In the light of new threads coming up for every major singer...one of the most deserving singers of TFM!

இந்தத் திரியைப் பார்க்கையில் மனதில் இந்தப் பாடல் சூழ்நிலைக்குப் பொருத்தமாக ஒலிக்கிறது.

ஆஹா வந்துடிச்சி ஆசையில் ஓடிவந்தேன்!

Thanks for the thread app.

I feel he is the most underrated among that generation of singers. As hubber genesis rightly pointed out (in IR section or in a PM I don't remember) one won't find many blogs/fan-sites dedicated to him in the internet when compared with others.

Not a single day passes without me listening to at least 2-3 malaysia songs. Fantastically versatile singer and simply brilliant in expressing subtle emotions. RIP sir.

Btw, App did you mean அள்ளித்தந்த பூமி அன்னையல்லவா / சொல்லித்தந்த வானம் தந்தையல்லவா in the poll or is that a different song?

Thenkizhakku cheemaiyilE is undoubtedly his best with Rahman (sung only 3 other AFAIK). Kizhakku cheemaiyilE is in fact a very unique album. Except KJY all major singers of the 70s/80s/90s (SPB/SJ/MV/PJ/Chitra/Mano) have sung in this album.

There is no Muthal Mariyaathai without Malaysia Vasudevan sir. Starting with Poongaatru Thirumbuma, Yeh Kili Irukku, Yeh Kuruvi, Vettiveru Vaasam and Yeratha Mala Mela all these evergreen earthy melodies cannot be replaced by anyone. Whenever I listen to these songs, my eyes soak in tears just remembering MV sir and the perfect emotion he conveyed in his singing. Truly a great Legend!
My very special MV sir song and it's in my all time top 10 songs and album of any language or any composer.
Poongaatru Thirumbuma? Can God get Him and NT back to earth?

No offence guys, but it does feel weird when you refer to him as Malaysia. I mean, let's say someone from India comes here and becomes famous singer. And we Malaysians refer to him as, say, India Raghu. Instead of calling him Raghu, we refer to him as India. "Wow, India rocks", "India certainly got the nuance right". "India's better than Mano, heck, even my cat is better than Mano". Weird, right?

We refer to him as Vasudevan or in full Malaysia Vasudevan. Just for you info, otherwise no objection. Keep going.

App, options too many, votes would be split considerably.

Anyway, here's my mom's fav, that ultimately became mine because...oh well....

கிராமத்து அத்தியாயம் படத்தில் வரும் "ஆத்து மேட்டுல ஒரு பாட்டு கேக்குது.." - ம.வாசுதேவன் - ஜானகி கூட்டணியில் அமைந்த ராஜாவின் பாடல்.. ஒவ்வொரு முறை கேட்கும் போதும் சொக்க வைக்கும். படத்தின் பெயருக்கேற்ப பாடலின் ஒவ்வொரு இசைக்குறிப்பும் கிராமத்து சாயலை உரித்துக் காட்டும். வெட்டி வேரு வாசம் பாடல் போல ரொம்ப நுணுக்கமான சங்கதிகள் கிடையாது. எளிமையான பாடல். ம.வாசுதேவனின் குரலை ஒத்த ஒரு நகலாக நம்மையும் பாடத் தூண்டும் ஒரு பாடல். அலுவலகத்தில் மதிய உணவுக்கு அப்புறம் மாலை வரையிலான சோர்வு தரும் நேரங்களில் இதுபோன்ற பாடல்களை கேட்டு உற்சாகம் ஏற்றிக்கொள்வது வழக்கம்.

நினைவே ஒரு சங்கிதம் - ஏத்தமையா ஏத்தம் பாடல் ம.வாசுதேவன் பாடிய தெம்மாங்கு பாடல்களில் முத்தான ஒன்று. பல்லவி, சரணங்கள் என சந்தங்கள், தாளக்கட்டுக்கள் எல்லாமே நிலத்தடி நீரை ஏத்தம் மூலம் ஏற்றி இறக்குவதற்கு ஒப்பானது. "முந்தி முந்தி வினாயகரே.. என ஆரம்பிக்கும் தொகையறாவிலிருந்து பாடல் முடியும் வரை கர்நாடக சாயல் கொஞ்சம் கூட தென்படாத பரிசுத்தமான ஒரு கிராமியப் பாடல். தெம்மாங்கு என்ற பதத்திற்கு நல்ல உதாரணம். "விஞ்ஞான காலத்தில் எல்லாமே மெஷினு, மனுஷன் மனசு கூட மெஷினாச்சி போ புள்ள!" என்ற வரிகளில் ம.வாசுதேவன் காட்டும் குரல்மொழி அருமை. பாடல் எடுக்கப் பட்ட களம் மற்றும் விஜயகாந்த்-ராதா இருவருக்கும் இடையேயான குறும்பு எல்லாமே ம.வாசுதேவன் - சித்ரா கூட்டணிக்கு அணி சேர்க்கிறது. ( வெள்ளிவிழா கண்ட படம். அதற்கான விழாவில் கமல் விஜயகாந்த்-ராதா உட்பட்ட ஏனைய கலைஞர்களுக்கு கேடயம் வழங்கி சிறப்பித்த புகைப்படங்கள் இராணி இதழில் வந்தது இப்போது ஞாபகத்திற்கு வருகிறது )

Ah! Now there's a singer who deserves all the accolades pouring in. Voted for Agaya Gangai as he brought in a very manly gentleness - as opposed to Unnikrishnan type gentleness - to luvs emotion. Rajini being the defining onscreen hero for him, it had to be a Rajini song that highlights him.

