Friends.this is a post dedicated to a wonderful singer Swarna Latha garu who has expired today....Got this information from my wellwisher and our blog regular visitor,H.K.Raju annaya from Bangalore...Firstly thnx for the info annaya bt I was deeply disheartened after hearing this...Of all the songs she sang,i really love KUCCHI KUCCHI KUNAMMA,KUNDANALA KUNAMMA from BOMBAY...! Music maestro ILAYARAJA garu feels that she is his favorite singer of all the younger generation singers....
She was born in the year 1973 and everyone of her family member felt that God gifted her a wonderful voice...Every Indian felt the same but God wanted to hear her voice closely...So he took her to his presence...India will surely miss her voice..A very young talented star has fallen and I am one of the persons who really miss her voice..May her soul rest in peace..My deepest condolences to her family members..Thnx HKR annaya for intimating me regarding this..!
Some Info regarding her...!!!]
One of the most popular voices of the 90’s, Swarnalatha passed away today morning (September 12) at a private hospital, due to lung problems. The singer was just 37 at the time of her death
The Chitoor in Palakkad district of Kerala born singer has been a favourite of AR Rahman and Ilayaraja and has sung some of their early chartbusters. Harris Jayaraj tweeted- “I was shocked hearing the sudden demise of Swarnalatha. May her soul rest in peace and god bless her family”
Her major plus was that she could sing a melody for AR Rahman like Poralle Ponnuthayi in Bharathiraja’s Karuthamma for which she got the National Award for the best playback singer (1995) and at the same time belt out a fast peppy Mukabala, Mukabala in Kathalan . She has sung some of ARR’s hit numbers in the 90’s
Similarly under Ilayaraja, she has sung the fast and peppy Aattama Therottama in Captain Prabhakar a rage during those days. Remember earlier Swarnalatha has sung the melodious Povomma Oorkolam in Chinna Thambi for which she got the Tamil Nadu State Award for best playback singer. In short Swarnalatha was one of the most versatile singers of her times. During the later half of 2000, she faded out due to lung complications. She has also sung songs in Malayalam, Telugu and Hindi.
