@Abdul Majeed,
Who gives a damn about the attention-seekers/ online beggars like you? You are utterly insignificant! …. “Lose my temper”? …. Do you even have that choice, Mr Non-Entity? I find it appalling to see the Rafians spamming for attention, but not having enough guts and motivation to start their own blogs and websites about Rafi. That will obviously require some intelligence and effort! And who will read your single-eyed opinions, once you do it, but apart from your own delusional self?

Just for the record, the comparison between KK and Rafi is purely academic – none possible in KK’s parlance, otherwise. The former is leaps and bounds better than the latter, as already told in the above blog post, and the article quoted therein. You don’t necessarily have to agree with it or keep hanging around.

Will now close this thread for any further comments, as decided by me earlier. This is how the Rafians wanted the final goodbye, perhaps …. so be it!

——————-

PS – I’d also make sure not to invite/ allow the Rafians to comment about the non-Rafi threads in future, because 1) most of you don’t have a knack for logical debates & 2) some of you simply don’t deserve being allowed in based on your behavior.

My Dear Music lovers,

I have no problem with KK. but when he is compared to the likes of MUKESH and Rafi, then i lose my temper. so kindly never ever compare him to the above musical giants. That’s it.

regards,

@Abdul Majeed,

Kindly stop spamming with the same messages time and again. At least come out with something new and original the next time you decided to stop by this thread. As regards to your question about KK being a legend or not, he is a ‘Maha’ legend for his fans, and talked in realms that none of his contemporaries could ever dream of with the boring fans of your ilk.

Kishore kumar no doubt was a talented artiste who could do many things apart from
singing. I used to be a big kishore kumar fan when i was much younger.

As i matured as a music lover and began to understand the finer points of singing
especially aspects like feel, expression and modulation I like many others who understand and appreciate true singing realized how talented rafi was. Mohd.Rafi was and will remain
the best ever Indian singer(male or female) when it comes to singing. No wonder greats
like yesudas and S.P.B have acknowledged that their ido is Rafi

Dear Music Lovers,

only one sample question? IS KISHORE KUMAR A LEGEND??? i do not want anyone to get annoyed by this question. because till yesterday whenever there was any discussion regarding indian music only tow names would be mentioned RAFI AND MUKESH. indeed these tow are deserved all kinds of praise and favor as they are the sole singers of golden era. i don’t like kishore kumar and mana dey at all. so never compare them to the above mentioned legends, they both are/were representing indian filmi music.

I too can not avoid temptation to compare KK and Rafi . Kishore said to gave his voice to two superstar Rajesh Khanna and Amitabh Bachchan . Success of Rajesh Khanna credited to KK . He sung superbly for him and phenomenal success of RK is due to KK. But when Amitabh Bacchan overthrown RK his success is due to his angry young man image and music of film play very little role in it. On the other hand we can not imagine the success of Shammi kapoor , RajendraKumar , Pradip kumar without the song by Rafi. He also gave his voice to Dilip kumar , Dev Anand ,
Dharmendra and other actor. Voice of Rafi can make Bharat Bhushan to hit film . Imagine can person like Bharat Bhushan ever be survive as actor without the support of song of Rafi. And by the way after 1980 indian film music continue to deteriorated and neither KK can gave any credible song after 1980. It all indicate that Rafi is really superior singer than KK although KK was versatile personality; actor, singer, music director etc.

After reading so many comments of persons (who all are not musicians), I also would like to share my knowledge on this topic. Rafi has sung approx 26000 songs in various languages while kishore has sung only 11000 songs. If anyone has correct figue, please update me.Rafi has chosen to sing songs with number of great composers like Naushad,S.D.Burman, Shankar Jaikishan,O.P.Naiyyar,Roshan,Ravi, Sonic Omi,R.D.Burman, Laxmikant pyarelal,Bappi lahiri,Kalyanjianandji, Jaidev, Madanmohan.Rafi was first choice to sing their songs even R.D.Burman who was responsible to push carrier of kishore (in Aaradhna) had started his carrier with Rafi (Teesri manzil). These well known musicians could not find any error is Rafi voice. While on the other hand kishor has selected by few musicians specially R.D.Burman,Laxmikant pyarelal,Bappi lahiri,Kalyanjianandji etc. If we categorize the singing verstality, then
Rafi has sung uncountable romantic songs (Mere mehboob tujhe,abhi na jaao cchodkar, cchoo lene do, teri pyaari..& many more), classical songs (O Duniya ke rakhwale, Madhuban mein raadhika, nache man mora, Bichchde sabhi, Ye mehlo ye takhto.., chali aa, Zindabaad, ajhu naa aaye baalma, ) Bhajans (Sukh ke sab saathi, Man tarpat hari, Sabse bada tera naam o shero waali,) Qawwali (Parda hai, ye ishq ishq, Hai agar dushman, pal do pal ka, ye maana meri jaan, shirdi wale sai baba), Naat (Shahe madina..) Sikh’s Sabad (Mitri piya renu), Patriotic songs (Kar chale hum fida, Apni aazadi ko hum, Watan pe jo fida hoga, Ai watan Ai watan), Bidai geet (Babul ki duwaein, Ghar se dola chala) & so many other category of songs .I invite persons, who say kishore is the best in singing, to please share their details in these category. Rafi has sung for Dileep Kumar/Rajendra Kumar/Dharmendra/Pradeep kumar/Bharat bhushan/Dev Anand/Rajesh khanna & many more actors in a different singing catogory. His voice texture is different on gurudutt, different with jhony wolker, different with shammi kapoor, different with rishi kapoor. I respect people who like kishore voice but records say different story. Just like if a person like cricketer Yuvraj singh for his attacking batting skills but that can not be overpassed with Sachin great records.I also fan of kishore kumar but am so much impressed with Rafi singing verstality. At last, I conclude that Jo kishore ne gaaya, wo sab rafi ne bhi gaaya, but jo rafi ne gaaya wo kishore ko gaane ka mauqa hi nahi mila. Waiting for somments

Dont think there is any song which can make you as lonely and sad as “Koi hota jisko apna”. and comic as “Meri pyaari bindu”. If there is third dimension of music (apart from sur and taal) – feelings/emotions, kishoreda was miles ahead of others. The magic of these god gifted capabilities create a greater impact/connect with people rather than any technical complexities (like sargam/alaps), earned through classical training.

Dear all,

Just MUKESH and Rafi are the main and original singers of bolywood. Kishore is worh respecting but not as mush as M. Rafi and Mukesh Ji. they were the main leading singers of Golden Era. Espacialy MUKESH JI. i have a great respect for him. his voice a magic as well as his singing style. have anyone of you ever listened to his first song (Dil Hi Bhuja Hua Ho Tu Fasle Bahar Kya)? what a souf ful song and none has rendered such masterpiece yet. all deserve to be respected as they were great beings. just leave the chain of comparing one over other. everyone of them has a unique place in the hearts of thier fans.

kishore was just very unique and miles ahead of rafi be it happines like zindagi ik safar, philospohy like zindagi ka safr, soothing like yeh jeevan hai, gazal like mere mehboob, the hummable like pyar diwana, kawwali lkie ‘salame ishk”, romantic like “pal pal”, the sad like “mera jeevan ” , the grief like “koi hota jisko apna”, the bhajan like “dekho o diwano”, he masti like “mai hu zumroo”, the nature praiser like hawaon pe likh do” , the classical like “mere naina”, extreme sadness like “chingari”, the unique “aane wala pal”, the teenage love like “il kya kare” , the dual mode like ” wo shyam kuch jeb thi”
