'''Mohammed Rafi''' ({{lang-hi|मोहम्मद रफ़ी}}, {{lang-ur|محمد رفیع}}, December 24, 1924 – July 31, 1980) was a popular [[Bollywood]] [[playback singer]]. In a career of over 40 years, Rafi sang more than 26,000 songs in the national [[language]]s of [[India]] and sometimes in other languages.

==Career==
In 1944, Rafi moved to [[Mumbai]]. Rafi appeared in two movies. In 1945, he appeared on the screen for the song "Tera Jalwa Jis Ne Dekha" in the film ''Laila Majnu''. He sang a number of songs as part of the chorus, including with [[K. L. Saigal]] from the movie ''Shahjahan'' (1946). Rafi sang in Mehboob Khan's ''Anmol Ghadi'' (1946). He had a duet with [[Noor Jehan]] in the 1947 film ''Jugnu'', "Yahan Badla Wafa Ka". After partition, Rafi decided to stay in India. Noor Jehan migrated to [[Pakistan]] and made a pair with playback singer [[Ahmed Rushdi]].

In 1949, Rafi was given solo songs by music directors such as Naushad, Shyam Sunder, and Husnalal Bhagatram.

In his early career, Rafi associated with many contemporary music directors, most notably [[Naushad Ali]]. In the late 1950s and 1960s, he worked with other composers of the era such as [[O. P. Nayyar]], [[Shankar Jaikishan]], [[Sachin Dev Burman|S.D. Burman]] and [[Roshan (music director)|Roshan]].

In the early 1970s, Rafi recorded fewer songs. He made a comeback as a leading singer in 1974.

==Death==
On Thursday, July 31, 1980, Rafi died at 10:50 p.m., following a massive [[heart attack]]. He had four sons (Saeed Rafi, Khalid Rafi, Hamid Rafi, Shahid Rafi), three daughters (Parveen, Nasreen, Yasmin) and 18 grandchildren.
