talent crashes walls of narrow boundaries.

 K.J. Yesudoss - wish him a very happy birthday and a long life with a wonderful voice.



What a golden voice!

His voice is an inspiration to many as to how to do voice modulation. 

He has been enormously under utilised by film industry with some weird argument that he does not have versatility and variety like someone else.

Kishore was more versatile than the rest but  even today if one wants a purely meditative soulful music beyond mere entertainment or lyrical splendor, a K. L. Saigal, a Mukesh, some of Rafi have greater impact.

He weaved a totally new and purely original pattern of rendering ' Shirasagara Sayana', ' Pavana Guru '. When in great mood in the Kalpana swaras were also brilliant. He  brought out the complete essence of Vagadeeswai raga through ' Vani vagadeeswari', and his own composition bringing out  Chembai's style.


His songs in His Highness Abdullah are immortalized.

Of course his bhava is unquestionable when rendering Guruvayurappan and Iyyapan songs.


His rendering of Amma endru azhaikadha uyir illaiye he demonstrates how to glide with ease at different octaves.


He is above all one trend setter who manifested that one cannot take out in-born talent conducive to native or regional culture irrespective of the religion in which one is born.

Fortunately, art, literature, science and technology in recent centuries, at least in some parts of the world, permeates into human spirit to help living and life a pleasant journey, undeterred by either religious restrictions, political suppression, social pressures and irrelevant ideological extrapolation.

The masters and ambassadors of such tools of communication and utility are treasures in a world of negativity and noise.

As they say natural talent crashes walls of narrow boundaries.