But as App has nicely prefixed in the poll options, what versatility!

[ajithfederer]

One of my fav lolaayi cum eve tease songs is from Dharmathin Thalaivan. Thagaraaru song in a thaarumaaru voice. MV/Rajni

Opening stanza is absolute nonsense :lol:. But who cares. Here is where MV/Rajni/IR create something out of nothing.

ஹே ரத்தரா
ஹே ரத்தரா
ரத்தரா!!!! ரத்தரா!!! ரத்தரா
ரத்தரா!!! ரத்தரா!!! ரத்தரா
ஹே
(MV and Rajni are just warming up until now. MV with his vocal cords and Rajni with a bottle. The beginning of insanity. Rajni's antics are, what to say:. Well basically he does what he likes and they are perfect for the song.

Jump to stanza 1
ஒத்தடி ஒத்தடி ஓரமா ஒத்தடி அம்மடி
எட்டடி துள்ளினா பத்தடி பாயுமே நம்மடி
பட்டணம் அறிஞ்ச போக்கிரி
பத்தியம் தெரிஞ்ச பக்கிரி
அட என்னோட மோதாம வாமா பாப்போமா
ஆடி தான் பாப்போமா
ரேட்டு தான் போட்டு தான் பாப்போமா

Main stanza Rajni, MV and IR are in full form.
வில்லாதி வில்லானடி எனக்கு இணையாக தான் கில்லாடி இல்லையடி
அட வெச்சாலும் வெச்சானடி உனக்கு செரியாக தன மச்சானும் ஒத்த வெடி
சொல்லணும் வந்தனம்!!!
இல்ல மூலையில் குந்தனும்!!!
மக்கு போல் நிக்கற செக்கு போல் சுத்தற சிக்கலில் சிக்கலாமா ?
அட எப்போவும் துள்ள்ற சொப்பன சுந்தரி இப்படி முழிக்கலாமா?

MV just blazes through these stanzas. Now there are nothing with the lines. You can call em stupid?. Hey but it is sung by a drunken guy, so take a walk!!. If sung by any other singer the song would be terrifically bland. MV/Rajni are a couple made in heaven. Naasthi atmosphere created. Bang at both ends. The highs and lows achieved in his singing are :thumbsup:

I guess the mAmA / mAmi songs could go to either outrageous kuRumbu or misc section.

In reality, most TF songs are multi-genre ones and it's one's perception as to what category it can be placed in. With some, there's a dominant taste and with others it's purely based on bias.

For e.g., where to place 'poongARRu thirumbumA'?

cinematic light? yes
emotional? yes
folk? yes
soft? yes

Same case for a number of songs.

'kOdai kAlakkARRE' - is it western? or the aLLiththandha bhoomi group? Can't say :-)

(மூடுபனியில் ஜானகியுடன்) (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR2064'&lang=en)

Relatively short song but quite an unusual one IMO. While 'en iniya pon nilAvE' is so well-known to the current gen, this one may not be that familiar.

A personal favourite:-) Consider this as part of the "western" category :wink:

thiraippadal link for MV (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/singer.php?SGRID=Malaysia%20Vasudevan&lang=en) that lists some 540 songs. There can be some minor errors here and there but such should be negligible.

Almost 95% are IR numbers. There may be other web resources that contain his songs from other MDs, especially Shankar Ganesh with whom he has worked for many numbers.

The MV-SG combo's 'nadaiya mAththu' (kannipparuvaththilE) (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGSHK0058'&lang=en) was such a big hit at the time of arrival. The same movie had the 'pattu vaNNa rOsAvAm' (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGSHK0060'&lang=en)which was heard in all patti-thotti of TN and popularity levels were greater than of IR songs of the exactly same period.

No confusion, this Rajendran is same as TR :-) Included AA Raj simply to be historically correct as this was the way it was advertised on posters and otherwise at the time of the movie's arrival. The lyrics were by TR and possibly the melody but the orchestra used was AA Raj's and he could have had inputs in the arrangements.

A very catchy number in an album that was a smash hit across the state. It was especially loved by students!

Not embedding the video to avoid cluttering the page with youtubes but video is mildly amusing. Rajini and Madhavi go on a trip in the streets of Chennai on a bed. Yeah, your read that right. Have not seen the film. High budget sci-fi made in 4 languages. Colossal flop I think.

Anyway the song has MV and IR in supreme form. Very very modern song, way ahead of its times.

Crap movie. Wonder what Kamal would have done with the same scene...(Nettu first half of Alavandhan parta effect-u), probably IR would have changed the melody (Mendum mendum vaa, jumcha jumcha jumcha).

