Rafi was born on December 24, 1924 in a small village in Punjab (now in Pakistan) near Amritsar and later shifted to Lahore when he was 14 years old. There he studied music under Khan Abdul Washeed Khan, Jeevanlal Matto and Gulam Au Khan. He recorded his first song in 1944 for a Punjabi film Gul Baloch with music director Shyam Sunder. Only a few people know that had acted in a couple of Hindi films, Laila Majnu (1945) and Jugnu (1947). But his first choice was music, so he leaved the field of acting on his own will.
His voice was so versatile that it suited any mood ranging from the boisterous to the melancholic. Rafi sang for Dilip Kumar, Dev Anand, Shammi Kapoor, Rajendra Kumar, Johnny Walker, Sunil Dutt, Biswajeet, Joy Mukherjee, Dharmendra, Shashi Kapoor and Raj Kumar. From the classical ‘Madhuban mein Radhika Nachi re to the swinging ‘Aaja Aaja Main Hoon Pyaara Tera’, from the soulful ‘Hama Bekhudi Main Aapako Pukarein’ to the comic ‘Sar Jo Tera Chakraye, from the philosophical ‘Dekhi Zamaane Ki Yaari’ to the frivolous Aiaiya Karoon Main Kyaa Sookoo Sookoo’, he could sing anything!
