SP Balu was one of the several stalwarts to paid homage to the great singer, whose contribution, particularly to the emergence of Annamayya Sankeerthanulu to mainstream, to music is unparalleled. "Sangeetha Kalanidhi, Mahaa Gaayaka, Dr. Nedunoori Krishnamurthy (87), left us all to reach the abode of Maa Saraswathi, in the early hours. His service to Sampradaaya Sangeetha, particularly his efforts to bring Annamayya Sankeerthanas to the main stream of classical Music is exemplary. I, along with his millions of Bhakthaas, bow my head in reverence," SP Balu said.