One of the greatest songs / hits of MV. Ooru vittu ooru vandhu. He owns this song. Can not think of any other singer doing justice to this. The last lines in each charanam (kaadhal eedera, paadu en kooda) - brilliant rendition. And you have 'annan' dancing to this. 10/10 song.

Just a couple of kosuru infos on 'ooru vittu ooru vanthu' :

1. The movie's director, Gangai Amaran, also sings in this song. So, it's a male-male-duet with kuzhuvinar as well.

2. Such was the popularity of this song that the first line got used as the title for a later-day grAmarAjan movie -'ooru vittu ooru vanthu'. The song 'sorgamE enRAlum athu nammoorappOla varumA' from that movie has become some sort of anthem for NRI's...

First big patti-thotti-hit for MV, from my memory (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR0395'&lang=en)

ஒத்த ரூவா ஒனக்குத்தாரேன், பத்தாட்டியும் எடுத்துத் தாரேன்
(பத்ரகாளி, 1976 , ஜானகியுடன், இளையராஜா இசையில்)

As recalled in a few blogs and other articles, MV came into Chennai to act in a movie and stayed back after that. Kept trying for chances as actor / singer / artist while singing on-stage with Pavalar Brothers (Ilayaraja / Gangai Amaran / R D Bhaskar). He also befriended SPB. His first recorded song was with V Kumar it seems but the movie never came out.

MV then sang under MSV's music among a big group for Bharatha vilAs ('indhiya nAdu en veedu') followed by a solo that was popular on radio under Kunnakkudi (kAlam seyyum viLaiyAttu, movie kumAsthAvin makaL).

The badhrakALi song, however, had a much bigger scale of popularity - reverberating along patti-thottees of TN on horn speakers. Obviously it was benefited by the popularity of kEttELe ingE and got played along. Nevertheless, it reached everywhere and got retention value in the minds of people. (Everytime I hear Kannan oru kaikkuzhandhai, after the ArArirO, ArArirO in the end, my mind automatically plays the prelude of oththa roovA - to this day).

[groucho070]

Thanks Rakesh anna :)

One of my All time Fav of MV are "ஆகாய கங்கை " and "ஒரு தங்க ரதத்தில்" ! :notworthy:Quiet obvious for a Rajini fan. MV and Rajini inspearable, though I wish MV had sung for Rajini in later days. I think the last one was Singgam Ondru Purapattathe, though it was in background.

[app_engine]

MV's second patti-thotti hit was from avar enakkE sontham - surAngani (1977)

The version that's available on thiraippAdal is NOT the original one :confused: I can't relate to the trumpet sounds etc, this may be there on some cassettes / disks but not the one that was on radio when the movie arrived. That had guitar beginning and was a lot more fun.

The youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lUFTMXNzPM) (black & white, Jaishankar in the audience with a team performing this on stage, it seems MV was on screen) is the correct version that was popular and a big hit - especially among students!

Obviously it was not an IR original, it was IR's remix of (possibly) a 'poppisai pAdal' of either Srilankan or such origin.

[Nerd]

This has to be his first hit which has stood the test of time. Though I have heard the songs app_e has listed so far, they are not popular during the 90s/00s.

ராஜாவின் பாடல்களுக்கான திரியில் சென்ற வருடம் நான் பதிவு செய்ததை இங்கு மீண்டும்..

ஒரு மூடன் கதை சொன்னால்...


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAyt3YvX2mY&feature=fvw

சசிரேகா வாழ்க! நல்ல அரிதான பாடல்களை நிறைய சேகரித்து youtube-ல் வைத்திருக்கிறார்.

"நெஞ்சிலாடும் பூ ஒன்று" என்ற படமே வெளியாகாத படத்தில் ராஜாவின் அருமையான இசைக்கு ம.வாசுதேவன் பாடிய "ஒரு மூடன் கதை சொன்னால்.." இதற்கு ஒரு தலை ராகாம் படத்தின் காட்சிகளை நேர்த்தியாக சேர்த்திருக்கிறார்கள். ஆரம்ப இசையிலும், இரண்டாவது இடை இசையிலும் வரும் வீணை இசை சிறப்பு!

காதல் தோல்வியால் பெண்கள் சமூகத்தையே வெறுக்கும் காதலன்.. வரிகள் ஒவ்வொன்றும் அப்படியே comes from bottom of heart...அதுவும் ம.வாசுதேவனின் கணீர் குரலில் கோபம் கொப்பளிக்கிறது....

"கல்லை உடைத்தாலும் நீர் வரும்!
பாலைவனங்களோ அழகான பெண்களே!"
எந்த மடையனோ சொன்னான் சொர்க்கமாம்!
பெண்கள் உலகமே நரகமே!"

"ஒரு மூடன் கதை சொன்னான் என் கதை அதுதான்" என ஆரம்பம் முதல் கடைசி வரை எனக்கு இந்த வரிகளின் கட்டமைப்பு பிடித்திருக்கிறது. எதுகை மோனை இல்லாமல் அப்படியே சொல்லவெண்டிய விஷயத்தை சந்தத்தில் நெய்வது இசைக்கே தனி மதிப்பை தருகிறது...

