When you started singing at Trinkas, my parents had gone to there. When they came home, my father who did not care for pop music remarked that there was a new singer who had a fantastic voice. I was shocked because I had never heard him speak so highly of any singer. The next weekend I went with them n heard you singing n was bowled over. The rest is history.

Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go - Jamie Anderson.

Dear Usha I was there in Bombay when you sang in Talk of the Town. My husband was a regular in Trincas and used to say Pagli ghure phire. He attended your case and we were overjoyed that you had won. He gave all the details of the case down to your red bordered saree. I danced to dum maro dum and dressed up like you in our school cruise and sang on stage. I got a standing ovation. Today I am in Santinikan listening to you. My husband left me two years ago and you have given me a lot of solace. I love you.❤

I think she is the original Diva and an institution. Heard her at our college festival Milieu about 36 years back and oh my God! She was simply awesome! Then heard her at the KalaGhoda festival in Mumbai about 8-9 years back. She had the same booming voice, awesome presence and got the crowds into a frenzy. Her voice is so so unique and gorgeous. She is such an honest, genuine, humble and fabulous person. She is so generous with her praise for other singers which most celebrity singers are not. That shows what a big person she is. Simply love her 💕💕💕. My heartfelt condolences Ma’m on the loss of your beloved husband.

She is my favorite of all times. My brother first told me abt her when he saw her perform at a club in Calcutta. He is a shippy. So when the ship docked in there, a grp of boys would visit the club. From that time till now I never miss an opportunity to hear her songs. I too have lost my husband. He too was a man of few words like hers. He too had a sudden death and left without saying a word to me. Like her I too have accepted God's will. Luv you Usha. God bless you.

Eventhough I have listened to her Music half a dozen times mostly in Kerala, I was blown out when she did her program in Shillong. Was so happy to see the Khasi crowd getting crazy, singing along with her mostly Western numbers. Crowd gets carried away with Usha's style. Keep it going.
