'''Thiruchirappalli Govindarajulu Lingappa''' (22 August 1927 – 5 February 2000) was an Indian music director who had scored music for [[Tamil language|Tamil]], [[Kannada]] and [[Telugu cinema|Telugu]] movies.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20080618181337/http://www.hindu.com/mp/2008/06/14/stories/2008061451820200.htm BLAST FROM THE PAST Sati Shakti 1964]</ref><ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20040401002559/http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/fr/2003/12/05/stories/2003120501540500.htm From vintage to the recent ]</ref><ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20090406111551/http://www.hindu.com/cp/2009/04/03/stories/2009040350371600.htm Sabhash Meena 1958]</ref> He was the son of [[G. Govindarajulu Naidu]] who was also a musician.{{Citation needed|date=February 2021}}

==Early life==
T.G. Lingappa was the second son and had learned music from his father G. Govindarajulu Naidu. His family stayed in Thiruchi. This is where [[M. K. Thyagaraja Bhagavathar]] (MKT) used to sing in their house and G. Govindarajulu Naidu introduced MKT to his children. G. Govindarajulu was a harmonium player in special dramas, but was also known as the one who taught music for [[K. B. Sundarambal]]. He also sold musical instruments and gramophone in Thiruchi, but the business was not doing very well. T. G. Lingappa had learned to play several musical instruments. In 1940, G. Govindarajulu Naidu took his family to Madras to look for greener pasture there.

==Career life==
At the age of 14, Lingappa tried to act in the film Kamathenu which was produced by Visvanathan. Instead Visvanathan had asked Lingappa to sing and to remain with him for sometime to given chance. He stayed a few months and when it is not fruitful and then moved on. Since he is able to play musical instruments, he then joined the Mayoora Film Orchestra and played [[Pump organ|harmonium]], [[mandoline]] and guitar. This orchestra used to play music for films and gramophone. It sis to be noted that Lingappa played instruments for ''[[Ashok Kumar]]'' (1941) and he was earning salary of {{INR}}30 monthly .

In the same year Lingappa approached [[Gemini Studios]] to try his luck. [[C. Ramchandra]] was working there with other older artistes. But Lingappa was rejected due to his young age. Not giving up, Lingappa proceeded to [[Salem, Tamil Nadu|Salem]] to try his chance in [[Modern Theatres]] when music director [[T. A. Kalyanam]] invited him. There Lingappa met [[T. R. Pappa]] and [[K. V. Mahadevan]]. It was the time during the 1940s where everyone was circumambulating all available studios for opportunities.

In 1945, Lingappa returned to Madras and worked under [[R. Sudarsanam]] in the [[Pragathy Studios]] and he played instruments in the film ''[[Sri Valli (1945 film)|Sri Valli]]'' (1945). Lingappa went to Karakkudi to play musical instruments when [[AVM Productions]] made ''[[Nam Iruvar]]'' (1947). In 1948, he returned to Madras and worked under [[C. R. Subburaman]]. All these experience under different renowned music directors had sparked an idea to be a freelance musician. He went on to purchase modern instruments from abroad, especially London where he bought the electric guitar. Lingappa was well capable of playing the guitar. Music directors [[G. Ramanathan]], [[S. V. Venkatraman]] and [[K. V. Mahadevan]] had used Lingappa for several of their songs. From then on Lingappa was playing many instruments under all the leading music directors.

He worked with singers like [[T. M. Soundararajan]], [[A. M. Rajah]], [[Seerkazhi Govindarajan]], [[V. N. Sundaram]], S. C. Krishnan, [[M. L. Vasanthakumari]], [[P. Leela]], [[Jikki]], [[T. V. Rathinam]], [[A. P. Komala]], [[Radha Jayalakshmi]], [[Soolamangalam Sisters|Soolamangalam Rajalakshmi]], [[K. Jamuna Rani]], [[P. Susheela]], [[K. Rani (singer)|K. Rani]] and [[S. Janaki]].

