Rafi Sahab Once More-Usha Timothy

Usha Timothy in conversation with Farrukh Viqar
Usha Timothy is a veteran Bollywood playback singer. Referred to as a "Singer with a difference. She began her career in the film Himalay Ki God mein (1965). She has sung 5,000 songs in multiple Indian languages such as Hindi, Malayalam, Punjabi, Bhojpuri and Marathi etc.
Usha Timothy was born in Nagpur, Maharashtra, India in a Christian family. Her father worked for the CBI. She was the youngest of eleven siblings. Her elder brother, Madhusudan Timothy was inclined to music and often organized musical jalsas (gatherings) at home. Usha took her early musical lessons from Pt Laxman Prasad. She also learned Tappas and Thumris from Nirmala Devi.
Usha was discovered by Kalyanji Anandji. In 1956-57, a musical concert was held. It was called Kalyanji Anandji Night and prominent male singers like Mohammed Rafi, Manna Dey, Hemant Kumar, Mukesh performed songs composed by Kalyanji Anandji. The event was organized by Usha's father. Since there was no female singer to perform, Madhusudan suggested eight-year-old Usha's name to Kalyanji Anandji. She performed "Rasik Balma" from Chori Chori (1956) before the audience. Her performance pleased the audience as well as Kalyanji Anandji, who made her a part of their troupe. She did what was considered her first playback for them in Himalay Ki Godmein (1965). In that film, her duet with Mohammed Rafi "Tu Chhat Pe Khadi Thi" was well-received, but many thought it to be Asha Bhosle's voice. However, the first playback she gave was for a song in the 1962 film Durga Puja. Her major work was with Kalyanji Anandji for whom she sang many hit songs in the 1970s most of them duets with Mohammed Rafi.
In 1967, Laxmikant Pyarelal gave her two songs in the film Taqdeer. The songs were "Jab Jab Bahar Aayi" and "Papa Jaldi Aa Jana", both songs became popular. She was greatly inspired by Mohammed Rafi. She used to ask newcomers to follow the singing style of Rafi. She has also sung with Kishore Kumar in the song "Are Rafta Rafta Dekho Aankh Meri Ladi Hai".

Rafi sahab agar badmaash hote toh Usha ji ko bhi connection k zariye famous bana dete magar rafi sahab waise shaks the nahi...that adds more respect of his fans towards him

[@rafideep6246]

So Rafians be 24 carrot Gold Rafians.Yours devotion must be with only Rafisahab. Some times you are talking about Kishore Kumar and etc.You are not true worshiper of Rafisahab.Be like Meera who's devotion was with only Lord Krishna.Dao Kishti mae feet rakhne wala doobta hae.Kabhi bhi God nahi mil sakta.My devotion is only with Rafisahab.If God gives me the whole treasure still l will choose only Rafisahab.
