I have had a chance to listen to MKTB songs and they are simply great. well, one should listen to appreciate. as we all know, most of the old songs (1940's and 50's) were sung by the actors themselves(dominating the TF industry were MKTB, PU chinnappa and others)and again most of them were classical (based on raagas). Some of my favourite MKTB's songs (with their raagas) are:


1. Unnai kandu mayangaadha pergalundo - Bairavi

2. Vallalai paadum vaayaal - Senchuruti

3. Vadhaname chandra bimbamo - Sindhubhairavi

4. maname nee eesan naamathai - kunthalavaraali

5. maraivaai pudhaitha odu - Darbar (fantastic)

6. Raadhe unakku kobam aagaadhadi - Senchuruti

7. Soppana vaazhvil magizndhu - Vijayanaagari

8. Manmadha leelaiyai vendraar undo - Charukesi

.......... and more
