Thanks for the memories, Loga
By SOO EWE JIN
THE Arumugam brothers, David and Loganathan, with their Afro hairstyles and unique repertoire of Malay songs, entertained Malay-sians in truly muhibbah style for more than three decades.
The Arumugam brothers wowing fans during a concert in Kuching in 2004.
On Monday morning, one voice fell silent.
Loga, the younger brother at 54, passed away at the Mount Miriam Hospital in Penang after an eight-month battle with lung cancer.
News of his ailment became public knowledge only when The Star published a report in its Monday edition, with a poignant plea from David: 揑 love my brother, and I pray and hope he gets well. I hope his fans and fellow Malaysians will pray for his fast recovery. |

Mereka terdiri anggota keluarga, sahabat serta peminat dari seluruh negara dan Singapura, termasuk isterinya, Susan Lovie, anak lelaki, Vickneswharan dan anak perempuan, Priyadarshini, serta abangnya David, yang merupakan pasangannya sebagai vokalis dalam kumpulan yang mempunyai ramai peminat itu.
Antara rakan artis kelihatan ialah Datuk DJ Dave, Accapan, Rocky Din, dan presiden Karyawan, Freddie Fernandez.

Loga, 55, meninggal dunia 11 pagi Isnin lepas di Hospital Mount Miriam di sini akibat kanser paru-paru.
Kumpulan Alleycats terkenal sejak 1970-an dan popular dengan lagu-lagu yang sehingga kini masih kedengaran di corong radio antaranya "Sekuntum Mawar Merah" dan "Andainya Aku Pergi Dulu Sebelummu".
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
tadi sempat sekodeng dari 9.10 - 9.30pm tribute to Loga -
(missed the earlier show)
semua lagu2 tu saya hafal sangat sebab suka dengar musik dia -
:music: kemanakah pergi cahaya wajahmu - cahaya wajahmu
senyumanmu sayang tak seperti dulu - oh senyumanmu
mengapakah kini ada kesangsian dihatiku yang lama rindu
tiada lain yang dapat kuberikan
hanyalah kasihku :music:
:music: tiap yang mula akan berakhir
tiada kutakut akan cubaan :music:
loga loga - alleycats music inspired a lot of people
and touched a lots of fans --
takziah - and i am sure you are missed very much! - |

Loga lives on in hearts of fans
Audrey Dermawan
GEORGE TOWN: Tears, flowers, pictures and touching tributes accompanied Loganathan Arumugam of the Alleycats, on his final journey yesterday.
Loga, as he was fondly known, was cremated at the Batu Lanchang crematorium here with more than 1,000 people, comprising family members, relatives, fellow artistes, friends and fans, bidding him farewell.
The pop icon died after a year-long battle with lung cancer at the age of 54 on Monday.
A large crowd had gathered at Loga抯 house in Tanjung Bungah as early as 8am to pay their last respects.
Many were seen wiping away tears as the casket bearing Loga抯 body was wheeled out of his house about 10am.
Although some were overcome by emotion, Loga抯 82-year-old mother, Meenambal Arumugam; his wife, Susan, 50; son Vigneshwaran, 24; and daughter Priyadashini, 20; remained calm and composed.
Loga抯 brother, David, 57, who had steered the Alleycats to great heights with him, also stayed strong.
And Loga, who was known for his zest for life and fun personality, would have approved of the poster designed by Vigneshwaran, with the words "Senyumlah Kembali |

Loga, Alleycats lambang perpaduan kaum
taken from utusan malaysia hari ni..
Loga, Alleycats lambang perpaduan kaum
BUKANLAH satu perkara yang mengejutkan jika dikatakan kumpulan Alleycats adalah ikon kumpulan muzik bukan Melayu yang punya ramai peminat daripada kalangan orang Melayu.
Malah kemerduan suara David Arumugam dan mendiang adiknya, Loga mampu meruntun hati peminat merentasi bahasa, kaum dan sempadan geografi.
Tidak juga harus dinafikan bahawa ramai daripada kalangan yang berumur 30-an, 40-an malah 50-an ke atas termasuk saya membesar dengan lagu-lagu merdu dan syahdu dendangan Alleycats.
Gabungan dua adik-beradik bersama teman-teman daripada kalangan bukan Melayu yang menubuhkan kumpulan muzik Alleycats ternyata mampu bertahan dalam industri muzik tanah air lebih tiga dekad.
Sebut sahaja dendangan lagu-lagu mereka antaranya Hingga Akhir Nanti, Sekuntum Mawar Merah Sebuah Puisi, Gerimis Senja, Seribu Bintang, Luka Lama Terguris Kembali, Noktah Terakhir, Dalam Kerinduan, Kerana, Layang-Layang Terputus Talinya, Jika Kau Bercinta Lagi, Sampaikan Salam Cintaku - semuanya menggamit naluri.
Ia juga adalah manifestasi lagu-lagu yang mempengaruhi alam percintaan sebahagian besar pasangan yang dilamun cinta dan kemudian kenangan lagu-lagu itu tetap segar apabila pasangan tadi memasuki gerbang perkahwinan.
Apa yang menarik, Alleycats adalah manifestasi bagaimana kumpulan muzik bukan Melayu yang mampu menjadi nama besar dalam industri muzik tanah air yang sebahagian besar 慿onsumernya |
