Wanted these 4 a long, long time... courtesy of sum friend I finally have them. I just had to share these with you all straight away.

You ppl r Rafi lovers, u must surly also respect Anwar. Can u honestly hand on heart say that u don't see Rafi in these?


Both songs r 4rom the film: BESHAQUEClick to view attachment

I am sorry Yar Mere I dont see even an iota of Rafisaab in Anwar. I seriously feel this is the wrong forum to upload these songs.

Sorry u feel that way...

Regarding the place, never had a problem b4 posting Anwar songs in Rafi forum.

YAAD TERI AYEGI MUJHKO BARA SATIYEGI BY SHABBIR KUMAR
when i listen to that all i hear is Rafi
that song was made for Rafi
shame the song writer did not write it a couple of years earlier

as for Anwar....well he is just another Rafi clone
I used to believe zindagi imtihaan leti hai from naseeb was Rafi.....now that is a good impersonation
the new heer ranjha song rab ne banaya tujhe mere liye.....i see alot of Rafi in that

i suppose this ain't the forum for clones so i wont go on any further
i wont make any further comments

This Topic was moved by me , under SKS section today.

Just for the simplicity and easy routine maintenance, it is desired that anything not related directly to respective legendary singers... should be posted in the SKS section.

Up in MAS, am gonna respect ur red nick this once n bite my tongue.

YOU are always welcome for that .
I love Anwar songs as much as Rafi sahab . and its a pity people cannot get trace of rafi in him -( hearing aid recommended ) - again i say - HE IS THE BEST RAFI IMITATOR/FOLLOWER/INHERITOR who has his own songs - and not like other singers created albums of songs sung by Rafi . He had a very sweet voice and was very much in control of Sur and Taal as well , and nicely portrayed emotions .
His Voice had a good base .

Yaar mere - i recently took HMV offering -ANMOL RATAN -ANWAR . and that has the following songs : ( what they remind me of )

1) KOI PARDESI AAYA PARDES MEIN . ( In class with Hum to chale pardes )

2) MUHABBAT AB TIJARAT - at par with Kya Miliye Aise Logon se (uploaded)

3) MERE KHALAYON KE REHGUZAR SE - BEst andaaz-e-rafi (JAB Muhaabat JAwan)

4) TERE HIJAAB NE MUJHE ---Cute eXCELLENT ( MERE HUZUR)

5) HUMSE KA BHOOLHUE JO YEH SAZAA - ( Mile Na Phool tokaaton se )

6) TERE AnKHOON KI CHAHAT MEIN -( better than Teri ankhon ke siva duniya )

7) HAATHON KI CHAND LAKERON KA - (EK Banjaara Gaye )

8) Mausam Mausam Lovely MausaM-- ( mAUSAM SUHAANE AA GAYEE )

9) YEH PYAAR THA YA KUCH ( with asha ) -- Anwars part is very nice .

I will be uploading the songs from the above list which havent been uploaded .

Other than this i like " KASMEIN HUMAPNI JAAN KI KHAYE " - this is very good .
ALso i know Anwar has many other songs - Eilmi and non filmli gazals .
Why not we find and upload thme . Why not also we find where he is nowand what he is doing .

Take Care . aur Paltalk Mein milte rehnaa ....

shaanawaaz, i very much agree with you, anwar is the best imitator , but he isnt an imitator, he naturally sings that way, and he sounds more like rafi saab than any other clone out there even including sonu nigam, anwar is a much better singer than he is given credit for. i have some non filmi ramzaan songs which i'll upload soon, in these few songs you can almost feel rafi saab in them.
by the way i'm gonna upload these on the ramzaan songs thread.

safraz nabi

More of Anwar...

Confession time...

Sum of these may not be "CD" quality, but they r listenable.

Also, I am quite sure that the uploads don't breach the 1988 cut off rule... but then again am not really too sure so do look into that 1.

Also, cud u'z pls let me know the female playback in the song "Tera Hi Naam Hai Yaara" (the only duet)?

Plus is the song "Woh Zulfen Bikere" from the film:Salam-e-mohabbat also (this is a tune n a half) ?



