New Delhi: Singing
legend Lata Mangeshkar remembers late singer Mohammed Rafi on his
31st death anniversary and says there can never be a singer like
him again. Both of them sang 414 duets together.
"Today's the 31st death anniversary of Rafi sahab. He was an
honest and a lovely human being. My family and Rafi sahab shared a
great relationship together. It's my honour that I got an
opportunity to sing maximum number of songs with him," Lata posted
on her Twitter page.
"We have worked in almost 315 films and have sung 414 duets
together. We can never have such a great singer again," she added.
They have given evergreen hit songs like "Bekhudi mein sanam", "Haye
re haye", "Chhup gaye saare nazare" among others.
Rafi lent his voice for almost all the leading actors such as
Dilip Kumar, Dev Anand, Rajendra Kumar, Manoj Kumar, Shammi Kapoor
and Rajesh Khanna.
The singer died of a heart attack in Mumbai July 31, 1981, at the
age of 56.
