  Well, SP Baala Subraamanyam in men and S. Jaanaki in women are the most resourceful vocalists in southern India, that is obvious to every listener. But their duets, hmmm.

  SPB+SJ & SPB+PS combo was really a treat to the ear, SPB + KSC was not bad either, but currently there is no one to replace these singers!

  Jaanaki had a rare distinction.
  She remained the topmost female singer in all the four languages from 1983 to 1987.

  Combination of SPB+SJ is a powerful combination and a treat to us. SJ has an edge over SPB in such combintion. No one can match their vocal strengths.

  SJ has an edge over SPB-This is evident in most of the duets where she dominates in her delivery and overshadows SPB
  
  e.g.song-Anthi mazai pozigirathu-ups and downs
  ninaithalle inikkum-humming

  SPB, Chitra IMO is a better pair than SPB, Janaki :)...well comparing the telugu version of sundhari from dalapathi to the tamil version and I think chitra does a better job... all in my opinion of course.

  Kannada was the first language to be dominated by S. Jaanaki. She had
  been singing for films for a decade-and-a-half, yet was far away from
  her due place. About 1975 she had become the most important and the
  most prolific female singer in Kannada. After this belated recognition,
  doors of success openened for her one after another. Second language
  to be conquered by her was Malayaalam, in approximately 1978. However,
  in the other two southern languages she met a stiff resistance for the
  top slot. In Tamil, P Susheela had been ruling for almost two decades.
  Jaanaki had been a far second for quite some time. In the late 70's
  S Jaanaki closed up the gap, both in numbers and importance, however,
  Susheela's reign was unrelenting. Only about 1981, did Jaanaki surpass
  P. Susheela to become the topmost female singer in Taamil. Telugu
  proved to be even more of a challenge. Even untill mid 70's SJ was a
  very far flung runner-up to P Susheela. So complete had been the rule
  of PS in Telugu that for almost two decades there had been no other
  notable female singer. By the end of 70's Susheela was still way ahead
  of SJ. Things, however, started changing with the arrival of new
  decade. Jaanaki was gaining very rapidly in Telugu, whereas PS was
  losing very slowly. In 81 and 82, both the prolific singers were almost
  equal in every respect, importance as well as number of songs. Only in
  1983 did Jaanaki take over from P. Susheela. Surprisingly, PS was still
  giving her tough time, and was dangerously close at heels behind her.
  This situation lasted untill 1984. Only then S Jaanaki's top slot in
  Telugoo was secure.
  Thus, from 83 onwards, S Jaanaki remained the most important singer in
  all the four languages, for a few years.
  Ironically and interestingly, it was Kannada again that precipitated the
  downfall of her career. Untill 1987 she had a complete sway over Kannada
  film music. But in 88, Chitra emerged from almost nowhere, and toppled
  S. Jaanaki's reign, to become the most important female singer in Kannada.
  For 1988, most probably S.J. was still most prolific, but in importance
  Chitra had taken over from her. This development led to the fact that
  by 90-91 Jaanaki had almost completely vanished from Kannada music.
  Telugu was wrested from her in 1989. Here too, like in Kannada, she
  vanished completely by 1991-92. Malayaalam was also absconded by her in
  1989. She had concentrated all her attention to Taamil songs. SJ kept her
  top position in Tamil until 1993. In the last few years of her rule in
  Taamil, S. Jaanaki had a tough competition for the top pedestal in the
  form of K.S.C.

  s. janaki is the equally talented singer in the south compared to Lata Mangeskar in the North. Even malasia vasudevan has admitted that singing with janaki is difficult and they had sing very carefully to keep pace with her voice. the voice of sj is a great gift for music industry. she has the talent to portray versatality in her voice easily. She is really good still. And ARR has also used her once in a way and has given very good songs to her.

  s.janaki had done some rare songs.
  she had sung playback for playback singers also.
  1.for s.p.sailaja( salanagi oli,oom namachivaaya..)
  2.for l.r.eswari(pudhu manidhan,nilavu...).
  this previlage is not been achieved by any other playback singers in the world!

  S Janaki is great singer, there is no compareble for her voice. She is adventures women too. Most of the singer will take care of their voice but she has tried in many voices like child, old lady and amazing in Man's voice.... I never seen a singer like this.....

  DEar Outsider,
  One correction in your Statement,
  SJ was top in KFM from 1960 and onwards till 1990 - 92. And also as per my knowledge SJ was the top in mFM frm Mid 1960s.

  My fav golden 5 SPB-SJ songs in my personal collection :
  1. Pala machham konda- slightly erotic song. But I like this song for its rythm, bgms, singers.
  2. Vaanengum thanga vinmeengal -moondram pirai
  3. vaa vaa kanmani from film Innisai mazhai
  4. Oru naal unnodu from film Uravaadum nenjam
  5. seer kondu vaa- from naan paadum padal.

  The SPB-SJ combo was truly a fantastic combination in the history of SI film music. Even the SPB-PS combo was not bad but could not match the above pair.
  The Lata-Rafi pair and Asha-Rafi pair were by far the best in the North and the Lata-Rafi pair is probably the best ever in any form of music......Rafi-Suman K. was also a good pair.......this reminds me of one song by the Rafi-Asha combo, and Rafi's rendering of this song moved SPB to tears........"deewana hua badal" from "Kashmir Ki Kali".
  
  Cheers
