Today is the birthday of Bharathi, the Freedom fighter who had the courage which the hyped up "freedom fighters" lacked. His words reflected the person he was. Wish he had lived longer.

Many of his poems got used in Thamizh movies. The first song that comes to mind is my most favourite too. Ninnai Charanaidhen in the voice of Bombay Jayshree. I can listen to this song in a loop forever @arvenky

The voice of Tiruchi Loganathan, probably Bharathi sounded like this too... this song must have given so much motivation for the freedom fighters on ground

While we are talking about the movie, we can't go past this beautiful song, KaatruveLiyidai kaNNAmma....Lovely love song

What a deergadharisi Bharati was!! Listen to his thoughts.
The first time watched this song, I was too amused by the facial contortions of Sivaji....

D.K.Pattamma's voice is the only voice I can listen this song in, don't know who the actress is, she is so beautiful in the picturisation of this song

This particular song has been used in so many movies, sung by various artists, this is one of the best rendering

Another variation of the song

No one else could have done justice to this song, Veenaiyadi nee enakku

Also KJY, the best, Bharathi wants best in everything, even to save, he needs 'periya kadavuL'

Vallamai thaarayo inha maanilam payanura vaazhvadharke.... Bharathi was living in penury, he didn't wish for wealth for himself from Sivasakthi. What a selfless man!! Let me finish this thread with this SPB song.

@arvenky will add more songs to this thread
