Here's sharing my list of 20 favorite songs sung by the legendary singer who has passed away but shall remain immortal because of his innumerable songs. Best of SPB compilations that I came actually last night mostly included his Tamil/Telugu hits as they far outnumber those sung in Hindi. But this is exclusively for the listeners who do not follow the regional languages, a limited number of songs in Hindi (from Bollywood film soundtracks, some being dubbed versions of his Tamil/Telugu hits) that showcase the late singer's versatility and range.
