The next best thing SPB did apart from playback was singing on stage with equal passion and becoming one of the best singers who could easily recreate in a live performance, the theatrical experience of a song. That kind of love for an artiste is the pinnacle of a blessed life. However, what I do wish to emphasise is how wonderful ly SPB has touched all our hearts and lives irrespective of which generation or era we may belong to! His health status seems to be getting better and I can hear an entire population breathe a sigh of relief on reading that. When a voice like that sang for a face like a Kamal Haasan or Rajinikanth or Chiranjeevi or Mohan or anyone else, the hero became as winsome! I’m wilfully averting the temptation to get into a list of favourite songs, because it’s just beyond count. The voice of this singer seems like everything a woman would want in a man: It’s steadfast, intense, clear and sweet (read ‘sensitive’). Needless to say, he is my first ‘hero’ before I saw a hero on screen, I first heard his voice through SPB’s songs. I also grew up thinking he sang the song, “Sujatha, I love you Sujatha” (Kodeeswaran Magal) just for me and even asked him to render a few lines just for me when I interviewed him for this paper a couple of years ago. I believed that a ‘real man’ would talk like SPB, sing like SPB, show as much love for a woman as SPB did in his songs and have as much purpose and pathos as SPB rendered. SPB may no longer be among us, but his voice will live on forever.I also grew up dreaming that the man I fall in love with should have this voice. Two of SPB’s songs from this album – Bahut Pyaar Karte Hai and Tumse Milne Ke – have remained evergreen even after so many years. Lawrence D’ Souza’s Saajan, starring Sanjay Dutt, Salman Khan and Madhuri Dixit in lead roles, is one of the all-time hit Hindi albums. SPB breathes life into this melodious number from Roja by AR Rahman.Ī soulful melody, SPB’s voice along with PK Mishra’s lyrics elevates this song to another level and has to be on your tracklist if you’re a true SPB fan. This one’s a favourite of people across all age groups. While there are many hit tracks in the album, the one that’s most popular among his fans is, Aaja Shaam Hone Aayee, a duet featuring Salman and Bhagyashree. In Sooraj Barjatya’s Maine Pyar Kiya, starring Salman Khan and Bhagyashree in lead roles, SPB sang all the songs in the album. Tere Mere Beech Mein is one of the hit tracks from the album and SPB went on to win a National Award for Best Playback Singer Male. įeaturing Kamal Haasan and Rati Agnihotri in the lead, the film had a great soundtrack by Laxmikant-Pyarelal. SPB forayed into Bollywood with K Balachander’s Ek Duuje Ke Liye, a remake of his own Telugu film Maro Charitra. Tere Mere Beech Mein ( Ek Duuje Ke Liye ) The album also featured another hit SPB number, O Maria, a groovy, wedding song. Sach Mere Yaar from Ramesh Sippy’s Saagar, starring Kamal Haasan, Rishi Kapoor and Dimple Kapadia, is a song about friendship. Here we have listed out five of his best evergreen Hindi songs through which he will live on with us forever. From Ek Duuje Ke Liye to Maine Pyar Kiya and Hum Aapke Hai Kaun among others, the legendary singer has been associated with quite a few popular Hindi hit tracks. With over 40,000 songs across 16 Indian languages and numerous prestigious honours, including Padma Shri and Padma Bhushan to his credit, SPB has fans across all age groups in the country.Īlthough he has predominantly sung in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam and Kannada, he has several Hindi chartbusters to his credit as well. SPB’s unparalleled contribution to Indian music is worth pointing out. He passed away earlier today leaving his family and fans heartbroken. He was 74-years-old and was admitted to a private hospital in Chennai after contracting COVID-19. Legendary singer SP Balasubrahmanyam (SPB) breathed his last today, leaving a void in all our lives, especially those who were huge fans of his music.
