P. Susheela Golden Nite at Chowdiah Hall

EFT Report, Bangalore: Melody Queen P. Susheela. The very name would evoke memories of many a number rendered in her rich, reverberating and resonant voice to the fans of South Indian movies, be it Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada or even Sinhalese. With her mellifluous voice she has breathed life into thousands of lyrics, bringing out the right emotion lying under each word and making the song waft straight into the listener’s heart. A point to be noted here is the care with which she pronounced the words, though she sang in different languages. That is something we are not able to see in most of our present day singers.

P. Susheela Golden Nite

Words are the victims of rather constricted rhythms and contorted beats, compacted and deformed between the tongue and the teeth. But it was Susheela’s school to render them with effortless ease, as they are pronounced by the people speaking each individual language in which the lyrics are written. Susheela started way back in 1952. She was the recipient of the national award for best singer in the years 1969, 1971, 1977, 1982 and 1983. At the state level, both Tamil Nadu and Kerala have honored her with several awards. The Tamil Nadu Government recognized her genius in the years 1968, 1980, 1981, 1989 and 1991 with various titles, prizes and awards.
