Kannadasan,Vaali and VM had always been the heroes of any discussion thats related to lyrics. Very often lyrics of other kavignars are assumed/mistaken to be written by these 3. This thread is an effort to come out with songs that were written by kavignars other than these 3

  As I was looking at the Sa re ga ma catalogue, I found so many lyricists who haven't been listed in this thread or elsewhere in this site.
  
  For example:
  Lyricist(s) : for Karnan/Ambigapathi
  
  were the following guys besides Kannadhaasan,
  • Adi Moolam
  • K.D.Santhanam
  • Ku.Ma.Pa.
  
  Any information and compilation of all their contribution is very much appreciated. Manisegaran, engae poaneergal?

  Okay, I found some info on Ku.Ma.Pa in our Lyricists section. But the other two haven't been mentioned. I will be back with more forgotten lyricists.

  Udhaya:
  
  The song, kutram purindhavan vAzhkkaiyil nimmadhi
  was penned by R. Krishnamurthy. Some time ago
  I wrote in some thread a small story behind that
  song... how RK came about writing it.
  
  
• From: Udhaya (@ 63.89.188.210) on: Tue Oct 10 15:43:33 EDT 2000
  
  sk,
  That's interesting to know. I got my info from the CD cover. I thought "Saregama" was pretty accurate about these things; guess not. I would like to read your post about this song. Let me know if you remember the thread where you wrote it. Guess, I can check the Olds Songs thread where you frequent.
  
  Finding out about these lyricists was great. All of these songs have been my favorites for a long time and now I get to appreciate the individual lyricist instead of assuming it was written by Kannadhaasan, Pattukoattai or Maruthakaasi.

  Udhaya!
  Some of the nice songs of Udumalai Narayana Kavi:
  
  1. OridanthnilE nilai nillAthulaginilE (CNA's film vElaikkAri)
  2. Nalla nalla nilam pArthu nAmum vidhai vidhaikkanum (I think the film is MGR's vivasAyi)

  Udhaya:
  
  I forgot in which thread I wrote about RK.
  
  Mayavanathan wrote this beautiful song in the movie,
  padiththAl mattum pOdhumA..
  
  thaNNilavu thEniRaikka thAzhai madal neer theLikka
  kannimagaL nadaipayindru vandhAL - iLam
  kAdhalanaik kaNdu nANi nindrAL
  
  It seems when this song came, people felt.. 'Ah
  here is someone to compete with Kannadhasan!'
  But he did not make great impression in his other
  songs. Some of his best songs are:
  
  niththam niththam mARugindradheththanaiyO
  
  kavalaigaL kidakkattum maRandhuvidu
  
  idhazh mottu virindhida muththu viLaindhidum
  chiththirap peNpAvai
  
  kAvirip peNNE vAzhga, undhan kAdhalan chOzha
  vEndhanum vAzhga
  
  azhaguu radham poRakkum adhu asainju asainju nadakkum

  Hi all,
  
  I think maruthakasi wrote the maximum no of songs after kannadasan before the advent of vaali and
  others. is this correct?
  
  
  
• From: raju (@ ) on: Sat Aug 7 16:12:11 EDT 2004
  
  yes, Maruthakasi wrote maximum number of songs after kannathasan in numbers , and its sad that he was always forgotten , just because he lead a simple and non propaganding life .people use to call him "Mariyathai kasi" since he use to call even his car driver as "anna"
