As far as Kannada Oldies are concerned, G.K. Venkatesh, T.G.Lingappa, Vijaya Bhaskar, Rajan Nagendra, M.Venkataraju, M.Ranga Rao. Satyam and Ghantasala are the most prolific composers of film music. Then there are other superbly talented music directors who have not composed many songs in Kannada movies. I will try to upload some beautiful tunes composed by these "lesser" composers (the list of which includes such giants as M.Balamuralikrishna, Salil Chaudhury, Jaidev, etc.). These songs are in no particular order.
Here are the first five.

Thank you very much Yadavgiri for these wonderful rare songs, in fact i was looking for Kuhoo kuhoo from Kalavati sung by Manna dey for ages and because of your effort i got the song. So cheers for you.

By the way there is one more song sung by Manna dey in Kannada, which goes like this

"Jayate jayate satyameva jayate"

.. the problem is i'm not sure as to the film this song was part of. (maybe Kalavati)

So if u can upload it i would be grateful to you. Thanks in advance

Dear anandk,

Jayate Jayate by Manna De, Krishna Kalle and others is from "Kalpavriksha" (MD: Jaidev). It has been uploaded above. You must have missed it.

Yadavagiri,

Thank you very much for sharing some of these old songs.
If you have any more songs from 'Kalpavriksha' please upload them.
