I think list should be separated for singers & music directors. And Illayaraja ... the Maestro should be topping the list.

Thank you for putting this website together. It makes it easy to explore music I would have not likely have come across on my own. While the comments about omissions are helpful I’m very sorry people have such a rude tone toward someone who has clearly worked hard to put together a remarkable resource. 🙏
