DMK felicitates TM. Soundarrajan

Vairamuthu, leading lyricist of our times has once hailed the veteran playback singer T.M. Soundarrajan saying that the singer would live as long as there is wind in this world. It is an irony that the unique singer hasn't received much honors, awards, and recognitions to match his outstanding contribution to the film music. T.M. Soundarrajan, who is still singing in live concerts, has once expressed his feelings towards the lack of recognition. He was duly honored by the leading light music troupe, Lakshman Sruthi, which conducted a show featuring his songs alone. The musical troupe took T.M. Soundarrajan and his wife to the concert in a chariot in a procession to honor the singer. Now the ruling DMK is planning to felicitate this versatile singer in a grand manner. Madurai DMK, initiated by by M.K. Azhagiri, son of CM M. Karunanidhi, is gearing up to honour T.M. Soundarrajan in Madurai. Azhagiri is a fan of T.M. Soundarrajan right from his childhood. When queried about the function, T.M. Soundarrajan says, 'I have born to spread devotion through music. But I am fortunate enough to be felicitated by rationalist DMK.' T.M. Soundarrajan also takes strong objection to the remix culture. The septuagenarian blasts the trend saying that it is a brutal experiment that could kill good music.
