Wow… these r true Gems!

chk  it out Prezzo

Listening to these songs..oh my..takes me back to childhood days when I  used to rock in the hammock in d bottom house n listen to songs playing on our lil sony transistor radio.(.local stations as well as Stn  Radhika from Tdad  n Radio Rani from Suriname)

these r GEMS!! There can never be another singer to match Rafi. Mukesh, Kishore Kumar, Lata n Asha.

Rafi recorded more than 25,000 songs in a career spanning almost 40 years.

Indian Idol did a tribute to Rafi recently n 1 of Rafi’s sons was a guest….

Yeh jo chilman hai

I've been reading some books about Rajesh Khanna, really touching. As a child, his parents gave him to his childless uncle & wife who raised him, and he could never mix with his original family. He looked like a prince, masked his lifelong sadness with his wonderful acting career, was India's first superstar, and girls went nuts for him. He was like what Elvis, the Beatles, and the Rolling Stones were in the West. He had some failed relationships, and drowned his sorrows with alcohol, which led to his early death. His funeral was probably the largest ever in India.

You have other talented singers like Mahendra Kapoor and Talat Mahmood is in that category.

I love Mahendra K songs..my most fave r “Namo chhupa ke jiyo n ‘tum agar saath dene ka’

n of course Talat Mahmood is a legend n Manna Dey as well

btw Suman Kalyanpur was a good singer too..it was very hard back then to differentiate between her n Lata (of course I can tell now)

well ifu want to go further back..let me mention  NOOR JAHAN n SHAMSHAD BEGUM

i had audio  cassette with all the songs from ANMOL GHADI …

Never  heard abt RK childhood !!

he has been  the most fave starbai for me..to this day! I have other faves but itis mostly because of the romance n family drama movies he acted in..

i didnt like the angry revengeful AB kinda of movies, so. I guess that is why I was  crazy abt AB even though he is a good actor..

yeah man..sad story of RK..Anju Mahendru was his lady love..

superstar for sure..nowim hearing the hosts of rality shows calling every tom dick n harry superstar!!

RK had back to back hits 16 superhits in 3 yrs

As a child n young lady even to my young adult age, Mukesh n Asha B were my fave singers

my sis loved Lata n Rafi..she used to say Rafi sounded like he was laughing as he sang!!

(there was a local singer. Back then..young guy named Rocky Persaud, he sang Rafi’s songs well!! My sis liked his singing)

anyway leaving GY, i lived in St Maarten for a little over a yr n met a Gy lady who was married to a Sindhi guy n she embraced the Indian culture 100% ..she even conversed in Hindi.  We became friends n she had hundreds of cassettes with old songs.  So i borrowed them n copied the ones i liked n it was then i started to appreciate n enjoy Rafi n Lata’s songs as well as some of KK’s

@Lynn, Perhaps you liked this one.

I love it.. saw the movie years ago
