As such, I have doubt that other non-Tamilian playback singers could have done justice to poet Bharathi’s poems apart from this quartet. But, the Tamil diction of some non-Tamilian singers (especially Ghantasala) leaves much to be desired. Thirdly, all four singers by their enchanting styles in diction and delivery brought to life the poems of poet Bharathi’s substance.

Even Sivaji Ganesan had then grumbled that the producers had arranged a lesser known guy for this movie to sing his songs, rather than opting for Jayaraman Pillai who had contributed to his success as the hero in his debut Parasakthi (1952) movie.

Rather than repeating what had been already presented by others, in this remembrance feature, I make an attempt to compare the career of TMS, with that of his three equally adept contemporaries, namely Tiruchi S. His death on May 25 th Saturday generated numerous elegies to him in the media. Thanks to his long life, TMS invigorated, entertained and soothed three generations of music fans. If a Tamilian is asked to name a singer of Tamil songs, Tuguluva Meenatchi Iyengar Soundararajan (1922-2013, popularly known as TMS among Tamils) is the name which springs in the mind of millions of Tamils. Only after the Tamil movies came to adopt Bharathi’s compositions in 1948, his poems were made popular by the singers who provided the form. But, they were not popular during his lifetime and he died in penury. Good examples were the poems of Subramanya Bharathi (1882-1921), the foremost Tamil poet of the 20 th century. But, it is the singer’s voice (and to an equal extent the music director or the one who arranges the score) who offers the form for those poems or lyrics. Poets or lyricists provide the substance to their poem or lyrics. Soundararajan The Pole Star among the Tamil movie singers’ Majestic Quartet
