Rafi was an Ekceptional crooner

By no means would it be surprising if Shankar Jaikishan's fans remarked, “Ek beauty banayi aur Rafi saab se gawaaya” [which could be translated to, “They (the composer duo) composed a beauty and got Mohammed Rafi to render it.”]

The song in question was Ek But Banaoonga, the most underrated track on the soundtrack of Asli-Naqli.

It was penned by Hasrat Jaipuri.

For Rafi clones, including Anwar, Mohammed Aziz, Shabbir Kumar and Sonu Nigam, it wouldn’t be incorrect to state that it was akin to a bhajan rendered in honour of the numero uno singer.
