Veteran playback singer PB Srinivas passes away


Chennai: Veteran playback singer PB Srinivas passed away earlier on Sunday. 82-year-old Srinivas had lent his voice in all four South Indian languages besides Hindi.
The octogenarian was the playback singer of Kannada superstar Rajkumar and Tamil veteran Gemini Ganesan. Srinivas is survived by two sons and daughter.
In fact, it is believed that Srinivas's gentle voice suited Ganesan best. The duo produced some of the most memorable Tamil songs together including 'Kaalangalil Aval Vasantham' and 'Mayakkama Thayakkama' among many others.
A native of Andhra Pradesh, his last song was in Tamil film 'Ayirathil Oruvan' in 2010. Srinivas was honoured with various awards including the state government's Kalaimamani Award.
