Puthu Mapillaiku - Aboorva Sagotharargal
What a funky&energetic song in the Rock'n'Roll Genre..one of my all time favourites..The chorus in the prelude with the trumpet by the side,the brilliant high octane singing of SPB..The change of scale from minor to major..a bit of bass sprinkled in between..But the best is the chromatics movement..
Note the 1st interlude where he has literally played with the notes..the chromatics keep rotating up and down giving an extra pep and also not to forget during the 2nd interlude where the Rock n roll in the background beautifully complements the chromatics..counterpoint too in the side gap
Sheer stuff of genius..
Kudos to Dilsoft of Twitter for uploading this in stereo quality..

Oru Kadhal Enbathu - Chinna Thambi Periya Thambi
This movie Gangai Amaran is credited as the MD,but then if you hear the bass line and ludes that Ilaiyaraja stamp cannot be missed..Recently GA clarified that this song alone from the movie was done by IR but his name didnt appear in the credits..Check out the video where he says such a sound can be produced only by the Maestro ..

Thanks skr for sharing such a beautiful song!. More than that , it is great to hear GA saying that he also used the same instruments, instrumentalists but that effect/impact of IR's creation didn't happen (inspite of he being always with him). It's all God's gift and really appreciate GA acknowledging it. Another interesting thing to note that eventhough IR composed this song and he was not credited, there shows Raja's love, affection he has for relations.

The anecdote by Deepan Chakravarthi about Vani Jayaram and how to get perfect pitch/sruthi is very interesting. Seems Vani Jayaram mentions singing in Subhapanthuvarali improves the pitch/sruthi. Very good information.

Thanks for the great share!

Thanks skr for sharing this great piece of info. Oru Kadhal Enbadhu is a beautiful song and when I knew it had music by Gangai Amaran couldn't believe it really. It feels really satisfying now to listen to that song knowing it was done by IR. It's great that Gangai Amaran chose to reveal that publicly, hats off to him.
