Will there be any other vocalist who will be able to sing like him? His rendition and effortless style of singing will be an impossible act to follow or emulate. His incredible voice!! Some of his songs are really hard rock.Hey!

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

yes, it is by MKT. TMS sings a piece from it in Kulamagal Raathai.
One more MKT song:
amba manam kaninthu (Pantuvarali)

Rajaraman:
I though Amba Manam Kanindhu is by KRRamasami. Doesnt this song figure in Velaikkari just before Balaiah convinces KRR to become a con-man ?

hi jaya,
thanks for bringing out a topic such as this for discussion. although i started listening to mkt only a couple of years back, i am irresistably drawn to his commanding voice. i have couple of cassettes and each of the songs is a gem.
RV: amba manam kaninthu is by mkt. a real masterpiece.
maraivai pudaitha oodu maraintha maayam eno is yet another classic rendering by mkt. one should hear the subtle and overt variations to believe it. what a range and what control?
annaiyum thandaiyum munnari deivamen is also a great piece.
it was a pleasant surprise to find this in the DF. i shall come back (with more info)

Good to see MKT here. Great voice. Great signing. There is one song which I think you guys missed. I think the song goes as "Kalagalil Sirandadu Naatiya Kalaye". This is in Natakurunji. This fact is told in the song itself. "Raagathil Sirandhadhu Natakurunji".
Continuing in the same vien, how many out there like M M Dhandapani Desikar? I have two of his tapes. One of them is Nandanar. The songs are just too good. If you have a liking for Classical music, this album is not to be missed. Similarly his other album too is great. It has a beautiful Arabhi. ("Anbu kondu Ennai Aadhari") I think most of them are private songs. My reco., if you love old songs or classical music based songs, get these tapes. You will not regret it.

Additions to MKT list:
bhoomiyil mAnida janmam
vasantha rudhu mana mOganamE
dheenak karuNAkaranE natarAjA neelakaNdanE
MKT is emerging as one of my favorite TFM male singers as I keep exploring the pre-mellisai mannargaL era. It seems tough to find all his songs though, given the number of songs he has sung in each movie.
(Digression: Suresh, Aren't en appan allavA en thAyum allavA and appanaip pAdum vAyAl both sung by MMDD in nandhanAr?)
