Ganagandharvan Dr. K J Yesudas celebrates his 70th birthday on 10th January 2010. Lovers of Dasettan’s music celebrated the sapthathy (70th birthday) in separate functions held at Thiruvananthapuram, Kochi and the United States.
Sahshi Tharoor presented a Veena as a birthday gift on behalf of Swaralaya in the celebration held at Thiruvananthapuram. Yesudas shared his fond memories about Thiruvananthapuram in the meeting. Earlier in the US a music performance by 70 artists symbolizing the sapthathy was presented before him.
In a simple function held at Kochi, K J Yesudas donated 70 spectacles to the poor. Yesudas sung more than 40,000 songs in various languages. Yesudas was conferred Padma Bhushan by Government of India in 2002.
