‘Rafi Ke Dard Bhare Geet’ is a famous genre of Rafi songs. Some of the most endearing and touching songs in Hindi films are the sad songs sung by Rafi Sb. Almost every hindi movie has a sad song. Amongst them, the soulful singing by Rafi Sb in these songs is widely acknowledgde as the best. There are many movies where Rafi Sb has only one song even when he is not the favored singing voice for the film. That song generally is a song for the second line artist, or a background song, or a title song, and in many cases, it is a sad song. Then there are many movies in which all male songs are in the voice of Rafi Sb. There are movies where he sang romantic song, light hearted song, sad song, comic song, qawwali, folk and spiritual songs for different actors. There are numerous examples for both these cases.

Mohammed Rafi : The incomparable – Song No. 03
————————————————-
Here is an example of a typical filmy song. It has the correct amount of teasing, mischief and romance with confidence. And nobody, no singer atleast did this with the right balance as Rafi Sahab.

In this blog, I have compared this musical journey to a road journey as well as a train journey. Cricket world cup is going on these days so I can find some resemblence between cricket and this blog as well. 🙂
In limited overs cricket, the team chasing a total needs to maintain its asking rate and should not allow the asking rate to climb too high as that puts too much of pressure in the last few overs. Like cricket teams, we too “bat” at certain asking rate. Six songs a day was the asking rate that we easily used to maintain in the past. We were in great form during 2011 when we in fact maintained the asking rate of 7 to 8 songs a day for several months. 🙂

We all know that Mohammed Rafi Sb is the one playback who had many singers copying and imitating his singing style during his lifetime. After his passing away, the tendency only increased. There are a few shining examples like Sonu Nigam who started with Rafi Sb’s style and made a name for themselves. He is, in my view, closely followed by Udit Narayan and Mohammed Aziz. During the 1970s, when Rafi Sb was alive, there was Anwar who reportedly trained under him, and Rafi Sb himself regarded him highly. All these singers strived to imitate the inimitable Rafi magic.

Entertaining Sales Pitch Songs – 3
—————————————————–
Aha,
lailaa ki ungliyaan hain
majnoo ki pasliyaan hain
do do paise mein le lo babu
naram taazi kakdiyaan hain
I remember this jingle from childhood. Occasionally used to hear it from the roadside hawkers, and once I even heard it in a radio play on Vividh Bharti. Then many years later, I encountered this song also. I used to wonder, whether the song came first or this jingle came first – which is based on which. As I prepare this post, just casually I googled it, and found references to Lucknow and Agra where fresh vegetable vendors are known to use this jingle. So maybe this is more of a folk tradition, converted into a film song later on. Just like “Jumkha Gira Re Bareilly Ke Bazaar Mein“. 😉
