This from S.P. Balasubramaniam for possible merge. Charles Matthews 08:29, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

S.P. Balasubramanium, the singer par excellence, has many other faces like a good actor,music composer and producer.

His voice has such a tremendous range that it can either make or break a song, if proper care is not taken in making the video. Mohan,the actor, to his credit has so many memorable classics sung by S.P.Bala in his films. Even though Mohan has hanged his boots, his immortal film classics popularly called as 'Mohan Hits' has good number of buyers even after 20 years since the songs were first released. There are two reasons for this sort of demand. First is the very obvious one: the voice of SP Bala. The other being the effortless and stylish rendition which Mohan puts forth,when SP Bala sings the playback. Mohan even takes the stress to alter his body language in accordance with the tempo of SP Bala's voice. The best example one can come across is in the film "ella thirandhathu kadhavu". In the film comes a song "Thedum kan parrvai thavikka" sung by SP Bala. As a whole Mohan has done the acting and lip-sync perfectly. The whole song centres around a search Mohan does for his lover girl,whose face he will be seeing for the very first time. But the girl (Amala) decides to play hide-and-seek with Mohan. This frustrates Mohan very much that he sings "kaladevan theetiya en kaadhal ooviyam...ah..varamale ivelail" thus. The singer SP Bala gives a powerful stress on the interspersing word 'ah' mentioned in the stanza in the previous line. If it were any other actor he would have simply gone through the playback. But Mohan, as always at his best, will give a shuddering movement while SP Bala sings the word 'ah' in agony. The agony in the word is fully made clear by SP Bala by his great voice. It might have been missed while wathcing the video if Mohan hadn't bothered to visualize the agony. Such is Mohan's intricate mastering of the craft to act in songs , when the song is sung by a great singer. Actors who aren't adept in this either get unnoticed along with the song,even if the song is a good one.

Few other actors like Rajnikanth, Kamal Hassan, Karthick, Nagarjuna etc. have utilized the great voice of SP Bala, with thier good acting skills. Mohan, ofcourse, tops the list.

[edit] Biography assessment rating comment

The article may be improved by following the WikiProject Biography 11 easy steps to producing at least a B article. -- Sdsouza 19:08, 17 March 2007 (UTC) According to wikipedia, as of today, K. J. Yesudas has sung 40,000 songs whilst SPB has 39,000 to his credit. Then how come SPB has sung most number of songs and his name is going to appear in record books? Something wrong with my basic maths?
