My most favorite singer, despite my craziness for popular film music, is Sirgazhi G. I have never more devotional in my life than when I hear the voice of Sirgazhi. Raised a Catholic, my religious inclinations have been deeply fervored by the profound influence of devotional music by Sirgazhi, in particular. I am a devotee of Lord Murugan, Lord Ganesa and Swami Ayyappan.

Another song where SG sounded very suitable for MGR is from "Nadodhi Mannan" and this song has great lyrics too( Music: SMS, Lyrics: Pattukkottai )


Uzhaippathila, Uzhaippai Peruvathila Inbham Undaavthengey Sol, Yenn Thozha!


I will try to get the entire song because I only remember bits and pieces and they have great meaning. Also, I feel that SG's voice sounds so Patriotic, youthful and Kambeeram in this song.

Another fast one from SG is in "Olivilakku"


Mambhazha Thottam, Mallighai Koottam
Manakkavarum Maalaippozhuthodhu


what a great song( I used to hate this song in the 70's but now, I love it )

Bhaskar:
I did not say that SG has sung only "Pathos" songs but pointed out that SG was remembered as a singer of "Pathos" songs eventhough he had sung numerous "Jolly", "Fun", "Fast" songs.
In "Aalayamani" before that song "Kannaan Kannanukku Avasarama" song, SSR will be waiting for Sarojadevi to show up and then he will start calling her Nick-Name "Vaanambhaadi" and then SD will come running to him and a little later( after some chatting by the Kili ) they both will start singing that song. When SSR yells out "Vaanambhadi", it is Sirgazhi who actually calls the name as part of the song and he would sound so haunting when he calls "Vaanambhaaadi" - you have to hear that to appreciate what I am saying.

Sorry for the wrong numbering.There are 80 over songs.

Manisegaran thirumbi vandhadhu migavum magizcchiyaaga irukkiradhu.

Welcome back!

Manisekaran:
pazaiya arumaiyAna SeerkAzin pAdalgaLai nJabagap paduthineergaL.
Nandri.

ithaip pArthavudan, I remembered few:

- thangatchi chinnap poNNu thalai enna sAiyuthu
eNNangaL engO engO mella mella pOguthu
ennammA kaNNukkuLLa enna vandhu pEsuthu...

This is one of my very favorite VR songs from Karuppu paNam.
Esp. the stranza where SeerkAzi chnages the pace
of the tune and the continuous clapping in the background.....

sitRadai mEluduthi sembanjuk kAleduthu
sirippuk kAtti....
kutRala aruviyenE kuLirinthathoru veNNilavil
thilagam theeti......
sanguk kazuthinilE thanga nagai kuzunga...
mangai nadanthu vara mAnellAm thodarnthu vara
kottungaL mELamena kural ondru olithathammA
konju maiyil pinju manam kuLirAik kuLirnthathammA

A...A..AAAAAAAA...........

Chorus change the tune:
thingaL mEni minna un thangak kAlgaL pinna

SeerkAzi continues with the new tune:
thEr ERi vandha mannan sonna sEthi enna...

One of the best Marriage songs from VR/Kannadasan/SeerkAzi.

Other songs:

seethak kaLabathi senthAmarip........
(arumaiyAna vinAyagar pAttu. I couldn't remember the lyrics.)
For long time I thought it is one of the thanip pAdalgaL - then
later I came to know that it is from Numma kuzainthaigaL - by MSV & BR.Bandhulu.

- azagE thamizE nee vAlga amuthE unthan
- guruvAyoorappA thiruvaruL tharuvAi neeyappA
(from thirumalai then kumari)

Another kaneer + touching song which makes you
absorbed into something is:

mEgangaL irundu vandhAl athai mazai enach solvathUndu
manithargaL thirunthi vandhAl athai pizai enak koLvathuNdO

(with PS from nAn AnaiyittAl - MSV - Alangudi Somu)


Bashkar:

neenga H-1kE pattunnA...athuk kappuram
"thunthanaa thunthanaa thunthanaa" (varauvu 8anA..) thAn.

one more observation:

Manisekaran listil 45m 71m pAdipArthAl orE tune mAthiri irukku:

ithu neerOdu selgindra Odam...
pAttOdu rAgam vandhu mOthuthammA...

first one by vEda, second by SG - both known for their code REUSABILITY - wonder what inspired
them (before inheritence)????
