Did anyone of u guys listen to 'Ra Ra Raja kumara' from Ennavale by SAR? At first, I thought it was SPB Charan, who has a youthful SPB voice, but found out at Raaga.com, that its sung by someone called Rajesh. I felt he is trying to emulate SPB style of singing. But nevertheless, has a sweet voice...anyone has info on him?

Rajesh was introduced by Sandeep chowta in 'ninne pelladatha'. He tries to imitate SPB and does a better job than Mano in this genre.'eto veLLi poindhi manasu' from NP is a very good song by Rajesh.
In tamil he made his debut in 'thuLLadha manamum thuLLum'

Rajesh has also sung most of the songs in Sandeep Chowta's another telugu film, Prema Katha, directed by Ram Gopal Verma. Sings mostly like a SPB clone but pretty versatile.
But I'd really not rate him more than Mano. Mano is far better and has much more experience in the industry. On that note, I was woindering about one thing.
IR used SPB in Geetanjali while it was Mano who did every song in its tamil version, Idhayathai Thirudathey. Any specific reason attributed to this?

Karthik,
I had the same question :-) Another example is 'Indiradu Chandiradu' - SPB did all the telugu songs and Mano, all tamil songs.,
I saw one SPB Interview in DoorDarshan two days back, he was mentioning about this Mayor song in Indiradu ... and told that after singing that 'thoNdai suththamaa kattip poochchu' :-) Probably thats why he refused to sing that in tamil ????

SPB, Mano, Arulmozhi, Napolean, SPB Charan, and many many more etc., etc., who are replica singers like SPB. Infact, some do it far better and makes us think whether it is SPB who is singing.
Rajesh is yet another in that clout. This monotony of voice is abundant with SPB, whereas TMS or Sirkazhi or PBS had a clear identity of their voices, which even his followers couldnt match. They can be easily made out. That is the reason why Rajesh is mistaken for SPB. He has certainly done a good job.

Jambu,
AruNmozhi = Napolean :-)
Hmm, But I don't think he tried to replicate SPB, IMO, His voice is a bit different - like a mixture of KJY and PBS.

i love rajesh krishnan for his deep voice. i don't think that he imitates SPB. his trained voice is good especially for bhajans and gazhals.i wish to see what he looks like. but there is not even a single snap of him in the net.
i loved him for the bhajan he has sung in the film bollywood hollywood. i've become addicted to that song. i listen to it atleast 20 times a day.

He sings a lot in Telugu nowadays particularly for R.P.Patnaik who is the leading MD in telugu. by the way, this guy R.P.Patnaik never uses SPB which is very rare in telugu.

Rajesh started as a track singer in Kannada and has sung thousands of songs. He started playback singing in Kannada and then is now the leading male playback singer in Kannada. He also sings in Telugu, Tamil and Hindi but not many. He has won the Karnataka state award for best male playback singer several times. He is currently starring in a Telugu movie "Ore Nee Prema Bangaram" playing the lead role.
I have attached a link for more details on the movie with some stills.
It is true that he is the great grand son of music legend G.Ramanathan.

Yes i found the site after a quick search, oh yea i do know rajesh as my cousin s/o Meera & NNK Muurthy. I remember his childhood days when he used to play the violin and also practice his singing those early mornings and then he used to sing this one song i remember from " Hoga Tumse Pyara Kaun Humko to Tumse Hai Kanchi Pyaar..." I think if rajesh does see this posting he wil probably know the song in a jiffy.... I wish him all the best with his acting career.

The bhajan in Bollywood Hollywood displays only a fraction of Rajesh's versatility in terms of voice modulation. I still remember his first ever hindi pop album which had the first song as "aa jaa, raat hai meherbaan" I attended that recording as a kid...seems like a dream now!!!

He entered TFM when SPB was at his peak and hence couldn't make a name. He is an awesome singer! It is a pity we missed him. Sad because, he is a true Tamizhan!
