Many singers suffered lack of oppurtunities. All were super hits no doubt and as usual there was a blind following by other Music directors, (-like what is happening today) to blame the market and used the same voices. MSV did all his songs with TMS and Suseela in late 60s. Ha, this is the thread I was looking out for. The longivity of his everlasting hits will stand proof. Sure for this senior maestro who has influenced all the MDs to be awarded with a national recognition very soon. That should have been the philosophy of MSV and singers of his golden days. Melodies and fame through the melodies are greater than the national awards. SO WAS THE CASE WITH HIS SINGERS LIKE TMS, SIRKAZHI GOVINDARAJAN, PBS etc., who worked for tfm.Īlphabetical list of songs discussed with audio links: This great master with a variety of voices in his songs, variety of lyrical beauty with outstanding lyricist, has NOT GOT EVEN A SINGLE NATIONAL AWARD RECOGNITION TILL DATE. His melodies are still listened to in the radio, TVs and also sung in almost all the stage performances. This doyen has no replacement in the industry and is unique.
In an era of lacking facilities, non digital, full orchestra, single track recording, MSV has done great tuning, orchestration and a variety of rhythm arrangements. His tunes are still ringing on the air beyond generations. It is beyond doubt that MSV has served the tfm industry in its golden period. MELLISAI MANNAR MSV - THE SENIOR MAESTRO WITH EVERLASTING TF
