Even in original Manna Dey was a better singer than Rafi saab. Manna Da was a bonafide classical singer. Rafi saab was semi-classical at best, but he had a gift from God of a very rare, sweet voice. You are hearing this from a member of family of ardent Rafi fans. We are fair people, though.
@@SuperGiantSlayer SIR I also want to Tell U A damn fact... MANNA DEY JI is A Nephew of K.C.DEY JI... Who was A "GURU". Of MANNA DEY JI & ALSO of S.D.BURMAN DA... MANNA DEY JI once asked to K.C.DEY JI (HIS UNCLE) If I know Classical SONG so well Then Why I fail to Dominate "RAFI SAHAB".....K. C.DEY JI replied HIS VOICE has A Divine Power.. And Who said "RAFI SAHAB"...didn't learn Classical that much... It's TRUE HE DIDN'T TAKE ANY FORMAL TRAINING... But HE learned Whatever was Specified and Concrete... And that's why HIS adaptability was Far better than Others and The Way of Rendering Any SONG.. Otherwise,Just think Very Honestly How could U be Able to Sing Pure Classical based Songs... "RAFI SAHAB"...sang NACHE MANN MORA MAGAN, KUHU-KUHU BOLE KOYALIYA, RUM-JHUM K BAJAO BANSARI MURARI,JHANANANA-JHAN BAJE PAYALIYA, AJHUNA AAYE BALMA,ANKHIYAN SANG ANKHIYAN LAAGI AAJ,MANN TARAPAT HARIDARSHAN KO AAJ..... HE must be Aware of THE AAROH-AWROH..., TAAN, SARGAM, AALAP.. How many MATRAS... TAALS etc.Otherwise With Formal Training One can Sing few Songs but not YAMAN-KALYAN,KEDAR,BAGESHWARI,BHAIRAWI,MALHAR,HAMEER,MALKAUSH,LALIT,DARBARI KANHARA... and Many as SRINGAR RASH.. This Was Modesty of "RAFI SAHAB"...That HE didn't Ever prefer to say -I learned this or that like Other ARTISTS.. NO PROUD, NO EGO, NO SHOW OFF... etc.But believe ME without learning One can't Sing with MANNA DEY JI, KRISHNARAO CHONKAR JI, LATA MANGESHKAR JI... "RAFI SAHAB"....took depth Knowledge and Then HIS VOICE Quality Was So Good... Crystal clear,Clean Ascent,Extreme Melody and Expressions... Or Emotions.... Modulations!!!!! Uffffffffffff Please don't ask... Absolutely Out of this UNIVERSE... 🙏🙏🙏😊Thanks😊🙏
@@astroshreesomok-astrologer1098 we seem to be in agreement for the most part. My entire family including myself are diehard Rafi fans, so there's no need to produce any arguments in favor of Rafi saab. As I said earlier, I am a fair person and a overall music lover. So, despite being a fan of Rafi saab, if someone sung better in a song than him, then they must be given the credit. One correction is required in what you said: "Rafi saab didn't receive any training." This is incorrect. Rafi saab had atleast 3 gurus/ustaads in his early days. I am just saying that Manna Da turned out to be a better classical singer than Rafi saab. It could be due to any reason like Rafi saab's range and versatility of having command over many vocal forms including pop, fast songs etc. that gave him less time to concentrate on classical music.
