Although Mohammad Rafi could sing any type of song, my choice of his best songs are classical based; and though he has sung more hit classical based songs for a few composers like Naushad, Shankar-Jaikishan, S.D. Burman. Naushad used to compose very tough classical based songs which none other than Rafi could sing. If one listens to “O Duniya ke Rakhwale” of Baiju Bawra and “Zindabad, Zindabad aye Mohabbat” of Mughal-e-Azam, one can notice the high pitch where even Rafi’s tone seems to almost breakdown. Can anybody guess what the song was? When Rafi Saab rehearsed for fifteen days for this song and after recording this song his voice was broken. and people started telling he won’t get his voice back. The raag was Darbari, the film Baiju Bawra and the song was “O Duniya ke Rakhwale”. That was how Rafi Saab performed his immortal songs based on classical ragas. Therefore, I personally feel, it is not exaggeration or inappropriate to call Rafi Saab – Baiju of modern times. By: H.A.K. Walijah Baiju Bawra is a 1952 Hindi movie directed by Vijay Bhatt. It stars Bharat Bhushan and Meena Kumari. Naushad , lyricist Shakeel Badayuni and Rafi created memorable songs for the movie....and the rest is history!
