Have you listened to these SP Balasubrahmanyam songs? (Photo: SP Balasubrahmanyam/Facebook)There was something instantly likeable about SP Balasubrahmanyam. He always seemed rooted, charming and full of warmth and life. It looks like those are the side-effects of being a heavily gifted musician. It won’t be an exaggeration to say that for about 50 years, SPB has remained an integral part of every household down south. And his massive volume of songs will continue to mesmerize generations to come.
SPB was so effortless that he made signing look so easy. So much so that it fills you with confidence to try and mimic him, only to be reminded by others around you, in rude words, that you don’t exactly sound like SPB. There was an SPB song that one could pick for all occasions and emotions and in all the languages. That is one of the great feats that set him apart from other great singers of our generation.
Here is a list of iconic songs that made our childhood so memorable and rewarding. Mind it, this list is just a drop from the ocean of songs that SPB has left behind.
