Exclusive Interview on K J Yesudas with Manorama news P 4

Kattassery Joseph Yesudas (born January 10, 1940) is one of the most eminent Indian classical musicians and leading Playback singer of film songs in many Indian languages.
K.J. Yesudas was born in Fort Kochi, Kerala to Augustine Joseph and Elizabeth Joseph. His father, who was his first guru (teacher), was a well-known Malayalam classical musician and stage actor of his time. He joined the Music Academy in Thrippunithura and won a gold medal for music at a local competition in Fort Kochi at age seven. He was trained by Chembai Vaidyanatha Bhagavatar who was one of the senior most performers of the time in Classical Music, and this training, abruptly cut short by the guru's demise in 1974, still stood him in good stead. He was scoffed at for being a Christian learning Carnatic music. Although a Carnatic expert he also learned Hindustani Music. His voice lends itself well to both Indian classical, devotional, and popular songs. He has recorded songs for many languages including Hindi, Malayalam, Tamil, Kannada, Telugu, Bengali, Gujarati, Oriya, Marathi, Punjabi, Sanskrit, Tulu, Russian, Arabic, Latin, and English through his long career. In his haydays, he was known as the Jim Reeves of South India. Fans term his voice as nothing short of "divine".
