Usha Uthup’s Journey From Nightclub Singer To Legend

Usha Uthup may not have got many chances to sing for Hindi films, but music gave her the best things in life. In 2013, she shared her story in her own inimitable manner at an INKtalks event. Watch more here: / @inktalksdirector

Break the stereotype: we don't need only soft calm female playback singer

[@akshat4311]

Rightly said🙌

[@dreamtaylorsversion5525]

Very true

[@drd.n4695]

A very suave woman of Tamil heritage. Love her baritone!

[@rishabhrox1]

@@drd.n4695 Not Baritone, but Contralto. Baritone is a male voice type....Usha mam is India's rare contralto, a sultry, butter smooth androgynous voice. ❤️

I hate to say this but she is the most underrated singer in India I feel such a talented lady 😔

ikkkr... she's so charismatic

[@LoveLove-fp2rn]

She's incredibly underrated. I feel like if she was born in today's generation, she would've been so much bigger.

[@akhilaginhotri4410]

The way she carries herself in traditional attire and not going fall for Western attire to be successful. And being vocal for her ideals is the best thing

[@luckydude3764]

She is in her 70's . What do u expect ?

[@shebingeorge4482]

She is the last true embodiment of pop music. Salute to you usha ji🥰🥰

[@globetrotter9212]

Oh God. Usha has always been an intriguing personality to me.

[@Vivek-cw7zc]

Agreed! And this video really made me know her much more!

[@Acansha]

she is a living legend

[@aathikam5991]

Never seen a lady who’s so unapologetically herself! ❤️

[@setsuna9235]

She is the perfect exmaple of multifaceted personality.

My life will be complete if I get an audible book in Usha Uthup's voice. 😍😍

Nobody here to appreciate this legend?

their channel is dead actually

[@oizani]

let's see how many people see this legend.

[@freakyintrovert4649]

My goodness she has grandchildren?? I feel like she's in her 20's by the way she speaks, she's so chill! ❤️

[@AJs_sugarrush]

Love her even more... was lucky to meet her and watch all her performances here in bandra

[@manjurangra56469]

She is a legend yes so honest true to herself family her audience eloquent speaker she is beautiful beautiful voice so much passion hats off to her Thank you for your singing.....

[@baalah7]

10mins.42 secs fully engrossed. Legend in a Saree 🙏🏼 May your tribe increase 🙌🏻

[@ramneekxkmphkolkata]

Damn this made me cry. Growing up in a privileged family in Kolkata, I was privileged to have seen Usha ji live at about half a dozen instances. If only my early teenage mind would have known that I was watching a legend! I would really really really love to watch her live now that I am 30. :-)

[@justsomeone3154]

Ok hello I have an idol from this moment on and that’s Usha uthup. I can hear her talk all day and than cherry on top she sings like that. I can listen to her sing talk every second.

[@poulamihui8845]

Atleast write the name of your idol correctly..it's Usha Uthup, not Utthapa...

[@justsomeone3154]

@Poulami Hui I apologise it was the autocorrect

[@bts-mysavinggrace2698]

Same.....

[@PetiteStyleNFashion]

She was just ahead of her time!! A SUPRSTAR .

[@SuranjanaVlogsUSA]

She has achieved a lot I think bollywood should focus on singers like these.. couldn't imagine anyone singing a better version of skyfall ❤️

[@archer7199]

Don't be afraid to be different. Be afraid of being the same all the time. Love you Usha di, you're a gem of a person.

[@LoveLove-fp2rn]

Even her speaking voice is so soothing to listen to

[@aKm057]

And the fact that this is the first time I’ve heard her sing….. helllloooowwwww!!!!! AK!!!!!! What the hell!!!! I gotta know more about her mahn… What a beauty… her way of talking.. the accent…. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@dhananjaykansal8097]

SHE'S ABSOLUTELY LOVELY TO HEAR. I can hear her all the day.

[@akshat4311]

She is a true entertainer, musician and I would love to listen her stories. She has many of her adventures to tell. Respect for her. A living legend🙏🙏

[@divyanshkhandekar6550]

"public me sansani ek bar krne doo" ❤️❤️❤️ and she did ... I love her voice and her persona

[@gurpreetty]

She's a stunner! ♥

[@birdofforest1313]

I love her voice as well as her personality!!!

[@DakshBabbar]

I grew up listening her karadi rhymes. Thank you ma'am for making my childhood.

[@dineshadireddy6416]

She was not used to her capability by the Indian cinema...shame on us.

[@sindhujasingh3203]

Her voice is something Indian female playback singers can't even imagine! Lol! Though there are good singers!

[@gautamarora7896]

I met her yesterday and performed for her, beyond being a legend, she applauded at every song I sang. 🙌

[@Alwayskeepsmiling007]

I love her personality.. the way she carries herself... obviously in love with her signing style...

[@spandana4766]

Can't seem to wrap my head around how amazing and talented she is 🙌

[@dandshidriseshaikh9857]

Although she has attained fame she hasn't forgotten our culture

[@tamoghnachakraborty1303]

She is a legend... Bengal loves her and she loves Bengal ❤️

[@sumanraina246]

Hardwork Is The Predecessor Of Success!

[@AA-to6jk]

She is an icon for new singers, truly a masterpiece ❤️

[@naikhemanta]

She is true rockstar.. I remember my old school days... Wherever you go any function.. They definitely play her songs because at that time we know that she is the only one who perform like rockstar.

[@idkatthispoint-s9s]

You know how underrated she is when so many Indians have heard about her for the first time including me

[@rishabhrox1]

Okay she is underrated I agree but her name, and her voice...has ALWAYS been around. Go to any Bengali Durga Puja function or any Indian wedding across North India and her catchy hits like Hari Om Hari or Koi Yahaan Nache Nache are still played repeatedly and people groove to them in full vigour. Usha Uthup was always considered India's first rockstar..... She didn't become famous because she wasn't cut out for film music...but the few hits she had, she achieved longevity and legend status from those alone.

[@narayananbala9661]

one of the most fascinating and reverred woman of Indie Western Music. A person who has been able to connect with the whole world

[@parinmehta7154]

MY GOD...!!! What i just saw now is OUT OF THIS WORLD... Never knew this side of Usha ji...!! What an artist...!! I MEAN WOW...!!! Bollywood was so cruel in 90s and 2000s to her that they never explored her talent . instead those in 70s and 80s made sure she brought western music in Indian cinema...!! Thanks @BrutIndia for uploading this..!! 11 min of total engrossing..!