The singing actors [[M. M. Dandapani Desikar]], [[T. R. Mahalingam (actor)|T. R. Mahalingam]], [[K. R. Ramaswamy (actor)|K. R. Ramaswamy]], [[U. R. Jeevarathinam]], [[N. S. Krishnan]], [[T. A. Madhuram]] and [[J. P. Chandrababu]] also sang memorable songs under his compositions.

===T. G. Lingappa and T. R. Mahalingam===
[[T. R. Mahalingam (actor)|T. R. Mahalingam]] had produced his first film ''Macha Regai'' (1950) where the music was done by [[C. R. Subburaman]]. His manager was [[B. R. Panthulu]]. Since [[C. R. Subburaman]] died suddenly, [[T. R. Mahalingam (actor)|T. R. Mahalingam]] who had known Lingappa from earlier and became closer in the film ''[[Nam Iruvar]]'', gave Lingappa chance to compose music for his second production ''[[Mohana Sundaram]]'' (1951). There are more than ten songs in ''Mohanasundaram''. It was also that [[J. P. Chandrababu]] sang first ''Hello My dear Darling, Hello My rose charming''. The success of the songs are due to T. R. Mahalingam and Lingappa both knew carnatic music, cooperated and discussed the tunes together. After that T. R. Mahalingam used Lingappa in his other movies like ''[[Chinna Durai (1952 film)|Chinna Durai]]'' and ''[[Vilayattu Bommai]]''.

===T. G. Lingappa and B. R. Panthulu===
[[B. R. Panthulu]] separated from T. R. Mahalingam and started [[Padmini Pictures]] for which banner Lingappa composed most number of films in Tamil. The first film of B. R. Panthulu was ''[[Kalyanam Panniyum Brahmachari]]'' (1954), a [[Sivaji Ganesan]] starrer directed by [[P. Neelakantan]]. There are excellent songs in the film. The [[Bharathidasan]] song ''Vennilaavum Vaanum Pol'' was first sung by [[M. M. Dandapani Desikar]] in the stages. Lingappa obtained his permission to use the same song in Kalyanam Panniyum Brahmachaari with some modifications and after the approval of the tune by Baradidasan, [[Radha Jayalakshmi]] sang the song. [[V. N. Sundaram]] sang the comedy song ''Kaviyin Kanavil Vaazhum Oviyame'' in which he combines light music with carnatic tune. [[J. P. Chandrababu]] sang for Sivaji ''Jolly Life Jolly Life''. This film and songs became hit. B. R. Panthulu again booked Lingappa for [[Sivaji Ganesan]] starrer ''[[Mudhal Thethi]]'' (1955).

''[[Thangamalai Ragasiyam]]'' (1958) is another film that lifted [[P. Suseela]] to great heights. The song is ''Amuthai Pozhiyum Nilave''. The same film was taken in Hindi and this song was retained with Hindi words. Again it became a success in the Hindi circles.

Lingappa continued on composing for ''[[Sabaash Meena]]'' (1958), ''[[Engal Kudumbam Perisu]]'' (1958) and ''[[Kuzhandhaigal Kanda Kudiyarasu]]'' (1960). He then went on to compose in Kannada movies. After a break he came back to compose in ''[[Muradan Muthu]]'' (1964). That was the last film where B. R. Pantulu used Sivaji Ganesan.

However, Lingappa continued on working with Panthulu in many more Kannada films till the early 1970s. There were Malayalam films too.

The last collaboration was ''Kadavul Mama'' (1974) before the demise of Panthulu.

==Works==
''Vaazhviley Oru Naal'' (1956) produced by T. S. Venkataswami who is the husband of [[U. R. Jeevarathinam]]. In this movie Lingappa there is a duet ''Thendrale Varaayo Inba Sugam Tharayo'' by [[T. M. Soundararajan]] and [[U. R. Jeevarathinam]].

It is said by Lingappa himself that there are at least two songs that he composed, but came to be used by other music directors. One is ''Kunguma Poove'' which J. P. Chandrababu learnt under Lingappa and sang for [[S. M. Subbaiah Naidu]] in ''Maragatham'' (1959). The other is the song ''Putham Puthu Meni'' by [[Balamurali Krishna]] and [[P. Susheela]] in ''Subathinam''.

Some compositions of T. G. Lingappa:
