The Golden Era of Dr.IR and Dr.SPB

Rakesh bhai

You do have a point, but I meant was he "Mainly" changes his voice according to actors, if you notice all his songs for Shivaji, SPB brings out 'Gambeera' voice to suit NT, I can not recall many songs where SPB sings "softly" for NT, except (pottu vaitha mugamo, rajaathi varungadi puthiya raaja vai paarungadi ) , just my opinion I may be wrong

I'll stick by that. If you notice the subsequent writeup about Pattakatti Bhairavan songs, SPB just sang them the way they should, none of "for NT only" style.

Of course, the man is also a master mimic artist, if you notice the more comedic songs. Like "Enggenggum Kanden amma" (Ulllasa Paravaigal) was originally meant for Tenggai (he didn't act, his role was taken by VA Moorthy). He did Suruli in one movie, then Kamal's Jappanil Kalyanaraman for Kalyanam (two songs I think), and the most impressive was for Radha Ravi channeling his dad's voice in one Prabhu film (Appan Peechu ketpavan yaaru). How can one forget the opening "Yen jodi manja kuruvi" for the effeminate Janagaraj!
