Description

In a singing career spanning 35 years, Mohammed Rafi came to be regarded by many as the greatest playback singer the Hindi film industry has ever known, giving voice to most of the actors. One of his hallmarks was his variety of songs, ranging from classical and patriotic songs to ghazals and bhajans, romantic songs and duets. His songs live on in the hearts of millions long after he passed away in 1980. Yasmin Rafi grew up as a devoted fan of Mohammed Rafi, little knowing that she would one day meet and marry his son, Khalid. This transition from ‘fan to family’ as she puts it, led to this heart-warming memoir and an intimate portrait of an artist who was an icon for the world, but for his family, a simple, caring and loving man who delighted as much in good food, flying kites with his children, and driving his parrot-green Fiat through the streets of Mumbai.
