A Tribute to Padmasri Dr S.P.B

A Tribute to Padmasri Dr S.P.B Lyrics & Chords

Modesty is the gentle art of enhancing your charm by pretending not to be aware of it. A modest and generous artiste will surely go places… Such people with genuine modesty without any pretension will never have a fall or even cling or rappel to retain/regain the spot… Its very rare that we find people with these attributes and one such rare personality is our ‘Paadum Nila’, Dr SPB… He is truly an embodiment of modesty… A soft-natured gentleman still reigning the play-back singing territory even after his son has got introduced as a PB singer… He was born on the 4th of June, 1946… At times, I grumble God for being very biased in blessing only few… Having done with the complaint, I also thank him the next moment for bestowing me the chance to listen to this genius… I still couldn’t believe how he sings without putting any effort… Or does his singing get projected as an effortless child’s play?? Whatsoever, for any aspiring singer, he will be an inspiration for sure… Hail Balu sir!!!! Wishing and praying God to keep him fit to rule to continue singing…

I was expecting many dedications/tributes to this veteran on the 4th of June as he celebrated his b’day on friday but I couldnt find any… So thought of doing it myself after having many hours of jousting session with my throat… It was reluctant to singing… But I managed somehow to render this master-piece by Shri MSV leaving stamps at few places as how my singing has got reprimanded by my unyielding throat… Totally exhausted after trying to render this for 2 hours… :-( Such a difficult number to reproduce though it seems easy… Pointers are expected and Would appreciate your time and comments as always…

Song – Raagangal 16.

Lyrics – Kaviarasu Kannadasan.

An awesome song to pick First of all.
And you are right, God is really biased by giving him such as many talents he wanted to give. He is an actor, Singer, Music Director and a Good Man too.

What an awesome voice he has and still can’t think how he could sing effortlessly. This man is a genius who has crossed 33000 songs in a short span. hmmmmm (Perumoochu thaan )What a record.

And it is so nice of you to dedicate a song for him On his birthday. May God bless him.
Happy Birthday SPB sir.

Raj about your singing….eppa parthaalum nalla iruku nalla iruku solli bore adichchuruchchu. :( vera enna solradhu nnu theriyala. Lovely singing as usual.
Loved it.

Vishnu/ Roshine/ Neil/ Shriki/ Ramya/ Srivi – Thanks all for sparing ur time in listening to this rendition… I desperately wanted to cover this as I couldn’t see any posts on SPB’s b’day… So tried to cover this in the limited time available… My attempts soared to 25 takes to try this in a single stretch, completely making me go fatigued… After having done with the song, I bumped up the gain of my vocals finding some chirping sounds of birds picked up with the initial alaap… I was frustrated and could manage only with this output… :-( I myself not happy with the output but having worked for nearly 2 hours with a cracked voice, I wanted to post this as postponing this would surely turn haywire… Thanks for bearing with me…
Thanks & Regards,

Dear Raj, if this was your performance with a cracked voice, I wonder how it would have been if your voice was good like always. Mind blowing singing. flawless rendition. if the voices were not different, who’d know who sang which one. Awesome. Added to favs. Take care.

Raj … very delicately handled and hats off for singing this tribute to SPB. Despite your tiring voice you did extremely well and your nuances were as close to the original as is humanly possibly I think!. Appreciate the superlative effort in your delicate voice and really it did touch a nerve or two!.

What did come to the fore in my mind through this rendition of yours is the subject of ‘Voice Balance’ as I would like to call it. In male voices the qualities for a superlative balance would include timbre, sweetness, malleability, preciseness and smoothness of pitch, enigmatic nuances, robustness, macho-ness, heart-felt lyrics to name the main ones. It is only a very few that are gifted with all, like the Great & Modest One & Only you chose to lay tribute to, and what a grand effort this has been!. What I heard as well is the modesty of your voice that pushed its gifted attributes to the fore, rather than trying for something that is not a gifted quality. This is a very subtle point in discovering one’s own Voice Balance!. The outcome should be a natural and a genuine one in line with your gifted voice attributes. I think you achieved that in this song and quite honestly I did not miss SPB’s macho-ness etc. in this rendition of yours. It was sweet as a jackfruit from your musical tree (the key word here being ‘your’) and I am sure more of these will drop down for us to enjoy!.

Excellent tribute!.

Talaivaa… Great rendition!!!

I wonder how u think of songs to render. Unique selections…… Most of us will pick songs which most of us would have listened to… But, u are great!! Awesome song selections…. U have sung extreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeemly well…

Anna… 2 pointers… Subbudu naan….

- Mix – Either increase ur voice track volume a bit/Reduce track volume a bit.

- Lower registers were not strong…. Mine is not too strong either…. I am working on it. Just thought I’ll mention. I understand that singing continuously for almost 2 hours affects the strength of the voice…….

Liked Talaivaa!!!

Murali Venkatraman said

This is a song that lesser people dread to attempt. SPB romped like an elephant all through the song stamping his class on every sangathi. You have had a great deal of success in reproducing the sangathis in a clear and crisp way without any averaging.

You have also displayed very good breath control : for example : you have sung 2:29 to 2:39 in one go. It is not easy at all. good job !

Your subtle transition to falsettos in first “raaga bhavangaL” tells me you understand when to transition from real to falsetto voice without losing the charm in either arena. And ins second “raaga bhaavangaL” you have displayed an excellent grasp on sangathis and notes. “Idaiyaada vaLaiyaada” and “idhamaana veENai” are other places I really savored.

There is some room for imrpovement : first “mEni thaan kooda” – notice how SPB emphasizes Rajni’s eyes feasting on beautiful Madhavi. Subtle punches like these catapult this song to a plane of higher taste. You may also want to incorporate such niceties.

Impressed !

Raj: Lovely singing and a nice song pick once again. Liked the soft singing and sangathis. I just noticed that the alaap in the beginning with a different twist was the start of “udhaya geetham paaduven” – I guess it is the same raaga?? and it is interesting that one is composed as a happy song and the other one is set to a sad tone. Sorry to digress but liked your rendition and faving it.

My Dear Raj,
Wah Re Wah ! Kalakkeettengalay !
LOVED this beautiful rendition in your golden voice with lots of expressions !
Very difficult song of SPBJi to cover !
As you have rightly pointed out, SPBJi, besides being one of the Best Playback Singers of India, is the personification of modesty & true humbleness !
I know this well since GOD had given me the opportunity of being with him while he was here
in Thiruvananthapuram for a programme !
I was also fortunate & GOD-blessed to learn a lot of things especially about good music and modesty/humbleness from both SPBJi & also from MSVJi during his TVM visit !
Both of them are Great Musicians and also Great Human beings !
LOVED your perfect rendition & added to my favourites !
Thanks for sharing this special tribute to the Legend !
VAAZHKA SPBJi ! VAAZHKA MSVJi !
VAAZHGA RAJ ! VAAZHKA MUZIBOO !

Cheers !
GOD Bless !
Loving Best Wishes,
Thinkal Govind Kumar.
