A disciple of Namakkal (Pallavi) Narasimha Iyengar, Turaiyur Gopu (as he was called) was a multi faceted artiste. In addition to being a vocalist, he was a Harikatha exponent, an actor, and taught music at Kalakshetra. He was called "pala kural mannar" (lit. king of many voices). Once, Chembai Vaidyanatha Bhagavathar could not perform during a recording session and asked Turaiyur Gopu to mimic him. To date, this recording (aabatpAndavanE) is attributed officially to Chembai. Similarly, the song bhajanai seyvOm in the sound track of the film mAyaprapancam (starring M. K. Thayagaraja Bhagavatar), attributed to MKT was, in fact, sung by Turaiyur Gopu.

He cut several 78RPM records including a full kucheri set.

I could not readily locate an existing thread for this famous vocalist of 1935-1945 years.
Thanks to rare upload of a concert set as a set of 78 RPM records.

Yes Please!

It will be observed that except tamizh, all the other Indian languages, being derived from Sanskrit, follow the Sanskrit phonetic and letters scheme. (ex) ka, kka, ga, gha
--------------------------
But there is no fourth consonant in Tamil.
As Sri.V.Govindan points out, that it is why it is known as 'aravam'.
------
When translitearting tamizh, Google transliteration does a very nice job. Whether we type 'thuraiyur' or 'thuraiyoor', it will give the tamil word as துறையூர், துறையூர்.
However, 'u' has a different sound in English as in pun, tub,hub,rub,tuft etc
and pure, lure, duress, etc.

OOR oor ஊர் ஓர் !
We are yet to get a perfect transliteration ( reverse) for Tamizh.
