listen to SPB's extreme bass in "shankaraparanam" & "mainey pyar kiya","Hum aap ke khon" then talk abt M.Rafi, SPB has the bassiest voice in IFM!!!
meena;
pls change ur postings to the one below:
"Bala is the legend in IFM (Indian film music)"
+
SPB's legendary voice is the best out of all IFM singers
+
SPB has won more awards than any other singers in IFM, it is a fact!!!

anyway lets discuss abt the Padmashree Dr. SPB;
1) his first song was in a telugu movie some time in 1966, then in tamil "iyyarkai ennum", then the break through to his singing career in "aayiram nilave vaa", since then this legend had never looked back.
2) recording over 40k is an extremley difficult task, which he had overcome with great ease & comfort, that is a miracle!!!
3) most beautiful voice in IFM, which is such a manly voice with great deepnes & bass, which can not be matched by any other singer in India, closest match is DR.balamurali krsihna, not M.rafi, he lacks in bass & manly voice

Pls don't compare nasalists like HH,Shanker Mahadevan, Srinivas, with the legend like SPB, SPB's voice so manly, with great bass & modulation.
SPB sings at high pitches with great ease, which many singers lack of,(except TMS),his modulation, & emotions can never be matched by any other singer in India!
Mano's voice is bad, with a horrible voice, he immitates SPB greatly, although he says that his idol & role model is SPB!!, mano can not modulate, it sounds terrible!!, he is only good for songs like "mukkala mukkabala"!
KJY is also great, but then again he lacks modulation, variety & emotions(although he is extremley good at sad songs).
M.rafi's is also great, but his voice lacks bass & manly, nevertheless he was also great, but not as great as SPB!

the greates tragedy tfm has fallen into(thanks to arr) is the occasional presence of god's voice.
since most the musc directors at preset are copy cats of arr, they also think of not using god's voice. this trend wll go for sometime and tfm will rediscover the god

Raju;
>>of course he is good in tamil music alone! not certainly the "best singer" india has produced...he is just one of the great singers..got it!<<
What is the maening of the above phrase, so if Dr.SPB is not the greatest singer that India had ever produced, then who is the greatest singer in India?
SPB's voice is gift from god!!!!!
his voice is
(1) Divinest voice out of All IFM
(2) Most manly voice in IMF(even though ghantasala also had a manly voice)
(3) Express emotions extremely well (TMS & M.Rafi were also good at this,but they did not have an amazing voice like SPB's voic)
(4) Excellent Modulation, which can not be matched by any other singers in India, even greats like M.rafi & KJY!!!
So raju; What else makes a greates singer then, SPB never just ruled Tamil songs, but entire South indian Languages, even though he was well known in Hindi songs (Maine pyar kiya, saajan, Ek duche kilye, Hum aapke khon, sagaar, ....), he even won national awards for his first hindi songs in "Ek duche kilye" & "maine pyar kiya", what a manly voice in "Dhil deewana bin sachenake maneneaaa", "va ha va ha ram je",
SPB the greatest ever, pls accept the fact & swallow it>

Oh! don't get excited! did he really dominate in all south indian languages! malayalam??? think well before u post!
Did he dominate in hindi?? Of course he recieved a national award there( Even kjy recieved one there! but was not really accepted)...
A singer becomes the "best in India" when he dominates in all indian languages..In that case there is no singer who can be called the BEST....The best alternative is to accept the statement that " INDIA HAS PRODUCED A BUNCH OF GREAT SINGERS LIKE RAFI,KISHORE,SPB,KJY.." the confusion is over right???

mr raju, your logic sounds funny. it is not possible in indian to dominate in all languages as there several languages in india and it is impossible to sing in all languages. you have to see only relative performance and then judge. while doing so, spb is miles away frome the rest.

raju ;
There is no logic in in your posting, it sounds very vague!, there 18 languages in India, no singer can sign every songs in languages, the singer would be dead after couple of months, right?
So pavoroti can not sing in tamil / hindi , now does not mean he is not great?, of course he is!
So if you think that in order to be the best singer in india one havs to sign in all languages?, hahaha, that's shows your lack of music sense & knowledge , I just feel pity for u.
So rafi was not great, cos he never sang in Tamil(hahaha), SPB sang in all Indian languages for your information, No other singer in India had done that, not even M.rafi.
We are talking abt manly & most divinest voice in IFM, which no other singer inluding rafi, lack of!.
Did you know that SPB, broke the record for siging for more than 40,000 songs & recording 17 songs in a day!.
Can you tell me singer in IFM that has done similar achievements.

Lets talk abt our great Uncle SPB, cos he is the greatest singer that india had ever produced!!, his voice is excellent(great bass, manly, sweet, excellent modulation, broke the world record for singing more than 40,000, this guy is musical genius, India is proud to have him!

Once again my statements were not perceived in the right sense....Did i say at any point of time that he is not a " great singer"...
Please read my statements carefully before u mail nonsense!!
I cannot simply accept him to be the "best". Making ooh's and aah's,laughing,or talking while singing cannot be taken as something great....Some people may argue that SPB is the only one who can do this!! infact there were many who had done this!! Singing mainly deals with your sound or ...voice
I have never found his voice to be "mellifluous"....ok! That's it....
For people who adore him ;well and good!! there is nothing wrong in doing that!
I believe that he is one amongst the top 5 best singers India has produced.........

First of all do not use words to Intimidate singers, like "ooh's","aah's", yeah I know that TMS & SPB immitator mano uses this oohs & aahs, but they sound shit.
Have you ever heard spb speaks, it as excellenct as he sings, the voice is truly amazing, SPB is gift from god, just accept that he is the greates singer that India had ever produced!!

Raju, I am very happy to hear your sane views. And agree with you wholeheartedly. SPB is a great singer but still some of the guys here seem to go over the top with their profuse praise. SPB's strongest renditions have always been in Tamil and I presume, Telugu. His hindi renditions always leave me feeling like something is missing. I recently heard him sing in a concert in memory of R.D.Burman and I felt that he butchered almost all the songs (Yeh Shaam Mastani, Kuch na Kaho, Mere Naina and worst of all, Chura Liya). Similarly, his english lines (far and few thankfully) have also been ridiculous. His perfection lies in his Tamil songs (IMO).

//"SPB's strongest renditions have always been in Tamil "//
//"His perfection lies in his Tamil songs (IMO)."//
why does the above not a simple reason as to why spb should be regarded as the best singer India has ever produced.
why should singing in hindi be a requirement? why not test hindi singers based on how they sing tamil songs!
spb has sung tamil, telugu and hindi songs, wherea hfm singers have not done anything in tamil/telugu so spb gets 3/3 and hfm folks get 1/3. and so they loose based on pure results.
plus why was he called to sing those RD burman songs . maybe there was no one better than him?
I think he sings old songs very well. I have seen him sing curaliya and its excellent and so ur biased arguments doesnt wash