Year 1978 possibly made MV a key singer in TFM. Like everyone else involved in that movie, MV too got a cracking start to a flourishing Kodambakkam career with 16 vayathinilE. (From that point, every actor / technician of that movie had a different level of recognition / status in the TF field, including Ilayaraja, IMO)

No wonder MV had a strong career after Attukkutti muttai ittu (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR0001'&lang=en) & sevvanthippoo mudichcha chellakkA (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR0004'&lang=en) !

BR's first six movies had great songs by MV that I can quickly recall (all MD-ed by IR) :

16V:
Attukkutti muttai ittu
sevvanthippoo mudichcha chellakkA

KPR:
malarkaLE nAdhaswarangaL
kOvil maNi Osai thannai

SR:

PV:

NMP:
Ayiram malarkaLE malarungaL

KE:

koththamallippoovE

The first BR movie without MV was nizhalgaL. MV was missed in the next two movies as well : alaigaL Oyvathillai & tik-tik-tik.

I'm not sure when BR did 'vAlibamE vA vA' with Karthik / Radha (whether before kAdhal Oviyam or after, can't remember), this had a sweet PS / MV number :

azhagE unnaikkonjam kaNkaL ezhudha vA, nenjam muzhudhum nee nee nee (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR3901'&lang=en)

BTW, Radha seems to have done max # of movies as an actor/actress with BR. (AO, TTT, VVV, KO, OKD, MM)

[app_engine]

Continuing with the BR movies :

kadhal Oviyam - can't remember any MV song. It was SPB show all the way except one lone 'un poojaikkAga Engum poovai sooRaiyAdal muRaiyO' by Deepan C

maN vAsanai has two Malaysia Vasudevan songs :

-AnandhaththEn sindhum poonjOlaiyil
-arisi kuththum akkA makaLE

AVMin pudhumaippeN (enna oru aniyAyamAna pEr for this movie)

As someone mentioned in the outset, mudhal mariyAdhai album (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/album.php?ALBID=ALBIRR00382&lang=en) could have been sAmbAr without paruppu (or at least without uppu) but for MV!

Awesome singing of all those great numbers (I chose to include two of them in the pure folk category in the poll and voted for that category) :-)

-ERatha mala mElE elantha pazhuththirukku (what a kuRumbu by Vairamuththar)
-Eh kuruvi chittukkuruvi
-poongARRu thirumbumA? (why am I reminded of that joker in mozhi each time I hear this song :shock:)
-vetti vEru vAsam vedalappuLLa nEsam

fantastic, phenomenal songs!

[app_engine]

After such a tremendous album, one would have thought that BR will use MV wholesale in the next movie (that he did with Sathyaraj; and it would have been a nice match for that hero).

Possibly IR thought otherwise and Jayachandran got the prize song of 'kodiyilE'.

IR himself sang two (dAs dAs & adi AththAdee happy version) and SPB took 'pOguthE pOguthE'.

So, MV had to be content with just one number - that too just the pathos version of 'adi AththAdee' (i.e. nee pOgum pAthai engE pon mAnE and not iLa manasonnu Rekka kattippaRakkudhu)...

[PARAMASHIVAN]

Which movie is the song "aanatha thEn katrU thaalatuthu" from ? Here I felt MV tried or sounded like "yester year Singer" Chithamparam , the one who sung "kaa kaa kaa" from NT's Film, "Parashakthi" !

MV's CSJ indulgences were quite deliberate (right from stage mimicry days) and done only rarely -possibly for curiosity / nostalgia value.

OTOH, >95% of his songs were done in his own style.

Param,
Since CSJ-isms were quite peculiar / distinct / unique while easily imitable, most mimicry artists (on stage) sing the current popular song in that "style". Not just on stage, even at private settings - my uncles, cousins - everyone did that at some point of time.

Why, when in kushi mood and nobody around (say driving alone) even I do that along with the song that's being played :-) This morning's sufferers with CSJ-ism were 'EdhO mOham EdhO dhAham' & 'EdhEdhO eNNam vaLarththEn' :lol:

I've still not come out of my BR-enmity (for-leaving-IR)! Some kochu kochu veRuppukaL in life :-) I've watched later movies of directors who chose to dump IR only under involuntary / forced circumstances (like KB, MR, BR...) neither pay regular attention to music in such movies. (Nothing against ARR, BTW)

[PARAMASHIVAN]

I've still not come out of my BR-enmity (for-leaving-IR)!

அடடே அரசியல்ல இதெல்லாம் சகஜம்பா :yessir:

[app_engine]

BR's first movie without IR was 'vEdham puthithu' and Devendran was the MD, who did a very nice job (though sounding quite similar to IR...many websites even wrongly credit those songs to IR).

MV had a nice pathOs number 'mAttu vaNdi sAlaiyilE'.
(The more popular songs from that movie were 'kaNNukkuL nooru nilavA' by SPB-KSC, 'puththam puthu Olai varum' by KSC)...

(p.s. I've seen VP and found it a ok movie)

[app_engine]

BR's next movie was with Rajinikanth-Amala, kodi paRakkuthu and the MD was Hamsaleka.

It had the SPB-KSC hit 'sElai kattum peNNukkoru'. There's one MV song with KSC that starts like 'thoNdaikkuLLE' which I've probably heard a few times on buses. The album's popularity level - despite being a Rajini movie and a star director - wasn't that high.

