He is the evergreen favourite. A vocalist who is what film distributors would call minimum guarantee - that is, assure you a close to a full house. And he has fans to this day. That is K. J. Yesudoss.
Sabhas still want to decorate him - recently he was given an award by Brahma Gana Sabha with the vice-president of India doing the honors.
And all his concerts this far have sold out.
At Chennai Cultural Academy, the Karnataka Sangha hall in T. Nagar's Habibullah Road was packed - must have held over 1000 people.
Tickets were sold out well before that evening's concert.
And after the main course, as Yesudoss launched into the thukkadas, his fans, standing up, after each piece gave their suggestions; he mulled over them, a bit like an actor, said a few words that evoked low laughter and the song was on. And when it was over, a big round of applause - Malayalam, Sanskrit, Thamizh……he offered what he could till the clock struck 9.15.
The fans rushed to the front , clicked pictures and little ones stepped on the stage and posed. Then they crowded around his car.
Through many Seasons, Yesudoss has commanded a big attendance. And he vibes well with his rasikas.
