He worked with major singers and music directors throughout the 1960s, 70s, and 80s, including on some Kannada films with [[Tamil Nadu|Tamil]] actor [[Rajinikanth]]. His last film was''[[Odahuttidavaru]]''. He wrote a Kannada song for a Tamil movie in [[M. G. Ramachandran]]'s ''[[Nadodi Mannan]]'' (1958). He was always writing, despite having bad eyesight. According to his family, three days before his death, he was still writing devotional songs on [[Rama]] for a cassette. Other than nearly 4,000 film songs, he wrote three novels: ''Badukina Bairagi'', ''Srimanchakrayana'', and ''Sanjegempu'', as well as Puttanna Kanagal's biography and lyrics for many devotional cassettes.
