This singer is no longer with us but her voice never
failed to melt our soul. A pretty young singer who passed away due to
health issues;has contributed immensely in Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam
industry.
Swarnalatha 's 'Povoma oorvolam' speaks volumes
about her unique pitch she possesses. Not many singers have managed to
captre the essence that Swarnalatha did through her songs. Be it
Illayaraja or Rahman, Swarnalatha has done her best for both the
stalwarts. Some of the best songs that cannot go unnoticed that she has
sung for the Maestro include - 'Aattama Therottama' from Captain Prabhakar, ''Kuyil paatu' from Chinna Maapilai, 'Maadathila kanni' from
Veera and ofcourse 'Rakkama Kaiyathattu' from Thalapathi.
Moving ahead to Rahman songs by Swarnalatha, the best
songs would include - 'Evano Oruvan' from Alaipayuthey. The feel that
she has brought out via this song is impeccable. Even the music director
himself once said that he could not think of anyone else better to have
sung this song. Swarnalatha- Rahman combination has been brilliant
considering she pulled off 'Akkadanga naanga' from Indian, 'Usilampatti
penkutti' from Gentleman, with ease. Although her best track one could
say that brought her to extremem levels of popularity was 'Mukkala
muqabula laila' from Kadhalan. And in this best songs list we cannot
forget adding 'Ai Rama' - a classic piece from the movie Rangeela, a
very difficult song in terms of its notes structure and the pitch that
it has been structured in.
Swarnalatha has also contributed in the Malayalam
film industry and her best tracks include - "Pottukuthedi
Pudavachoodedi" from Ravana Prabhu and "Balla Balla Ballare" from
Punjabi house.
One can say, there is never a replacement for her -
her versitlity, her dedication that she attaches with her profession or
her emotion that she conveys through each of her songs.
