Yesterday was singer KJ Yesudas’ birthday. He turned 72. It is known that Yesudas sang many songs in Telugu. Mohan Babu got glory for using his voice for songs in his films.
Mohan Babu and Yesudas are identified with each other by Telugus. ‘Kadile Kalama..’,’ Kunthi Kumaari..’, ‘Boyavaani vetuku..’ and many other super hit numbers happened due to the combination of Mohan Babu and Yesudas.
It is true that Mohan Babu brought mass following for Yesudas in Andhra Pardesh and Mohan Babu got glory for using Yesudas voice for himself.
But from many years, it is observed that Mohan Babu has been ignoring Yesudas.
Many singers and small orchestra groups are attempting to honor Yesudas on his birthday with small concerts. But if Mohan Babu wishes, he can do something very big. His presence in such events also bring huge aura. It is also true that even Yesudas makes his presence if Mohan Babu invites. Finally, Telugu audience will know about the event and make it big success with their patronizing by attending in person. TV channels come forward to buy rights of such great event.
Despite there is an emotional (Mohan Babu loves and respects Yesudas) and commercial benefit (by selling the event to TV channels), don’t know why Mohan Babu has bene ignoring to honor Yesudas in AP.
