"HOW I BEGAN TO WRITE SONGS" -- AN UNKNOWN SONGWRITER FROM KUMBAKONAM

The most beautiful and sweetest voice which I have been admiring with fantasy since my childhood.




     In those days we used to listen songs from tape-recorder. Whenever we give a blank audio cassette for recording the Tamil movie songs to the music recording shops (MUSICALS), they often fill the gap at the end of both the sides with English Music after recording the songs in the order list. So once I had a chance to listen to an English song while l was listening to Tamil songs. It was really catchy. I wished to listen that song completely because they had just filled the gap. I went to that shop and asked for the full song. The shopkeeper showed a pre-recorded cassette. It’s “Take the heat off me” a music album of BoneyM.

    BoneyM attracted me towards English songs and Liz Mitchell’s voice made me to dream about becoming a songwriter.
