INSPIRED ILAYARAJA

ILayaraja my alltime favourite composer whose melody can make people feel the heaven.Grammy awards and academy awards can increse their pride by awarding him as many times as they can.He is a Maestro.His tunes accompained by the vocals of S.P.Balu and K.J.YesuDas would impart unforgettable feel to the listeners.Some of his songs were inspired from foreign compostions.
Some of the Hindi songs very few were copied but i'm sure it would have been producers who compelled him to do so.

Most of his compositions inspired foreigners to adopt his tunes.He is great.

Here are some inspired ones.
