  >>Probably KJY has more hindi followers than SPB<<
  
  incorrect, this is purely your opinion, of course you are entitled to it, SPB is known widely in Hindi than KJY, this is fact, KJY has about 100 hindi songs to his Credit in Hindi compared to SPB's 500 hindi songs.
  
  >>According to mallus KJY is god let alone singer!!!
  << very true!!!
  
  but According to Tamil/telugu/Karnatika people SPB is god!!!

  >>"S.P.B is one of the greatest male playback singer India had ever produced"... <<
  
  Disagree!
  
  SPB is THE greatest male playback singer that india had ever produced!

  Rahu it your personal opinion. Don't make it universal. I don't think he is the greatest male playback singer every produced.

  Last night I was listening to 'Nilavu thoongum neram'... a great song by IR... but what made the song more beautiful was SPB's voice and modulations.. He is actually beyond comparison...

  “The best song is Baba Kichchu. No one but SPB could have sung this track with so much elan and the ebullient energy with which he modulates his voice effortlessly through the track makes one want to keep listening to it. Also, the lyrics by Vairamuthu are good and funny but full of political overtones - one reason why it will go down well with the fans”

  raghu,
  for baba songs, go to www.mohankumars.com
  
  and for mp3, there is not just one site I can suggest. Thousands of songs and not all of them are available in one website.. www.anytamil.com sells some of them online, if you want..

  Saravanan,
  The song by Yasu Daas in 1997 that you have mentioned, is it from any mainstream Hindi film,
  or is it an outskirt one?
  Can you tell whether Yasudaas sang any Hindi
  film songs in the 80's?
  
  
• From: Raghu (@ 217.158.120.226) on: Fri Aug 30 10:24:41 EDT 2002

  I think the song saravanan mentioned is a film by Sanjuy dutt, Jackie shroff & Urmila matkondar!

  To Everyone,
  Is there any type of songs that
  SPBS has not rendered? Any field, nook,
  corner remains unexplored by him?
  
  
• From: Thiru (@ 63.169.243.35) on: Fri Aug 30 10:47:12 EDT 2002
  
  Raghu,
  there was a site www.tamilmp3collection.com which had around 3000 tamil songs... the site is not functional any more but I have an excel file with embedded links to this site .. the actual mp3 songs are in zipped format... The excel file itself is 3 MB in size... I can send it to ur email id if u need...

  Hariharan is the greatest singer that India had ever produced.. It is not fair to put SPB in that place. HH is legend.

  Hi all,
  No doubt SPB is a greatest singer. I am an ardent fan of his. I just wanted to know if there are some songs in which u feel he could have done better in terms of modulations etc. I am sure there could be some songs of SPB like that
  
  
• From: :)) (@ 65.69.45.117) on: Fri Aug 30 13:21:49 EDT 2002
  
  Rathiri nerathil ratchasa peigal star wars -- i heard SPB lost his voice for a whileafter finishing the song
  
  
  Ram.. if it is not obvious... why do you want to do research and find out such songs... In playback singing singer sings the way the MD wants him to sing. He determines even modulation if i am right. I think there is only little scope for improvisation for a singer in playback singing. Correct me if i am wrong.
  :)

  ha ha ha is that so, ha ha ha
  
  let me rephrase it
  
  Hariharan is the worst singer with the worst voice that India had ever produced.. It is not fair to put HH in that place. SPB is greatest ever legend.even HH knows that.
  
  Curses;
  
  that was funny, but I think what outsider meant was the muscical types within India, since rap is west indian, u can not expect SPB sings a rap, nor can you expect M.C.Hammer to sing "shankaraparanam", enna sari thana :))

  Ousider-
  
  Sorry, I hadn't seen your query. Thanks for the reminder in the VJ thread.
  
  Dhaud-1997- was very much mainstream cinema- it was a Ram Gopal Verma film and featured Sunjay Dutt and Urmila.
  
  Reg. KJY's hindi songs in the 80s, I do know much about hfm- but a few I can recollect are:
  
  Sur main akhiyon mein- Sadma
  Dheere dheere- Haysiyath
  Kahaan se aaye-Chashme Badhoor(was it in the early 80s or late 70s?)
  One song in Pathaal Bhairavi-Music by Bappi Lahiri
  
  As I already said, my knowledge of hfm is very limited.

• From: Ranjit (@ 195.92.67.75) on: Tue Sep 3 09:37:57 EDT 2002
  
  Daud was remade into tamil called "ottam", it had two SPB songs and 1 KJY song.

  There was a some Kerala DD related inaguration function where many of our leading singers(70s and 80s) gathered. This was Sep 15 2001.
  SPB and SJ sang Sippi Irukkuthu..from VNS.
  As they finished, SPB began, "mayakkam thanthathu yaar? tamilo..." and concluded "amudhoo??? kannadaasano?" !
  That one gesture alone summed up the nostalgia connected with the event.
  Such spontaneous wit and life, only he can provide to a song.

  I love that song, man, SPB's voice is truly amazing, it goes through certain transformations durings each saranam & pallavi of the songs, SPB is truly an extraodinary super dooper SInger!

  But best singer in India since 1965 is only jayachandran.SPB sings in telgu tamil but he can't sing like jayachandran.

  I liked the last part more where SPB has voiced his true opinions about the current state of TFM:
  
  It has become a fashion to introduce newcomers to sing in a language alien to them to set tunes.
  
  They have no basic knowledge of music, no diligence to learn but are ready for the mike. Some of them go off-key with an equally ignorant director incapable of detection or correction. During our heyday, we too sang in different languages not our own. Yesudas, Janaki, Chitra and myself. But then we make it a point to know what we are singing and learn the language. My fear is that mediocrity might become the order of the future if this trend continues. Creative work is best achieved only in the hands of persons with proper grooming in the field.
  
  I sympathise with the present generation of singers who lack guidance and are floundering. I only wish this purple patch will not last long.

  Raghu -
  
  Thank you for the SPB interview link. I would have missed his true words had you not put it up here.
  I greatly apprecite it. There is so much wisdom in what the man says. I hope people in the film music industry are seriously listing!
