Shankar-Ganesh

Ramki,
About 'pullanguzhal' song, I had been trying to get evidence to prove that it is by SG. Two months back, I heard this song over Radio Malaysia. The announcer while playing this song told, 'one of the melodious SG had produce'. I emailed you immediately but apprently to another Ramki from TFM Mailing list.

Another beautiful song of SG -in the movie Nenjamellam neeye-the song Yaaradhu sollamal nenjallipoovathu-by VJ. Its a beautiful song.
Another song- Idayam thedinaal -in the movie (I don't remember teh name-it was a remake of Amitabh's Mukandar ka sikander, picturised on Madhavi, again sung by VJ.

VAsant-MSV was the MD for amara kaviyam(remake of MkS)-one more good song from this film is 'selvamae ore mugam parkkiren'

really love the music of sankar-ganesh. their manvasanai was really strong in the songs. unfortunately ignored becuase of the incessant tides of the IR ocean

"Alai alaiyaga.." is a tremendous composition by SG - I think in Kannodu kann.
I guess their fadeout was essentially because of identity crisis. Their compositions'style swing heavily between MSV and IR/GKV influence - SIMHO

While I appreciate a no. of S-G songs, like `unnai naan paarthadhu', `adi ammadi, chinnapponnu' and `poovinum melliya poongodi', I never considered them in the league of KVM, MSV & IR!

Analysing their exit, since S-G never had issues like `diff of opinion' with any director, producer and the like, the reason can only be personal & probably known only to them. (There are no musical reasons whatsoever as they never had any ego - proofs: 1)scoring just the BGM for Bappi lahari films 2) simply re-playing the hindi tunes with Tamil lyric for remake movies (like Neeya) and 3)lifting- like in the case of `naan dhane oru pudhukkavidhai' from Rasputin, `sorgathin vaasal inge' from Billie jean, `meghame,meghame' from hindi ghazal & ooraththerinjikkitten - just replace the word kanmani with kannamma! )

It is definitely sad to know that Ganesh suffered a blast, any such violence should be condemned vehemently!

However, TFM hasn't suffered the lack of S-G anyway, IMHO, thanks to the continuous output by many IR-clones like SAR!

one more good song by SG.
Devi Neeye Un thirukoil Mani Theepam...(Aasaikal)

eden,
SG never had any faithful producers/directors except devar films. They were no 2 in TFM upto mid 80s. Rajani opted for them when ever IR was not availble. But they were very inconsistent. Chandrabose replaced them as no 2, and that started their fading.

They have had their share of good songs. They were never made it big, but still were able to surprise with good songs. From no where, they produced a great music for idayathamarai in late 80s. They always needed godd director to extract better music from them.