[app_engine]

After those two movies, BR came back to Ilayaraja - even naming the movie's title as 'en uyir thOzhan'. ellAm sari but the resultant album was just an average one by rAsA standards. (Possibly the spark / extra effort for BR was no longer there).

There were two MV numbers and both are good.

I have seen the video of 'kuyilukkuppam, kuyilukkuppam gOpuram Anadhenna' (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR0791'&lang=en) which was quite impressive. Haven't seen the movie. This song was not as much popular as its recycle in Mano's voice - thooLiyilE Ada vantha vAnaththu min viLakkE (chinna thambi)

The other song 'Eh rAsAththi' (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR0794'&lang=en) is much better with vocal harmony etc but was only moderately popular I think...

[app_engine]

The next BR movie - puthu nellu puthu nAththu - too had IR and was a better album (both the songs and the relative reception in the patti-thotti of TN where 'karuththa machchAn' was heard everywhere) but alas, no song for MV :-(

The BR-IR combo finally came back to full form in nAdOdi thenRal :-) With awesome songs!

MV had Ela mala kAttukkuLLE (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR2177'&lang=en), not a catchy number and so not as popular as others such as maNiyE maNikkuyilE / sandhana mArbilE, but a difficult number and one should listen to the excellent singing!

[app_engine]

BR-IR combo once again broke up and these two have not worked together since then.

BR did another with Hamsaleka - captain magaL (no Vijayakanth biz, Kushbu supposedly had 'enthappeNNilum illAtha onRu') - but no MV song in this :-(

BTW, I don't think I watched any BR movie that came after vEdham puthithu (oh, except nAdOdi thenRal, the lagAn-predecessor) and am not thorough with the songs and such details of those.

Most of the info on those are sourced from web.

[app_engine]

The songs that MV did for BR in the later years seems to be few here and there, unlike being a major contributor during the initial years of BR. May be more options available. May be MV got older (or quite busy in pursuits other than singing).

In any case, here're the numbers by MV for BR under ARR's baton (both I've not heard before) :

kizhakku cheemaiyilE : then kizhakku cheemaiyilE (with Chitra)
karuththammA : kAdu pottaikkAdu (with Bharathiraja)
dhAj mahAl : none
anthi manthArai : none

MV had a song in Kadal PookkaL by Deva(one of his last songs I think). o gaama o gaaama (you read that right) some gibberish. Out of the movies listed Eeranilam by Sirpy had some catchy songs. Everything else simbly waste. Pasumpon's thaamarai poovukkum thannikkum ennaikkum sandaiyE vandhadhillai (by Krishnachander - Chitra Or Sujatha dont' remember) was very popular.

K Bhagyaraj, a case of 'guruvai minjina sishyan', had been spectacularly successful for a period in TF. He started his career as assistant to Bharathiraja (also writing script / dialog etc for some movies, giving voice for the village doctor in 16 vayadhinilE, a small pattikkAttan role on screen in KPR - RadhikA'kku vazhi solluvAr - and a hapless bearer role in sigappu rOjAkkaL - gets killed inside rest room by the psychO hero) and became the hero in BR's movie pudhiya vArppukaL.

His first song as a hero, vAn mEghangaLE (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR2942'&lang=en), had the voice of none other than our Malaysia Vasudevan :-) Since then both shared a list of hits in a variety of ways, especially with KBR as director.

Let's celebrate this combo that was extremely successful in the early 80's!

[Plum]

Right app - it is neengadha ennam ondru - adhu dhaan mindla irundhudhu. ezhudahrachE suam sugamE-nu vandhuruchu. Many a slip

[app_engine]

KBR's next big hit after pudhiya vArppukaL was as a villain in 'kannipparuvaththilE'. This was a S A RajkaNNu production (who has a special place in TF history as the producer of 16 vayathinilE and also as producer of mahAnadhi - both landmark movies, it seems Kamal calls him 'mudhalALi'). KBR also did screenplay-dialog for this movie which was a big hit and the songs by Shankar-Ganesh played in every patti-thotti of TN, at times even eclipsing the contemporary IR hits.

Haven't seen the movie and so don't know who is on screen for each song (KBR or Rajesh). In any case, the big hit songs for MV were :

nadaya mAththu (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGSHK0058'&lang=en) (MV / SJ dappAnguththu with typical S-G percussions) - listen to this and one can't help but appreciate the stylish delivery of MV

pattu vaNNa rOsAvAm (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGSHK0060'&lang=en) (inspired by uchchi vaguntheduththu IMSO) - not a big fan of this number but I must acknowledge the phenomenal popularity of this number and an addition of variety to MV's kitty...

(BTW, my fav's from this album were SJ solos - adi ammAdi, one of S-G's best ever & AvAram poomEni -nalla thuLLal number)

[PARAMASHIVAN]

KBR's popularity graph was on the rise and he did his first directorial venture 'Bhama Rukmani'. (He married the co-actress in this movie, Praveena, who died within a few years and after that KBR married Poornima Jayaram). MSV was the MD and I don't think there was any MV song. ('nee oru kOdi malar koodi uruvAnavaL' by SPB-VJ had decent air time but was not a patti-thotti hit, same with the movie - it wasn't a big hit).

