Balu was given the first chance by his guru SP Kodandapani in \u2018Sri Sri Sri Maryada Ramanna\u2019 which was produced by veteran comedian Padmanabham. It was written by Veturi with lyrics \u2018Yemi Ee Vinta Mooham\u2019 and composed in Yaman, Kalyani and Bhageswari ragas.<\/p>\n<p>Though Balu thought it was a solo song, he came to know that he had to share the microphone with three other singers after reaching the recording venue. He sang it along with P Suseela, Kalyanam Raghuramaiah and PB Sreenivas. It was recorded on December 15th, 1966 by recordist Swaminathan in Vijaya Gardens. Even though Balu was a bit disappointed about this experience, it paved the road for his success in the future.<\/p>\n<p>SP Balasubrahmanyam sang his last song in a film called \u2018Palasa 1978\u2019 under the music direction of Raghu Kunche. Its lyrics \u2018Oo sogasari priyalahiri\u2019 reminds us of a vintage track. Balu sang it along with Vadisaleru Baby. \u2018Palasa 1978\u2019 was screened many times in Ramanaidu Preview theatre and those who saw it thought it would act as a breaker for the forward movement of the story. Director Karuna Kumar and composer Raghu Kunche were convinced, and made to remove the song from the film. Raghu said it was a privilege for him to compose the last song sung by SP Balu and felt bad about the circumstances that led to its removal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No one can believe that the first and last songs of the greatest Indian singer S.P Balasubrahmanyam turned out to be bitter experiences.
