Singer Asha Bhosle, who has worked with SPB, remembered the time he helped her with Tamil pronunciation for the song she was recording.
In a statement, Asha said, “This year has seen a lot of unfortunate events. And the news of SP Balasubramaniam’s demise that I have heard just now makes me even sadder. He was an amazingly versatile artiste.
His first songs in Hindi with Lakshmikant Pyarelal were amazing. His duet with Lata (Mangeshkar) didi was very memorable. Balu sang a lot of songs for RD Burman and was his friend.”
Talking about the time SPB helped her, Asha said, “He had helped me a lot with my Tamil pronunciation in my song for Ilayaraja. The loss of such a great artiste has left a huge void in the music world. I wish his soul to rest in peace in this musical journey to be one with the almighty. RIP Balu.”
