    Rafi is my favourite singer of all others. he can reach high pitch very easily ,some of them are paying tribute to him on youtube . a legend like him deserves a lot of appreciation and praises for his dedication to the bollywood. those oldies he sang still pierces one's heart . his son is very wise to felicitate Rafi on his 30th death anniversary. his voice was a mello incomparable to other singers. long live his songs !!

    This is very good news I have heard of my singing idol, Rafiji. I am 65 years old and the very first singing voice I heard was that of Mohd Rafi. We in Guyana adored him and still do. I used to make cassettes with only Rafiji's songs. He will always be the best for me. His name will not only be remembered as long as music is part of our lives, it will live even if this universe is no more!!! I will always hear his mellifluous voice singing "Suhani Raat dhal chuki".

    Thanks Shahid Rafi and may your music academy be a great success.
