I have played for him but never received an acknowledgement from him. The maestro is a difficult person to deal with. Violinist Kalyanasundaram is all in praise of SPB for breaking the ice. He vociferously supported SPB and lashed out at his brother for having restrictions and insisting on royalty. One person who stood out in the running feud was Gangai Amaran. Those days, none dared to leak industry secrets, but now because of social media nothing escapes the public eye," says Ram. The fight between the two is not new, they have had their differences in the past and that’s how singer Mano came in. If Raaja became god of music in the Tamil industry, SPB should be given equal credit for his growth and vice-versa. Their coming together couldn’t have been at a better moment," says film historian and actor Mohan Ram. Though SPB was a beginner, he spoke about the brothers to directors and producers he met during his singing sessions. "During the 1970s, it was not easy to enter films.
It was SPB who drove Ilaiyaraaja and Gangai Amaran on his scooter and introduced them to filmmakers. By breaking the ice, both have shown that what is important is music and not personal ego and anger." Though there have been problems between the duo before, it had never been this long or bitter as their friendship dates to the early 1970s, when the Pavalar brothers were struggling to enter tinsel town.
Financial aid is the need of the hour as many families are dependent on it. We are doing the show to help the singers’ union association. "This is the best news for the music industry and for me. Singer Mano blamed social media for magnifying the problems.
Allegations and counter-allegations flew thick and fast and music lovers watched the entire drama with disappointment and dismay. What began as a small issue blew out of proportion, after SPB performed in the US without paying royalty to the maestro. The best birthday gift for the composer who plans to hold a show with his favourite artists - SPB, Yesudas, Mano and Usha Uthup. They will come together at a concert on June 2. Ilayaraja before coming to the film industry, used to play harmonium and guitar for SBP when he used to tour villages and districts for concerts.Chennai: Ilaiyaraaja may have composed "Poda ellam vitu thallu pazhasai ellam suttu thallu puthusa ippa porandhomunu ennikollada doi" (Leave everything, burn old thoughts just think we were born today) for ‘Thalapathi’ as just another number but the words still hold good for the maestro and singer S P Balasubrahmanyam who have patched up after months of bitterness. SPB in the comment section said that he will respond legally to the notice.īalasubrahmanyam and Ilaiyaraaja have known each other for decades. I don't know why now when we started our US tour," SPB wrote on his Facebook page. "My Son designed this world tour and we kick started this SPB50 concert tour in August in Toronto, then we performed in Russia, Srilanka, Malaysia, Singapore, Dubai and did lots of shows in India too. Let me say, I am ignorant of these legalities. "Couple of days back, an Attorney representing Shri.Iliaya Raja, sent legal notices to me, Smt.Chithra, Charan, organisers of the concerts in different cities and the managements of all the venues, which says that we are not supposed to perform compositions of Shri.Iliayaraja without his permission, if so, it is breaking the copyright law and have to pay huge financial penalties and face legal action. His tone, however, reflected that prominent singer was disappointed that Ilaiyaraaja did not tell him about the issue before the start of his US tour. Responding to the legal notice, SP Balasubrahmanyam said that he will abide by the copyright law. Balasubrahmanyam is currently on his SPB 50 tour. In a rather, shocking development that has left several fans of both SP Balasubrahmanyam and music maestro Ilayaraja confused, the latter has sent a legal notice to SP Balasubrahmanyam, Chitra and Charanlasubrahmanyam forbidding them from singing any of songs composed by the music director without his permission.īalasubrahmanyam shared the news about the legal notice on his Facebook page.
