The 1st song of MS Subbulakshmi (on Murugan)

Not open for further replies.
MS Amma (as fondly called) had her 1st recording, when she was a kid of 10 years! (1926)
She came back from school & was eager to go out and play; But her mom, Madurai Shanmuga Vadivu, got her an opportunity!

She made the kid, sing a Tamizh Song (Maragatha Vadivum); The mother played Veena along with the kid; This was recorded by Oriental Records!

This song was composed by a great Vaishnavite devotee of Lord Muruga @ Tiruchendur!
His name was Pagazhi Koothar;

He lived in 15th CE; He composed this "kiddie poem" called piLLai Tamizh and this one is a lullaby to Tiruchendur Muruga!

Watch, how MS kid, can extend her voice, to suit the difficult tempo of the song, even at such a small age!
