Ilayaraja: DM Soundararajan sang songs for big actors like MGR and Sivaji in the 50s and 60s. He mesmerized the fans with his beautiful voice. A model for MGR and a model for Shivaji, he has the ability to change his voice and sing beautifully.

TMS has sung numerous songs in the music of MS Viswanathan. At the same time, after Ilayaraja entered Tamil cinema in the late 70s, he made many new singers sing more. Even though SBB was already singing, he was the one who sang most of his films after the arrival of Ilayaaja. Likewise. S. Janaki, Chitra, K. J. Yesudas, Mano, Malaysia Vasudevan and many others sang. Due to this, TMS singing decreased.

In this case, here we are going to look at the incident where DMS sang in a film composed by Ilayaraja and then it was lifted and SBB sang. I will live in 1979 movie starring Sivaji, KR Vijaya and Rajinikanth.

In this film there will be a song scene called ‘Sing with me’. While Shivaji is wondering if he can get hold of his beloved due to his illness, his beloved’s birthday comes. He has to sing in it. The beat and the music should be bouncy. But there must be a sadness in the singing voice. Ilayaraja handled this situation beautifully.

This song was originally sung by DMS. However, his voice is shaky and shaky at many places. It is because of his age. So, not satisfied with that, Ilayaraja had SBP sing the same song.
If you listen to that song, the youth and sadness in SBB’s voice will fit the situation.

Due to this, many people started saying that Ilayaraja had deliberately removed Tim.MS. But Tim MS has sung the song ‘Enthan Pon Vanname’ in the same film. If Ilayaraja had thought, he could have recorded the song with Malaysia Vasudevan. Because he was singing many songs to Shivaji then. So, it must be said that Ilayaraja was sure that fans would like something if we were satisfied first.
