Mohd Rafi - The Millennium Singer
24 December 1924 – 31 July 1980
Mohammed Rafi was an Indian playback singer and one of the most popular singers of the Hindi film industry. Rafi was notable for his versatility; his songs ranged from classical numbers to patriotic songs, sad lamentations to highly romantic numbers, qawwalis to ghazals and bhajans. He was known for his ability to mould his voice to the persona of the actor, lip-synching the song on screen in the movie. Between 1950 and 1970, Rafi was the most sought after singer in the Hindi film industry. He received six Filmfare Awards and one National Film Award. In 1967, he was honoured with the Padma Shri award by the Government of India.
जिसकी आवाज़ दिलों जाँ में उतर जाती है।
जिसका अन्दाज़ कोई और नहीं पा सकता।।
यूँ तो फनकार बहुत आयेंगे इस दुनिया में।
एक रफी जैसा कोई और नहीं आ सकता।।
’मौ0 जलीस सिद्दीकी‘

Mohd Rafi Is The Best
Jiska Andaaz Koi Aur Nahin Paa Sakta''
Yun To Fankar Bahut Aayenge Is Duniya Mein'
Ek Rafi Jaisa Koi Aur Nahin Aa Sakta''
