S.P.B sings others' songs

Topic started by bb (@ 216.217.80.201) on Mon May 14 20:40:59 EDT 2001.
All times in EST +10:30 for IST.

Udhaya gave me these songs by S.P.B which are not originally sung by S.P.B. The songs can be found here: http://www.dhool.com/html/spb_other.html . It looks like this was done during a stage show (and the orchestra is patchy in several places). I personally feel that S.P.B has done a good job in a few songs, like nilavE ennidam nerungaadhE and poonkaathu thirumbumaa. It will be a good exercise to compare him with other singers in this regard. I wish more singers sing such classics that are not originally sung by them.

  Sri Balasubrahmanyam … is an accomplished, addictive singer that has stolen the hearts of Telugus worldwide and Indians in most parts of the world…. Balu is not only an accomplished singer but a multi talented artist who has proven his talents in many Telugu Movies….Balu is blessed with the most appealing voice that I know.
  
  
  By Singer Mano;
  
  Some are born for creating records and some for breaking them. Balu is the one born for both of them.” He gives life to the lyrics and heart & soul to the music. He is a true role model for any aspiring singer. He is an art that cannot be imitated and a song that cannot be duplicated. Then is it a wonder, for millions, to be like him is a dream come true?
  
  By MD K.V.Mahadevan
  
  A sizeable credit for the National Award given to me by the Government of India for the "BEST MUSIC DIRECTOR" for the film "SANKARABHARANAM" goes to Balu….Of course the rendition of the songs by him contributed tremendously to the success of the movie. It was, in my opinion, equal to, if not better than, the best efforts from a specialist in classical songs. Today he has truly established himself as one of the few singers of quality in all the South Indian languages, including Malayalam, Kannada and Hindi.
  Though he is known to come late for the recording, he more than compensates for the delay by ensuring that all the songs are rendered to perfection in the first try itself. For all his popularity, he is very humble and very friendly with all members of the orchestra. He also provides a number of useful suggestions to improve the music for his songs…
  In his humbleness, magnanimity, and love for music, he has no equal today. His golden voice is the one and only in the industry.

  What I can say about a highly multi talented, most brilliant singer in many languages a very successful dubbing artiste, music director, a natural actor-SPB
  As a singer he ably, rightly and well-deservedly succeeded the stalwarts like Mohd. Rafi, Ghantasala and Kishore Kumar whose enchanting voices had a lasting spell on the minds of cine music lovers for a long period and whose charm still continue and their Melody echoes in the ears of everybody.
  His quick and easy grasp of a tune of any kind is a very rare gift and an enviable boon that rightly and necessarily compelled him to render the highest number of songs…which is a unique record and a great feat…
  He is also a good speaker and a capable compeer at Cine and other functions. He has a Devil's energy charged and recharged with divine grace from time to time to work hard for a very long hours in a day continuously for years together untiringly.
  His achievements are out-standing and phenomenal. Above all, of course, the time also has been splendid and favourable to him as constant faithful friend opening many a good opportunities thus he is very lucky and great as he is today. He is a miracle in the singing world, and it is no exaggeration that he is an adult prodigy.
  
  By the great singer M.rafi
  
  Well, what can I say about Balu, this guy is blessed with the most richest, divinest voice, although he is from a non-music (classical) background , he is truly outstanding when comes to proper carnatic or Hindustani , now that’s nothing but gift from the all mighty god!. He is even better than most of the proper trained carnatic singers.
  
  Balu’s trademarks such as his laugh, cry, expressing emotions , modulation, excellent bass, punch, last but not least his amazing voice, makes him the ultimate.
  
  He says that I am his role model & how much he admires me, but I admire him more than he thinks, he is of course my favourite singer.
  
  All of the above articles were found on a web pages / magazines.

  Whenever I hear the name 'Raguvaran' I am reminded of the Psycho character played by the actor Raguvaran in some movie. And I am sure that one of the Raguvarans that post here is definitely a psycho!
  
  Look at the way he has posted in reply to Sriram Lakshman's posting a few pages back! We all know how much high Sriram Lakshman holds SPB and how much he loathes SPB's image being brought down (by SPB himself) by such albums!
  
  There's NO DOUBT that SPB's voice is aging. If you cannot see this, especially after hearing these songs - then you - Raguvaran - you must certainly be a "stubborn" pyscho!

  No doubt Vani is a great singer ..but no comparison with the legend that is PS. Vani forgot herself after hearing 'Nalai indha velai parthu odi vaa nila' What a great song !
  Vani too has rendered great songs like Megame Megame and some fundu bhajans but PS with TMS created a record that can never be surpassed any time.

  Telugu listeners after listening to legendary singer Ghantasala’s Bhagwad Gita for more than thirty years would now have the second choice to the great philosophical verses rendered by none-other than ace playback singer S.P. Balasubramaniam. Music is composed by veteran Tamil music director Pughalendhi and it is being released by GSK Melody Presentation. Bigwigs like Ramoji Rao and T. Subbirami Reddy praised the mellifluous voice of SPB who has ruled the roost for more than three decades before releasing the cassette at a grand function at Sri Satyasai Kalyana Mandapam.

  A LIVING LEGEND
  HEARTY congratulations to SP Balasubrahmaniam on winning the prestigious Padmashri Award this year. The award, a little laate in coming, is one more feather in the already crowded cap of this great singer whose golden voice has enthralled music-lovers all our India. In a long and glittering career spanning four decades, SPB has scaled many peaks as a singer, actor and music director par excellence. His monumental achievements have earned him a place in the list of all-time greats in the Indian film industry. In an age when cacophony passes off as music, SPB’s rich and sonorous voice assures connoisseurs of music that melody in music is still alive and kicking. No wonder then that he is called a living legend.
  YV Apoorvachandra,
  Udupi, Karnataka
