Like this we can say more and more about illayaraaj. Till now his music composed in 1970, 80s are all very famous and no one can beet his music by others. If we hear now 2017 also hus songs all give us more peace of mind, rest and who cant abke to sleep by hearing his songs autimatically sleep will come bcoz its looks like mother singing song when we are in baby stage.
His age actually now 73 but his age was 1000 more by his songs and he will stand till music in world. He has no death from my point of view. He is one and only leagend in music industry. He is simply great and thanks for Chinnathaye who given birth to world.
