This year has seen a lot of unfortunate events. And  news of SP Balasubramaniam's demise that I have heard just w makes me even sder. He was an amazingly versatile artiste. His first songs after South, in Hindi with Lakshmikant Pyarelal were amazing. His duet with Lata didi was very memorable. Balu sang a lot of songs for RD Burman and was his friend. He h helped me a lot with my Tamil pronunciation in my song for Ilayaraja. loss of such a great artiste has left a huge void in music world. I wish his soul to rest in peace in this musical journey to be one with almighty. RIP Balu.
