Ace singer S P Balasubramaniam will be honoured with the P Susheela National Award at a grand function in Chennai on November 14, 2009. The award to be presented by Dr P Susheela Trust will carry a citation and Rs one lakh.
Announcing this to reporters, the melody queen said, “'SPB is a bundle of talent. I had the good fortune of singing several songs with him. He has rendered more than 40,000 songs in most Indian languages and the selection committee which includes singers Balasaraswathy, Jamuna Rani and actress Jamuna chose him unanimously.”
Susheela said a grand musical show has been arranged on November 14- the award night- at Wesley Grounds in Chennai. Legends in the world of music including MSV, Balamurali Krishna, Illayaraja, S Janaki, P B Srinivas, Vani Jayaram among others will participate and perform.
Proceeds from the show would be given away for the flood relief in Andhra Pradesh, she said and added plans are on to encourage young talents from next year. “Every year a couple of young singers would be chosen and conferred the honour.” Susheela also said veteran music composer M S Viswanathan deserves to be honoured with Dada Saheb Phalke Award. “Stalwarts like M S Viswanathan and T M Soundararajan deserve greater accolades. They were simply the best people in music.”
