Wud like to add that none other than ARR Sir could have done justice to songs like 'Khwaja Mere Khwaja' and 'Meherbaan'

As for earlier discussions about ARR's voice, my view is that it really suits some songs perfectly. For example the soft, respectful, peaceful nature of his voice was perfect for the message of Vande Mataram. And it's also perfect for Rehna Tu from Delhi 6, in which he sounds like a better version of Sting. tim
