The unsung series - Special # 9

When someone mentions 'Sirkali Govindarajan', I instantly remember his great Devotional numbers like.

* Ganapathiye Varuvai
* Nee Allal Dheivam Illai
* Neeye En Vaazhvukku
* Panniru Vizhigalile
* Thai Poosa Thiru Naalil
* Theeratha Vinai Theerkum
* Vinayagane Vinai Theerpavane

These songs are great ones and melt our hearts. Besides he'd sung a lot of popular hits in Tamil Movies. Some of them are:

* Sange Muzhangu
* Neenga Nalla irukkonum Naadu Munnera
* Adi Adangum Vaazhkaiyada (Uvamai Kavinjar Suratha was a lyricist for this song, who passed away on June 20, 2006)
* Amuthu Thenum Etharku (This was also written by Mr. Suratha)
* Ullaththil Nalla Ullam
* Odi Vilaiyadu Pappa
* Kannan Vandhan Ange
* Kattu malli poothirukku
* Kannaana Kannanukku Avasarama
* Engiruntho Vandhan
* Panam Pandhiyile
* Odam Nadhiyinile
* Kadhalikka Neramillai
* Vetri Venduma Pottu Parada
* Irukkum Idaththai Vittu
* Arupadai Veedu Konda
* Thalai vaari poochoodi unnai
* Madurai Arasalum
* Thirupathi malai vaazhum venkatesa
* Nadanthai Vaazhi Kaveri
* Ulagam samanillai
* Kallile Kalai Vannam Kandan
* Ellarum Ellamum Pera Vendum



Whenever I think of him, I think of the 'history' based and devotional movies. In my childhood period, I used to believe that he is the real 'agathiyar' saint for a very long time - like I believed K.B. Sundarambal to be great woman poet of Tamil 'Avvaiyar'!


SPB has sung the song 'Devan Kovil Maniyosai' from the movie 'Maniyosai' which was originally sung by Padmasri Dr. Govindarajan, in V.Ramamurthy's music.

Enjoy.
