He soon became the sought-after singer across industries. Iyarkai Ennum Ilayakanni from Shanti Nilayam (which he had recorded even before Adimai Penn) released in the same year, and there was no looking back for the young singer. Though he recorded his first Tamil song for MS Viswanathan for the unreleased film Hotel Ramba, his Tamil breakthrough came in 1969, in the form of Aayiram Nilave Vaa, composed by KV Mahadevan for MGRвЂ™s Adimai Penn. SPB, who made his singing debut in 1966 with the Telugu film Sri Sri Sri Maryada Ramanna, was the most prolific singer the country has ever seen.

Unfortunately, the acclaimed singerвЂ™s health deteriorated in the last 24 hours and he passed away a few minutes ago, today. In fact, CharanвЂ™s last update, on September 22, said he was making steady progress even though he was on Ecmo/ventilator, and was eager to leave the hospital. While his health had deteriorated during the second week in hospital, he was gradually making progress, with his son, SP Charan diligently updating on his health status. He had then remarked that he was getting admitted mostly вЂњto take restвЂќ. On August 5, SPB, as he was fondly called, announced through a video recording, which he posted on his Face book page, that he had tested positive for COVID-19, and had gotten admitted in a hospital. Legendary singer SP Balasubrahmanyam, who had been undergoing treatment at a private hospital in Chennai after testing positive for COVID-19 during the first week of August, passed away yesterday after a long battle with the coronavirus.
