In high school, my best friend loved Mukesh for his pathos and I loved Rafi for his happy and upbeat songs. We used to have very heated debates about who sang better!quote:Originally posted by lynn:
see what i meant about some of Mukesh's songs being too sad????
....i used to love all of his songs as i was growing up as a kid and young woman...
later, as i began to understand the language (and see the movies)..i didnt like to listen to some of them...
this is a perfect example!!!
Over the years, I've learnt to appreciate both for their different styles. When I'm sad, I put on some Rafi numbers and when I'm in a reflective mood, it's Mukesh. Who wants to hear Mukesh when they're sad? I remember the rum shop guys crying like babies when the jukeboxes were playing Mukesh, especially those 'Dosti' ones.
