Folks
I am not sure how popular this one will be.
I was listening to the song "Daiyya re daiyya" from leader. Rafi only has Alaap in it. it actually adds a huge value to the song.
similarly the song "Sajan tere pyaar mein" from Mahua and "Ruhi Ruhi Ruhi" from Shahjehan with K L Saigal.

I wonder if any of you has come across songs where Rafi has made only a minimal appearance.

I would like to collect such songs too.
Feel free to contribute.
Hope you have a nice summer...
Regards

O.P. Nayyar used to mostly always try and enlarge the role of Asha in Rafi-Asha duets, in comparison to the role of Rafi Saab.

Why, you may ask. My own answer is that OPN always very fondly wanted to popularise Asha as a singer. (Poor man, he didn't know how counterproductive it would turn out to be for himself during later days!)

Anyway, OPN thought the best way to sell Asha was to make her sing with the Colossus, Rafi, as frequently as possible, but with a longer duration for Asha. More so, since OPN knew that the simple and unassuming soul that Rafi was, he would never object to it.

One example is the Rafi-Asha duet from Film: Tum Sa Nahi Dekha, "Dekho Kasam Se, Kasam Se". In this two full antaras and more is on Asha. Rafi Saab comes in between briefly with the beautiful line, "Kya Lagaayi Tum Ne Yeh Kasam Kasam Se, Lo Thahar Gaye Ham, Kuch Kahogi Ham Se" and he steals the show.

There is another Rafi-Shamshad duet from Film :Musafirkhana(MD: again OPN). It goes thus: "Thoda Sa Dil Lagaake Dekh, Rum Pum Tararararara rarararum". In this duet, the whole lyrics are only on Shamshad Begum. Rafi Saab just keeps saying his Rumpums and Tararumpums, much like the interlude musical bits! And by this, the song has become such a beautiful one!

Some more examples later.

I have changed many views in life since my childhood, but not my view of Rafi Saab as the God-sent Gandharva who visited this Earth briefly to spread ultimate ecstasy among genuine music-lovers!

The first one that comes to my mind..is the beautiful composition..Main tumhi se phoochti hoon...from Black Cat. Rafi sings just a couple of lines before the main song.." Tum haseen ho tumhe sab dil mein jagah dete hain...Hum mein bhi kya baat hain...Aise jo bhi pyar karen ? "...but for me it is a duet nevertheless....and i always repent that Rafi didnt sing not even one line of that memorable composition of N.Dutta... smile.gif
Rafi gave his heart out for those two lines...just listen once to the passion in his Voice ! Awsome !!

After silence that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.

One more coming to mind....AANKHON HI AANKHON MEIN ISHAARAA HO GAYAA BAITHE BAITHE JEENE KAA SAHAARAA HO GAYAA.
Rafi repeats only these lines in whole song!

Good picks, Erum Ji and SF.

One more. There is a song in Film:Babul(Naushad), which is sung by Talat, Shamshad and Rafi.

In this, Rafi Saab has only one line all through. And that is: "nadiya mein utha hai shor chhayi hai ghata ghanaghor jaana door hai". And he says it so beautifully.

Yeah, CM2 Ji. If I remember right, G.M.Durrani says, "Kaam Kuch Karti Nahin, Aur Baandhti Hain Saadiyan" and Rafi Saab faithfully repeats the line! smile.gif

How about the mother of all late entry songs, Kya Mausam Hai from Doosra Aadmi composed by Rajesh Roshan.

Rafi saab comes in with:

Yeh mastiyan yeh bahar
phir ho chala beqarar
main girta ho mujhe thaam lo
bheege labon se mera naam lo


He totally changes the whole song, and leaves his stamp all over the composition. No other singer could have entered the song like that.

2 songs which come to my mind , both composed by OPN, are

Hum ko chhodke kahan jaaoge, saiyyan tum bada dukh paaoge from Shrimati 420. Rafi sahab sings only Oh ho , Ha ha...and how sweet it sounds !

Asha ji's song Dekh ke teri nazar bekarar ho gaye from Howrah Bridge. Rafi sahab sings only one stanza
Mukh pe paseena halka
gora yeh roop haaye
Humne toh aaj dekhi
barkha mein dhoop haaye..

Dekho yeh ladke saare
bechaare dil ke maare
tum pe nisaar ho gaye ..

What a voice !

Cheers
Parag

One song coming to my mind is Aa Bhi Ja Bewafa from Raat Ke Raahi!
Asha Bhonsle is singing in the entire song and Rafi sahab is only humming in it. He sounds cute as usual.
