It is generally believed that the playback singing career of Mohammed Rafi really took off on a sustainable basis after his songs in ‘Baiju Bawra’ (1952) became very popular. I had been carrying an impression that the year 1949 was a watershed in Rafi’s playback singing career. Probably I got this impression due to a number of his film songs I came across on YT released in 1949. To check my ‘hypothesis’, I have attempted an exercise on Rafi’s Hindi film songs during 1944-50. The starting year 1944 was taken as Mohammed Rafi got his first song as a playback singer in 1944. The end year was selected as 1950 just to know as to what was Rafi’s performance as a playback singer after 1949 which is the year I believe to be an important year in shaping his career graph.

The other day we discussed the fact that we had 400 songs of Madan Mohan in the blog and now only about 200 odd more songs composed by him are left to be discussed. At that time I could not help but remember that over 400 S D Burman songs were also discussed in the blog and in his case even lesser number of songs were left to be discussed. We in fact have 485 S D Burman compositions in the blog ! The total number of S D Burman compositions in Hindi movies is of the order of 650, and so only about 170 odd songs composed by the maestro remain to be covered in the blog.

This would help me as the readers to get the desired information at a click. Very enthusiastically and patting myself for this original idea, I started the work and then I realised that this was a mammoth project requiring lot of time and patience !

With some apprehensions and some anxiety, I put forward my first effort at writing an article on this blog. As has been mentioned by Sudhir ji in the previous post, I have been active in the comments space since September 2012. However, the delay in the first post coming up here, has not been from my side. 😉 This first post I had written almost a year ago, and sent to Atul ji in June last year. For some reasons, maybe it got lost in the pile of emails he receives, which he assures me, is the case.

She was born as Tejeshwari, a name given to her by her father. She was also called Fatima, a name given to her by her mother. The story of her parents and her birth, is like a fairy tale of destiny. As they say, when love has to happen, it will. And at the place where it is destined to happen, the players and participants all reach that place, by design.

THE VIBRANT 40s (Episode No. 15)LAST SONG OF THIS SERIES
——————————————————-
All human being like to be always happy. No one wants to be sad, no one wants pain, penury misery and anonymity. There are scores of cases from the film Industry which bring tears after reading about their last days and their sad ends. Not that every artist died in this way. There were hundreds of film personalities who spent their last days in comfort and with their dear ones. No one will remember that, but stories of Riches to Rags and death of an artist in total anonymity saddens the heart.
