M.S. Subbulakshmi from Madurai sang at the Music Academy in Madras at the age of thirteen and became the best-known voice of Carnatic music. In 1945 she played the poet-saint Meera in the film Meera. In 1966 she became the first Indian to sing at the United Nations, and in 1998 she became the first musician to receive the Bharat Ratna. Her recording of the Suprabhatam (1963) is still played every morning in homes and temples.
