In this month, we have picked songs to pay tribute
to TM Soundararajan also known as TMS.
TMS
served the Tamil music industry for more than six decades. During
this period he sang more than 10,000 movie songs and 3000 devotional
songs. Success did not come easy to him. He was rejected by music
composers as they felt his voice cracked at high pitches. So he
started working in film celebrity houses hoping to get a break through
them. Finally, it did come through the director Sundar Rao Nadkarni
who recommended him to music director S M Subbiah Naidu. S M Subbiah
Naidu gave him an opportunity to sing 5 songs in the movie Krishna
Vijayam. Things did not change overnight. He was still an unknown
entity until he got an opportunity to sing for Shivaji in the movie
"Thooku Thooki" and for MGR in the movie "Mandhiri
Kumari". Initially Sivaji was reluctant to accept TMS as he
felt that singer Maruthakasi's voice fitted him well on screen.
TMS offered to trial a song for him in Thooku Thooki. So he went
and met with him and observed his way of pronounciation and voice.
Later he sung the song which impressed Sivaji so much that he agreed
to have him sing more songs for him in the. On the other end, MGR
heard his voice while he was recording for Sivaji and insisted for
him to sing his song in the movie "Mandhiri Kumari". The
rest become a history. He became 'the singer' for all Sivaji and
MGR movies. He modulates the song according to the actors that fans
can say who the actor for a song is!
