SPB lent his voice to heroes for 5 decades

Acclaimed playback singer PB Sreenivos had once described thespian Rajkumar as ‘Nayakara Gayaka, Gayakara Nayaka’ (hero of singers and singer of heroes). The only other person who lived up to the description was singer and actor SP Balasubrahmanyam, who passed away on Friday after about a month’s battle with Covid-19.
