Hello Sir,
I have been a great fan of tamil film music and I grew up as a kid in Tambaram, Madras listening to songs from tea shops and neighbours' radio (we couldn't afford one on our own then). I was fortunate to be born in 70's (1972 exactly) because I could grow with growing careers of Ilayaraja and yourself. Then it was only film music that interested me until 1987. One evening, a man changed my mind upside down with his powerful voice and drew me to classical music. It was your colleague (can I say that) Mr Yesudas. I became a slave to that voice. And slowly, I started to get interest in classical music (only to a listener level) and now I enjoy every good music, I do not restrict myself only to Yesudas. I listen to Dr Balamurali, Shri Maharajapuram Santhanam. When I listened to you singing recently in New Jersey (your concluding programme) 'Sangeetha Saahithya Samalankruthey', I was deeply touched with your classical practice and effortless maneuver to octaves.

Respected Sir,
My heartiest congratulations to you on being bestowed with much coveted Padmashree Award. It is really a great honour for living legend like you and to the Indian Music Industry. In fact, I personally feel that you should have been bestowed with Bharat Ratna immediately after superb rendition of songs in Shankarabharanam Film and not after such a long gap. You are really beyond any awards. YOU ARE REALLY AN INSTITUTION.
I am sure all your family members must be delighted on this great occasion. My heartiest congratulations to your family members also.
It should be Padmashree has been bestowed with Shri S.P. Balasubramaniam.
