Many of the above songs were big hits!

Yes I still remember the good old radio days where they announce the lyricist names without fail. M.G Vallaban is no more , but this songs will be forever.

Thanks a lot Inba sir for the complete list and tfmpage links. Nice to know our old timers of tfmpage as always.

Some observations related to MGV + that tfmpage thread:

1. Though he failed as a director (thaippongal), it seems he did screenplay / dialog for a few silver jubilee hits later on. (udhayageetham, for example)

2. There is a comment in that thread (by Mythila  ) crediting 'malargaLilE' to MGV  - it is actually by Gangai Amaran.

3. Some close relatives of MGV commented there (including one Archana, possibly his daughter defending his dad negating a false news report)

4. It seems he was primarily a journalist - editor of filmAlayA and involved in some other periodicals

Hey app sir, you are an amazing IR gold dredge machine  as Saravanan sir,  for TFM.
Thank you for unearthing this forgotten relic . I love most of the songs penned by the late MGV, with 'Agaaya ganfai", "malargaLiLE" being my most favored ones. 
Thanks to V_S for bringing out such hidden facts to light when our TV channels are tirelessly showing the same high volume box office successes excessively.

nanRi, for the kind words

As pointed out in my post above, 'malargaLilE ArAdhanai' was penned by Gangai Amaran & not MGV. (MGV did meenkodiththEril in that album).
