Mohammad Rafi

Rafi Sahab was born on 24th December 1924 in Kotla Sultansingh village in Punjab,near mritsar. Although music was not a part of his family background, there is no doubt that he was born with a gift for music in his heart. His father certainly did not look favourably upon his singing. Mohammed Rafi was one of India’s greatest playback singers. He’s left behind a rich legacy of songs sung by him over 35 years. Rafi’s voice, ranging from the melancholic to the boisterous, was such that it suited every mood and every occasion in films. Rafi was born the youngest of six sons of Hajji Ali Mohammad at Kotla Sultan Singh a town near Amritsar in Punjab (British India).

The purity of his voice reflected the purity of his ideals and his mind. He was not affected by his greatness and material values never superceded human and social ethics for this spiritual and unassuming maestro. He had an unblemished illustrious career and retained an untarnished and highly dignified reputation in an industry which at times is more known for its vices than the good it produces. Indians the world over were stunned on 31st July 1980 when Rafi Sahab left this world to indulge the heavens with his silky voice.

Awards
Rafi was honored with the “best singer of the millennium” by Hero Honda and Stardust magazine in Mumbai on Jan 7, 2001. Rafi received a silver medal from the Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, on the first anniversary of the Indian Independence Day.
