"The melting voice through mazes running, Untwisting all the chains that tie. The hidden soul of harmony."

- Milton, L'Allegro

A voice, dulcet with an amazing range. An imagination that can capture every human emotion. An energy that is prolific and prodigious. Can all these attributes dwell in one singer?

Yes its true with Padmashri Dr. S. P. Balasubramaniam who has given his lovely voice in around 100 Hindi movies. Many great music directors including renowned music director A. R. Rehman always invite SPB to sing at least one song in most of the movies for which they work as a music director.

His lovely voice best suited to the Bollywood actor Salman Khan and many others. Moreover the lovely voice of SPB has played an important role in the grand success of Salman as a Super Star of Indian Cinema. He is very simple by nature and liked by everyone around him and in the film industry. SPB has successfully made his foot prints in Indian music after great Mohd. Rafi, Mukesh & Kishor Kumar.

SPB is one of my favourite singer of Bollywood. Lets have a look at some of the amazing Hindi collections of SPB in which we had listened lovely songs in the golden voice of SPB:

Ek Duje Ke Liye

Tere Mere Beech Mein. Mere Jeevan Saathi. Hum Tum Dono

Maine Pyar Kiya Dil Deewana. Mere Rang Mein. Aaja Shaam Hone Aayee. Aate Jaate Hanste Gaate. Hum Bane Tum Bane. Kabootar Ja Ja Ja. Maine Pyar Kiya. Aaya Mausam Dosti Ka. Antakshar

100 DaysSun Sun Sun Dilruba. Taana Deri Na Taana Na De. Sun Beliya

Love

I Am Sorry

Aaja Aaja Give Me a KissMy Love Meri Priyatama

Saathiya Tune Kya Kiya

Patthar Ke Phool

Deewana Dil

Naa Jaa Naa Jaa

Sun Dilruba Dil Ki Sada

Kabhi Tu Chhaliya Lagta Hai

Maut Se Kya Darna

Sajna Tere Bina Kya Jeena

Tumse Jo Dekhte Hi Pyar Hua

Saajan

Bahut Pyar Karte Hai

Jiye To Jiye Kaise

Pehli Baar Mile Hain

Tumse Milne Ki Tamanna Hai

Dekha Hai Pehli baar

Teri Paayal Mere Geet

Baat Sabse Karo Pyar Humse Karo

Har Jawaan Dil Ko Kisi Se Pyar Hota Hai

Teri Payal Mere Geet

Vansh

Hum Hai Raaja

Aake Teri Baahon Mein

Aaye Hain Jalaane

Yeh Mera Dil

Andaz Apna Apna

Ye Raat Aur Ye Duri

Do Mastaane Chale Zindagi Banane

Shola Shola Tu Bhadke

Hum Aapke Hai Kaun

Dhiktana

Pehla Pehla Pyar Hai

Didi Tera Dever Deewana

Hum Aapke Hai Kaun

Joote De Do

Mausam Ka Jaadu

And many more.

About his Personal Life:

Meanwhile, he also pursued his hobby and won awards at many singing competitions and identified as a good singer in annual college programs where he use to sing.

South Indians will agree to the title. For other's, 35,000 songs and hence the Guneese Book of records entry will be sufficient I believe. I am not a south Indian and hence do not know much about SP. But the depth and variety of songs he has given to us is admirable. I am a great admirer of his voice quality. The way in which he can raise the pich and take it down is a miracle. As faar as know he does not have classical background but it is difficult to believe.

For Hindi movie viewers, he is the singer who gave playback for Salman in ihis initial days (Maine Pyar Kiya). Also, you can go back to Ek duje ke liye which gave him national award.

He tried his stint as actor also and believe did well there also. I miss his voice now a days as it seems he has stopped singing.

SP your fans want you to sing again

Kamal Hasan was candid in confessing that being an artist himself, his first reaction towards any fellow creative artist is of envy. However, he was generous with this fellow contemporary artist who is hugely successful, talented and very much in his domain. This is just not true with Kamal Hasan but across music aficionado’s all over globe who adore him not just for his rich voice but also for his modesty, simplicity.

This man S P Balasubramanyam, popularly known as Balu. His fans call him Simply Prolific Balu; I would prefer to call him Simple Person Balu.

In 1992, at Lata Mangeshkar’s live concert in Muscat, he was exuberant in lavishing praise on precocious talents of A. R. Rahman while introducing song from Roza (tamil). Roza was not yet released then in Hindi and not many knew much about Rahman. Despite Balu riding on the crest of popularity of ‘Maine Pyar Kiya”, He was symbol of humility on stage. The other instance was at Dakshin restaurant at Park Sheraton in Chennai. This place has live classical vocal performance. While relishing food, he was not just encouraging the artists but made sure that he had a word with them before he departed. Today, as I was watching his recorded live concert in Hyderabad - as tribute to RD Burman – made me go back to the above two incidents.

During Doordarshan days in late 70’s, on Sunday afternoon I had watched SHANKARABHARANAM - a classic movie. Despite watching movie on subtitles, riveting devotional rendition was something that I have always associated with this movie. Only later, I learnt that these renditions were by Balu who won his first national award for his songs. His arrival on Hindi movie scene was as dramatic with securing the National Award for his first song in Ek Duje Ke Liye.

His repertoire in excess of 35,000 songs over many languages has already placed him in Guinness Book of records. His quintessential voice quality ensures even when he sing Mohd. Rafi’s, Manna Da’s and RD’s songs, they don’t lose out the essence of the originality of musical composition, so different from others who either mimic the great artists or do a remix making complete hash of the originality.
