Welcome back Chandrasekhar gaaru! Its great to see all the (ex) regulars back on list. I can only request, for the umpteenth time, the 'silent members' of the list, who are in majority, to contribute in some form. > I recently watched the begining of the movie Potti pleaderu, produced by the > see a somewhat young G who just acknowledges by saying Namaskaram with his The above film came out in 1966.

A list of > such appearances is all we can put together of G. I hope people can put I think we had this discussion some time back but couldn't comeup with all many replies. Prior to his debut as play-back singer in 1945, he appeared as (socalled) 'extra' in 1944 release "seetaaraama jananam" (and also sang in chorus one or other song: aakaaSamlO mabbulaaraa ... is one song). Then he played a role, as young man, in Nagayya's "tyaagayya" (1946), who belittles the saint composer in a concert. > I wonder if you could shed a bit more light on this, such as was it a > documentary on G or G was only a smal part of it. Its a documentary on G. Well, his son wanted to come up with a 'fitting tribute', but its hitherto not realized. I saw it in late 1986 in Madras and one scene still lingers in my mind where his own composition "bahudoorapu baaTasaaree" is played in the background.

Theres one non-film (all India Radio recording) song of aarudra (vEdamlaa gOdaavari pravahistundi chelee, vennela vale kRshNavENi .....), sung by Ghantasala, which has a similar begining but not on river: Godavari. I think there are a couple of songs on Krishna (one is old number by MS ramarao: SrekRshNaraayani Sita khaDga dhaarala ....... and the other from 1970s). Apparently theres one by G on tungabhadra, either from ma. timmarusu or tenali ramakrishna. Regards, Sreenivas
