Mohammed Rafi
1924–1980
About Mohammed Rafi
The golden voice of Bollywood whose extraordinary range spanned romantic ballads, qawwalis, patriotic anthems, and comic songs. Mohammed Rafi's versatility made him the go-to playback singer for actors from Dilip Kumar to Amitabh Bachchan. His premature death at 55 left a void in Indian film music that many consider unfilled.
