The most powerful Playback Singer of Kerala is our Gana Gandharvan Dr. K J Yesudas . Yesudas is called " Gana Gandharvan " because no one is there to sing as beautiful as him. Dr. K J Yesudas have sung more than 35,000 songs . He emerged as a popular singer during the time of Prem Nazir as his voice suited Nazir more accuratetly.
Yesudas got both Padma Sri and Padma Bhushan awards. He is a mastro in Classical music , light music and in film Songs . His songs are uncountable and all songs were super hit.
Dr. KJ Yesudas started singing for Nazir , Madhu , etc and even continue to sing for new generation actors like Pritviraj , Mohanlal and Mammooty etc etc..
A mallu song is incomplete without his touch. His contribution to Malayalam filim industry is remarkable.
He sang with other female singers like Susheela , Janaki , K S Chitra , Sujatha etc... Yesudas acted in one movie song as a singer (Song: Ramzan Nilavotta Pennalle....).
K J Yesudas sang songs in almost all languages like Malayalam , Hindi , Tamil , Kannada etc..
Son of Yesudas , Vijay Yesudas is also a good singer .
All Mallus (Malayalies) wish he may sang more songs so that we can enjoy his sweet and poweful sound.
Thank You.
