MOHAMMED RAFI - THE LAST DECADE...4

TRIBUTE TO THE GREAT INDIAN LEGENDARY SINGER, MOHAMMED RAFI:
The Last Decade - Rising of the Phoenix.

Continued...4...

There were many duets and even quartets sung by Rafi Sahaab with various singers during the above period. But since this article is not an anthology of such songs, we shall briefly enlist only the duets of the two female singers, namely, Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhonsle in 1970-1980. Lata Mangeshkar sang most duets with Rafi Sahaab, notwithstanding their 'sanyas' from each other for about four years in the Sixties. However, as we approach the 1980's we find Asha Bhonsle overtaking Lata Mangeshkar to grab this honour.  Experts point out that there are some 800 Rafi-Asha duets.