The next one 'suvar illAtha siththirangaL' had MV singing that sweet & energetic number 'kAdhal vaibOgamE' (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGGMN0033'&lang=en)with Janaki. Music by Gangai Amaran who perhaps had his first biggest hit song! (There are two other songs, 'Adidum OdamAi AnadhE kAdhalE' by SPB-SJ & welcome by SPB, IMO not as much popular as 'kAdhal vaibOgamE')

Thanks for clearing the confusion. I think KPK is unmistakeably MV. I just listened to it twice. It does not sound like that vetrikkodi kattu singer at all.

Also, Monalisa from Mr. Romeo has two singers. MV sings the first pallavi and the charanam and somebody else sings the rest, forgot who.

Thenkizhakku cheemaiyilE is just MV (male singer). And he sings some gibberish in minsaara kanavu. So technically only 4 MV-ARR songs.

KBR's next movie, oru kai Osai, was a big hit (what a poetic title, KBR acted as oomai in that it seems). IR supposedly refused to do music for this (because KBR told IR that he as MD is a must , movie won't be made otherwise...rAsA's policy was to refuse such movies and see if those are made or not :lol: ).

KBR-GA combo hit the jackpot with 'mouna geethangaL' - one of the biggest non-IR hits of those times. The movie itself was a smashing success (with part of the scenes appearing in Kumudam as thodarkadhai with actual movie stills and ending as 'meethi veLLiththiraiyil', thus getting the interesting story lot of popularity). The songs were allover TN - much like a typical rAsA hit (radio / teakkadai / bus / loudspeakers / recording centers / functions / thiruvizhas etc).

'dAddee dAddee O my dAddee unnaikkaNdAlE AnandhamE' in the child voice of SJ was in everyone's muNu muNuppu those days. MV sang like a responsible, at-fault-dad ('adhu pOla ammAvum nammOda kaikOrththu anbOdu viLaiyAda manam EnguthE'). The song has some nice kuRumbu ("appAkkaL sila pEru seikinRa thappaiththAn..." & "adhu enna thappu?" and the subsequent lines between the son & dad).

I have not seen the movie but read the kumudam story and with those stills, it came alive to me. I think it was a 'A' padam with Saritha the wronged-wife.

'mAdhamO mArgazhi mAdham' was another MV-SJ duet hit from this movie. The KJY-SJ number 'mookkuththippoo mElE kAththu' was extremely popular as well! (I think there was a pathos version of that too)

With MG, KBR became the numero uno director in the BO context...

[groucho070]

GA-va? I'd always thought it was SG. One of those songs where SJ was tolerable doing the kid voice.

[app_engine]

Interestingly, despite the huge success of mouna geethangaL music, I don't think KBR & GA worked together again :confused: Their prior combo of suvar illAtha siththirangaL was decent as well.

A real mystery! Or, perhaps that was KBR style - keep switching MDs to prove that he is the real stuff and others are just technicians...or, perhaps he was thrilled to be accepted by IR and kazhaRRified GA...

In any case, KBR-IR combo continued to give some nice songs to our thread nAyakan, MV in their hit combos :-)

IR, who did hero-KBR's first song with MV singing 'vAn mEghangaLE' (watch the video for some funny lip movements of Rati Agnihotri), finally joined hands with director-KBR in 'inRu pOi nALai vA'. It was only a moderate success musically. Possibly a BO hit but not to the proportion of mouna geethangaL.

MV had 3 out of 4 songs in that album (TL Maharajan, brother of Deepan Chakravarthy and s/o Trichy Loganathan of 'AsaiyE alai pOle' / 'adikkiRa kai thAn aNaikkum' did the indhi song - mEri pyAri)

MV's songs :

ammAdi chinnappAppA, reNdu kaNNAla ennappAththA (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR1138'&lang=en) (typical IR brand funny dappAnguththu, cakewalk for MV)

pala nAL Asai thirunAL Achchu (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR1141'&lang=en) (duet with PS, MV does with ease, enjoyed some radio time)

madhana mOga roopa sundari (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR1140'&lang=en) (the best song in the album, MV with SP Shailaja, IR making some MKT-style song / repeats interludes, thiraippAdal has swapped the links of this song and mEri pyAri)

KBR employed Shankar-Ganesh for his next movie darling-darling-darling (1982) where his would-be-wife Poornima acted with him and it was a successful movie. Songs were decent hits (O nenjE nee dhAn by SPB the most popular followed by azhagiya vizhikaLil aRubadhu kalaikaLum by SPB-VJ).

MV had a 'my dear my sweet darling, come hear' (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGSHK0030'&lang=en) song, which got played here and there but wasn't as popular as the other two SPB numbers.

[app_engine]

KBR came back to MV in his hugely succesful village movie where IR was the composer - thooRal ninnu pOchchu!