Thanks,

YM

I would definitely identify the singer...........but first i wud like to have your comments on how good/bad he sings, how much like Rafi??

thanks
Sharmila

Sharmila-ji:

I'm not able to open the downloaded files. I am getting logged on to the internet when I click to play the extracted files.

I've seemed to have started a Rafi 'clone' thread, not the intended idea but as long as there is none of that Sonu chap im happy.

Hi ,

I'm sorry that you cudnt download the file directly, I tried that myself and had to download the license .........to listen to the songs.........I dont know how to copy a song frm a CD to a computer using Windows Media Player and not have "protected license".......any suggestions are welcome.........

I hope you can enjoy the tracks now (after downloading the license for the WMP) and pls let me know how good they are..

thanks
Sharmila

Sharmila ji,

Whoever he is, I can say he is a class singer and has a very bright future. His pitch is perfect and over all I give him 9.5 out of 10.

The only place his SURR failed was in the song Suhaani raath dhal chuki at the line "tadap rahe hain hum yahan tumhare intezaar mein".

I have heard SONU Nigam too and he hardly impresses me when he sings Rafi numbers.

- Azgar

Thanks for ur comments Azgar ji, I appreciate it.....I wud like comments from the other members also pls..............

As for his identity, his name is Anil Bajpai, he is an upcoming stage singer in Mumbai and aspires to be a Bollywood singer some day and is also trying to come to US for stage shows. He is a friend and I hope he has a "bright future" as Azgar ji put it...

Thanks
Sharmila

Can anyone please please upload
Qasmain hum apni jaan ke
by Anwar from the film Mere gareeb Nawaaz

It is said that After listenting to this song Rafi Saab told the Music Director
Ye ladka mere baad meri jagah lega

Incidentally all the other 6 songs from that film were sung by Rafi

Hi Walker,

I just managed to get the full soundtrack to Mere Garib Nawaz on the weekend. Absolute beauties, 4 songs by Rafi Saab and two songs by Anwar, Qasmain hum apni jaan ke & Har musalman ko haji bana de. Definitely songs for anyones's collection......!!

Will u/l for you when I get home tonight.

Saj

I am waiting for the uploads with bated breath
Anwar is much more closer to Rafi.
Incidentally Anwar is the elder brother of Film Actor Arshad Warsi

Walker bhai,

Here is your request, quality is good, ripped of the LP. Enjoy!!!


Song: Kasmein hum apni jaan ki..
Singer: Anwar
Film: Mere Garib Nawaz
Year: 1973

When are u uploading the other songs from the album, Saj.

Also some time earlier Yaarmere had uploaded a song from the film Jeevan Rekha (1974)- Yaar mere meri bahon main - by Rafi

I wonder if more sound tracks are available from that film, music of which was composed by some new music directors Suman Jagdish Raj. No one seems to know much about them. That particular song was very melodious and exotic. I wonder if other songs are in the same vein.

Walker

Walker,

I will u/l the rest of the songs on the Rafi forum. I will be starting a thread on the Rafi forum, along the lines of "Soundtrack of the Week" which will have Rafi songs from 70's films which are not easily available on the market, Mere Garib Nawaz being a good example.

I'm very fortunate that I have a very good private source for my songs and pay big money to get hold of these rare gems. I have loads of soundtracks for the 70s & 80s which are not available. Its all a matter of time, but i will be u/l a majority of them on Rafi, Kishore & Lata forums.

Jeevan Rekha is an album I haven't enquired about yet. The trio of Suman Jagdish Raj have done a superb of the song Yaar Mere. Must have been the first trio ever in the industry, well before S-E-L arrived on the seen.

Keep an eye out on the Rafi forum, i will start the with the songs of Mere Garib Nawaz.

hiya sharmila,

i know anwar personally & like him very much.

im a kishore da & shabbir kumar fan but...

no matter what anyone says anwar hussain was the closest voice to mohd. rafi.

so much so that in some songs most people even think it is mohd. rafi

his biggest weakness was that he had a very weak voice & lacked range.

This thread is nominated for the quickest reply in HF history

We dont use those words here... they're 4bidden. Dont ask why, its a long sad story. Just play along.
