Good list of M.S.and the top name is Subbalakshmi! I remembered MS Sathyu, the famous music director!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments Sandhya. Will add his name too.
DeleteInformative and interesting post, SG. A casual observation... majority of them are South Indians :D
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments Shilpa. You are very observant. I think it is because majority of South Indians go by their initials in front of their given names.
DeleteA good write-up, SG. I think you have got all well-known ones in it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments Pradeep.
DeleteIts amazing you started with your list with MS Subbalakshmi. I love her Sanskrit hymns. I did not know many names from the list you have mentioned. Informative post!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments Shesha.
DeleteI've got to listen to some songs composed by MSV. I may have known them, but may not know if it was composed by him. Can u suggest two or three of your favorite songs by MSV?