Interestingly, KBR also had a couple of KJY numbers which were immensely popular (& classy) as well!

thangachchangili minnum paingiLi (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR3686'&lang=en) - MV / SJ delectable number
thAlAtta nAn poRanthEn thAlE thAlElO (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR3685'&lang=en) - MV solo, thuLLal number, hero ridiculing the innocence of the heroine (who has no clue about what happens after marriage)

The biggest hit, though, was 'En sOga kathayakkELu thAikkulamE' (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR3682'&lang=en) :lol: The MV number that featured KBR in association with MN Nambiar who did a very interesting role in this movie that intro'd Sulakshana.

KBR did a very succesful movie with MSV just around the same time (most probably before 'thooRal ninnu pOchchu', someone please post if this is correct - as always my memory is poor when it comes to non-IR albums), wOh sAt din's original. Possibly the only Ambika movie I liked other than nAn pAdum pAdal. (Ofcourse she was horrible in the last scene).

Interestingly, he chose PJ as the mainstay singer and the songs were a roaring success (kavidhai arangERum nEram, thenRaladhu unnidaththil, thanam thaththanam).

Not forgetting MV, KBR-MSV combo gave him a song with VJ - 'eNNi irundhadhu eedERa' and this was a big hit as well.

See and have a hearty laugh as KBR tries to do a MGR act :

KBR's ascension reached its peak in mundhAnai mudichchu. The biggest hit in his career and not matched by any of his movies thereafter.

MV had two songs - patti thotti hits - but both mukkal / munakal type songs, one for Unni Mary combo & another for Oorvasi combo - reNdumE maRRa rakam.

kaNNaththoRakkaNum sAmee (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR2107'&lang=en) The pallavi was a recycle of 'nAn thAndA ippO dEvadass' from thanikkAttu rAjA - the Oorvasi murungaikkAi number

:lol: Good question :-)

Most of them aren't available in ANY media in my world (other than internet which is never accessed from car). One or two 'not so bad' ones sneake thru (adukku malligai, siva rAththiree and recently thEdi vandha dEvadhaiyE) but they are played only when there's no child in the car - not so much on loop however.

(It's different story altogther in my wife's lorry where at least the 5 yr old's presence is a given and the 30gb HDD there has a large selection of wholesome songs. In addition, most of the time even they don't get played as the Tom & Jerry / Madagaskar kind of DVDs rule)

I must admit that though I enjoyed a lot of MV songs those days, I didn't have him as a fav singer (SPB / KJY craze the first reason, the higher % of dappAnguththu songs that MV got the other reason)...but after seeing who came after this trio in TFM (pathetikkO pathetikku IMO), his stature has grown leaps and bounds in my reckoning :thumbsup:

chinna veedu had another MV song jAmam AkippOchchu En mAmO mAmOi (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR0536'&lang=en)not so much of a hit but our man singing effortlessly with Chitra.

No way, there are many (more than 10%) :-)

Partial list here, Rajini movies with no SPB song
(many featured MV, some without him)

16 vayathinilE (MV there, but no song for Rajini)
apoorva rAgangaL (possibly no song for Rajini)
bhairavi (TMS)
dharma yudhdham (MV)
engEyO kEtta kural (MV)

kavikkuyil (possibly no song for Rajini)

:-)

[app_engine]

Then there are some movies where SPB is featured, but not for Rajinikanth...like 'nAn vAzha vaippEn', the Rajini song is by KJY while SPB sings for Sivaji I think. (No MV in that movie, though)

nallavanukku nallavan - KJY sings for Rajini, SPB sings muththAduthE for Karthik...there is a MV song, 'namma muthalALi nalla muthalALi'...

[PARAMASHIVAN]

App anna ,

To be excat it is around 12% , based on (18/151) *100 = 11.9

18 is derived from the list you gave and 151 is the total film Rajni has acted (I think) :roll:

By the way, who was the heroine in kavikuyil ?? BTW, Pandiyan's Failure Largely due to our "sothappal Thilagam" :banghead:

[app_engine]

Plum,
I don't think chiththeeee is there in VV kAthiru, it's another "chinna veedu" kind of actress.

So, the statement that none other than Radhika got repeated by KBR seems to be correctu. Radhika featured at least on three (IPNV, PS, TK)

[PARAMASHIVAN]

and yeah "apoorva raagangal" was his debut and that was guest role so no song for him, Gayathiri did not have any song as well, I really wonder why he chose to act in such pathetic film!

[app_engine]

Param,
I don't know about the 151 that you're talking about...thiraippadal has 100 albums of Rajini and I got 18 from there. The rest may have to be listed to find out presence / absence of SPB...

BTW, most films in the pre-90's era where SPB is featured, MV also found his presence, at least one song. (e.g. aduththa vArisu, primarily SPB album, had MV doing the famous Asai nooRu vakai ; thambikku entha ooru had 'AsaikkiLiye araikkilO puLiyE' etc)...

But it is not like this with Kamal films, I can hardly remember a Kamal film without SPB, with the excemptions of "Kalyaana Raaman", "Oru Kaithiyin diary" ?? :roll:

[Nerd]

Last MV song for Rajini is Singam onru purappattadhE (Arunachalam) by Deva? MV sounded awesome and sang with great energy. Deva also came up with some nice arrangements. Mediocre/copied tune not withstanding.

