    A bit of a cheat for my final #MohammadRafi tribute post tonight. I simply ADORE old school #Hindi #film #qawwali and this one is the ne plus ultra - all 12 minutes of it.
    It is the single piece of music I have listened to the most after Beethoven's 9th, and so my favourite example of my favourite filmi #Music genre wraps this salute to Rafi up on the strength of his being one of the two lead male vocals.

    Another major #MohammadRafi mood swing with this one. Back to the marvellous Johnny Walker, this time in the 1955 #Hindi #film Mr & Mrs 55 (a film I ended up LOATHING, except for this song)

    For something COMPLETELY different, back to the 1957 #Hindi #Film #Pyaasa - the ANGRIEST song I've heard #MohammadRafi sing - doing full justice to the sublime Sahir Ludhianvi's polemic against hypocritical misogynist moralising in a song that was banned from radio play for decades in India.

    My karma for REALLY not liking Dev Anand is having him feature in so many outstanding #MohammadRafi songs, including this one, an all time favourite from the very sweet 1963 #Hindi #Film #TereGharKeSaamne

    I'm not a fan of Dev Anand, but he had #MohammadRafi sing some great songs, including this one from the 1960 #Hindi #film #KalaBazaar which also featured my longtime favourite, Waheeda Rehman

    This #MohammadRafi song from the 1964 #Hindi #film #KashmirKiKali always makes me of Rafi himself - the title/refrain could be rendered
    "How do I praise the one who made you?"

    A #MohammadRafi song from the 1963 #film #UstadonKeUstad with lyrics that fans of many #CDrama and #KDrama could relate to - the repeated refrain/chorus translates something like
    "We may be born 100 times and destroyed 100 times, but my faithful beloved, we will never be separated."

  8. 3. From #Brahmachari the happy version of a song #MohammadRafi also sings a sad version of in the same #film with exactly the same lyrics, and makes it sound like a different song.

  9. 2. From the same film, a VERY different song, one I fell in love with before I ever saw the film.

  11. On #MohammadRafi's birth anniversary his immortal "man tarpat hai hari darshan ko aaj.." sung by Rafi, written by ShakeelBadayuni and composed by Naushad. Would they all have been asked to prove their nationality under #CAA_NRC?
