Having dominated the music landscape of South India for about six decades, he left his indelible mark.Fondly called 'Gana Gandharv' by countless admirers, Balu was a natural phenomenon. What he leaves behind are not just his over-40,000 songs in 16 Indian languages but innumerable Shishyas (students), well-groomed under his guidance through the Paadutaa Tiyyagaa, Paadalani Vundi and Swaraabhishekam programmes on popular TV channels. He brought out the latent talent in many in the younger generation, even though he himself did not have a formal learning in music. In the Telugu film 'O Papa Lali', he sang a song without break. In February 1981, he had set an all time record by singing 21 songs in a single day.
Popular for the unique drama in his voice, SP developed a command over different modulations. Known for his humble conduct,
He was fluent in Telugu (mother tongue), Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam and Hindi, and preferred to converse with others in the language they were comfortable with. He sang songs even in languages which have no script.
Born on June 4, 1946, at Konetammapet in Nellore district of then Madras Presidency, SP’s family had Telugu origins. His father, SP Sambamurthy, was an exponent of Harikatha. He took keen interest in learning instruments but had no plans of making a career in music. Balu used to participate in his father's Harikatha programmes. He enrolled at JNTU College of Engineering, Anantapur, dreaming of landing a job in the government as an engineer.
His mother, Shakuntalamma, passed away in February last year. His sister, SP Sailaja, is also a popular playback singer.

Last year, as if he knew he was nearing death, Balu gifted his ancestral house in Nellore to Kanchi Peetham for running a vedic school.
He made an accidental entry into playback singing. A college friend of SP entered his name in a light music competition in 1963-64 and he went on to win the contest. At another competition, music director SP Kodandapani asked for an audition and was impressed by the budding singer’s talent. A vocal fold nodule in 1989 had threatened SP’s career. Doctors said he could either stop singing or risk a surgery with the danger of damaging his voice forever. Despite the risks, he went for it and emerged stronger.

He had very close friendship with several music stalwarts.
Subrahmanyam had trained in classical singing but it was no bar for him in quickly learning the nuances and adopting himself to work with tough composers like MS Viswanathan during the early days of his career.
SP received Padma Sri (2001) and Padma Bhushan (2011). He won the first national award in 1980 for 'Sankarabharanam'. The next year saw him foraying into Hindi films and won the national award for his very first song in Hindi, 'Tere Mere Beech Mein, from K Balachander’s '

In 'Keladi Kanmani' (1990), directed by Vsanth, SP played the role of a widower with an impressive singing talent. It became a huge hit, successfully running for 285 days in Tamil Nadu theaters. 'Midhunam', with only two characters which portrayed a wife and husband in their later stages, was one of the super hit movies Balu had acted in. He got a Nandi for this.

But both the projects did not happen. The storyline was also discussed with Malayalam actor Suresh Gopi.[8] Later, after the confirmation from Kalyan, it was finalised to make in Telugu with Pawan Kalyan .

The film's release faced a minor roadblock in the form of its title.[17][dead link] The film critic from NDTV warned the audience by saying 'watch the film at your own risk. It's a big-budget film with a solid casting. Just laugh at the poorly directed action scenes.'[18] The background score by A. R. Rahman and camerawork by Binod Pradhan were appreciated and many critics rated them as the highlight of the movie.[citation needed]
Its Nizam rights were sold to Geetha Arts for ₹12 crore (US$1.7 million) which is a record sum.[6]
