BANGALORE - Legendary Indian singer S. P. Balasubrahmanyam died in a Chennai hospital on Friday after two months of treatment for Covid-19.Balasubrahmanyam, lovingly called SPB in India, recorded over 40,000 songs for films in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Hindi and Malayalam. Often, he cited a Guinness World Record for the largest number of songs recorded.
SPB was often roped in to sing the most powerful and heroic numbers in Tamil superstar Rajnikanth's films and was also the singing voice of Bollywood heartthrob Salman Khan. His tinkling laughs and signature exclamations in between lines became much-adored flourishes. His first playback song in a film was in Telugu, his mother tongue, in 1967. Emi Ee Vintha Moham is a duet with P. Susheela. He broke into the Tamil film industry a few years later with a knockout song in Adimai Penn, which was headlined by megastar and former Tamil Nadu chief minister M. G. Ramachandran.
SPB also did a few cameos, but is best remembered for playing a middle-aged single father in the musical Keladi Kanmani .
