year later Nehru presented him with a medal which he cherished till the end of his life. He got Padma Shri very late in his life. He wanted some publicity for it, but no major newspaper was willing to publish a picture of the medal he had received and he was very upset. Shammi Kapoor was in Vrindavan on the morning of 31 July with his wife Neela Devi. They were traveling in an autorickshaw to reach Shammi's baba's temple. The young man cycled along with Shammi Kapoor to catch the auto. Eventually he caught hold of the auto and shouted, “Shammi Sahab, your voice has gone. Shammi could not understand that, What is the boy saying and the boy kept on shouting till he told Shammi that it was Mohammed Rafi who was his voice. He died of a heart attack that morning of all his films. Shammi Kapoor kept crying the whole day..Late, but God knew Mohammed Rafi had become a sweet challenge for him - Ali Peter JohnAnd in Bombay the sky was crying, the air and atmosphere were crying, big and small, stars and junior artistes and technicians were all crying as lakhs of people left their homes in Rafi Haveli in very heavy rain. The large cemetery in South Bombay where the grave was dug for him was reluctant to accept him and was singing, “Jaane wale kithar ja rahe ho, hum aapke bina kithar jaenge” and I could hear Mohammed Rafi singing back, “ I will not go anywhere leaving you”, just peep into your hearts, I am the same, I am the same and I will make your hearts my home. Mohammed Rafi was the only person I asked for an autograph in my first year in college and he didn't even know the importance of an autograph and he also sensed my confidence. And then asked me, “Kid, what will you do with this?”. How I wish I'd kept that autograph,Late, but God knew Mohammed Rafi had become a sweet challenge for him - Ali Peter John
