Based on Bhimplasi raga, rain in the background, the song had a soft and marvellous touch. Rafi Saab sang it so differently from other songs and Madanji’s composing is too amazing – one among his masterpieces, and definitely the best song of Rafi-Madan Mohan combination. I should say, Rafi’s voice stood above all. What to praise – Madan Mohan’s tune, Kaifi Azmi’s words, music arrangement, soft and sensuous voice of Rafi or those two lines sung by Lata Mangeshkar. I would like to begin the list with one of my most favourite Bollywood tracks all time. Tum Jo Mil Gaye Ho from Hanste Zakhm (1973) (Lyricist: Kaifi Azmi Music Director: Madan Mohan) Also read: Top 50 solo tracks of Kishore Kumar.ġ. Needless to say Shammi Kapoor solos tops the list, followed by Rajendra Kumar, Joy Mukherjee, Biswajeet etc. As I am an ardent fan of Bollywood music of 1960s, majority of songs belong to this era. It’s my humble tribute to the greatest ever Indian playback singer, who left us 40 years back. Our choice of songs may change according to our mood as well, and over the years. Each person has his own choice of Rafi songs, and his own playlist. I can never say, his ‘best 50 songs’ that’s why I told, his most popular 50 Bollywood songs. It’s not easy to list best of his 50 or 100 solos, and it’s my humble attempt to choose 50 of his most popular tracks. That shows his popularity during his peak years of 1950s and 1960s. There was a time when more than 12 or 14 out of 15 songs featured in the popular radio show, Binaca Geet Mala were Rafi songs, with solos and duets combined. His voice is so sweet and perfect that no other voice has managed to cross the benchmark created by him in male playback singing, even after 4 decades of his death. His voice perfectly matched with almost all actors of golden era, except Raj Kapoor. Along with it, he has sung in ease, romantic tracks, peppy numbers, patriotic songs as well as comic ones. Rafi remained the dominant male voice of Bollywood music for two decades, which can be termed as golden era, or the era when most of film tunes were based on or inspired from Indian classical music, and Rafi was a master of it. Ya, I know, a singer expresses well if he sings solos. When I prepared his best 50 songs, more than 35 were solos. I have already added a few topics on Rafi’s hit songs, and when I prepared different lists, I noticed that his major songs were solos. Malayalam Song Lyrics & English Translation.
