Forgotten singers of yesteryears

[Isai Rasigan]

There have been many discussions about the well known singers and their songs have been analyzed threadbare, thanks to some of the more knowledgeable members of this forum. I searched around, but could not find any threads related to some of the less known singers like A L Raghavan, L R Anjali etc. Besides there were others like Sulamangalam Rajalakshmi, M L Vasanthakumari and A P Komala who had brief careers in filmdom. My knowledge of these people is next to nothing. May be some of our leading members like TFML will have some interesting titbits about these people.

For starters about A L Raghavan, there is this news item in "The Hindu".

Among his well known songs is "Engirunthalum Vazhga".

One of his lesser known songs here:

Film: Nil Gavani Kadhali
Song: Come Come Rosy
Singers: A L Raghavan, L R Eswari
