The last month saw a lot of M.S. Subbulakshmi in media. A biopic on her was announced and perhaps because of this, social media was flooded with reminiscences about her, some real and some imaginary. In the midst of all this we were delighted to find an issue of Madras Musings, dating to 2004, being circulated by a rare books collector. The cover story was dedicated to this national icon and great singer, perhaps the greatest of all time in Carnatic music, when she passed away. We reproduce the cover page as our tribute to the great lady.
