Mohammed Rafi Rules

A few years ago my friend David the Psychonaut gave me an mp3 file with the greatest song, "Jan Pehechan-Ho" by Mohammed Rafi. And now another friend, Tanya the Cosmopolite, links to the song's over-the top Bollywood dance number, straight from the 1965 film Gumnaam. Awesome! (As per standard Bollywood procedure, Rafi himself isn't in the film.)

I saw this first in ghost world too. It appears only in part in the movie but you can watch the whole clip as an extra in the dvd.

So strange! A meld of sixties surf guitar with thirties musical movie Astair/Rogers dance and production style. All that with a bit of Latin beat thrown in... quite a melange!

Rafi is Rafi, Kishore is Kishore.

Why do the Kishore fans have to degrade Rafi; it is beyond my understanding.

How is the greatness of one proved by degrading the other?

Yes Ramesh - That is why Rafi got voted the Artist of the Millenium and Kishore did not. Grow Up!

Kishore kumar is nowhere near Mohammed Rafi saahab... kishore kumar is a devotee of rafi himself