And that has to be one of his last songs. His number in the 00s will be < 10 I guess. I still don't know what his last was (discounting that single line he sang in Bale Pandiya (2010)).

[app_engine]

I can hardly remember a Kamal film without SPB

Right from the list for Rajini, few examples - 16 vayathinile / apoorva rAgangaL / moonRu mudichchu.

Anyways, there are a handful of KH movies without SPB. Look at the following (out of total 83 that thiraippAdal has) :

16 vayathinilE (MV)
ALa vanthAn
apoorva rAgangaL
avaL appadiththAn
dasAvathAram

sigappu rOjAkkaL (MV)
soora samhAram
tik tik tik
unnaippOl oruvan
vasool rAjA MBBS
vEttaiyAdu viLaiyAdu

count already 24...% higher than Rajinikanth. Ofcourse, he didn't use MV in most cases here. It was himself / KJY / others

[app_engine]

We've done some recall of MV+BR & MV+KBR combo and some hits that happened during the ascension of all these three into popularity in the TF scenario.

Since Param has steered the thread toward the two biggies whose TF carrier graph's ascension somewhat coincided with the rise of MV as a star singer, it would be worthwhile to do a similar recall for their popular numbers with MV.

Let start with Kamal who got phenomenal acclaim with 16V where MV had his big initial success.

We've already talked about the two famous number in a few posts, let's get those youtubes and relish.

First, sevvanthippoo mudichcha chellakkA :

[app_engine]

The next biggies of KH that featured MV were sattam en kaiyil (TN Balu) and iLamai oonjalAdukiRadhu (Sridhar), both had Ilayaraja music.

thaNNee karuththiruchchu kaNNu thavaLa saththam kEtturuchchu (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR1096'&lang=en) of IO was a patti-thotti hit in TN, establishing MV as the most preferred singer for any such themmAngu songs for decades thereafter. The beatsly, folksy number was such a craze among schoolboys who can sing tapping the rhythm on any kind of surface available to them :lol:

kadaiththEngAyO vazhippiLLaiyAro (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR3249'&lang=en) in SEK was quite a popular number as well, on buses and tea stalls. Helped getting MV's voice etched in the minds of a generation.

That movie also had this supposedly unpicturized duet Azhakkadalil thEdiya muththu (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR3248'&lang=en) with SJ that was quite popular on radio and otherwise. Perhaps the first "soft" number for MV-KH combo...

There is this mimicry comical song mErA nAmu abdullA, Avo piyA rasagullA (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR3250'&lang=en) in SEK that had some attention as it had a number of movie names getting dished out (AttukkAra alamElu, hum kisisE kammu nahi kammu nahi), possibly the forerunner of 'nEththu rAththiri ammA' ...

கண் மலர்களின் அழைப்பிதழ், தீர்த்த கரைதனிலே போன்ற புகழ் பெற்ற பாடல்களுக்கு மத்தியில் இது காணாமல் போனது.

சிறார் பருவம். தெரு முனையில் வசித்த ஒருவரது எல்.பி ரெக்கார்டு செட்டில் அடிக்கடி தைப்பொங்கல் படப்பாடல்கள் ஒலிக்கும். ம.வாசுதேவனின் தடித்த கம்பீர குரல் காற்றை கிழித்து வரும். ஆரம்பமே ஷைலஜாவின் அழகான ஆலாபனையோடு தொடங்குகிறது. முதல் சரணம் ரொம்பப் பிடிக்கும். இதுபோன்று மெட்டமைப்பது, அதற்கான வரிகளை கட்டமைப்பது இதெல்லாம் ஆயிரத்தில் ஒன்று என்ற வகையில் நிகழக்கூடியவை. இரண்டாவது சரணத்தில் ஜானகியோடு கூட்டணி சேருகிறார் ம.வாசுதேவன். இரு இடையிசைகளிலும் நாதஸ்வர ஒலி மனதை மயக்குகிறது.

சிறார் பருவ நினைவுகளை மீட்டெடுத்த இந்தப் பாடல் தொடர்ந்து மனதில் ரீங்காரமிட்டுக்கொண்டே இருக்கிறது. ராஜாவுக்கு நன்றி!

'AhA vandhuruchchu' (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR1456'&lang=en) where MV did some voice-change to suit the 'kEnaiyan version' was a patti-thotti hit.

IOKS played a major role in bringing its pathos version 'kAdhal deepam onRu nenjilE ERRi vaiththEn' (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR1457'&lang=en) into focus and it enjoyed considerable popularity as well.

The next song that MV did for KH movie was 'engengum kaNdEnammA' (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR3762'&lang=en) of ullAsappaRavaikaL. It was not for Kamal but for comedians, singing with SPB. It's still not resolved as to who sang for VAM and who for SuruLi. (IMO, SPB sings in Suruli tone and MV doesn't do too much of mimicry here, however groucho said that SPB originally sang for thEngAi who got replaced by VAM and so his voice must be for VAM).

So, this is still open for discussion (IMO, the 'ramba pappa pappA' of 2nd interlude by the joLLu pArty is by MV) :-)

The next biggie movie for MV with KH was kadal meenkaL where he gave voice for the younger Kamal in that controversial 'madhini madhini' (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR1397'&lang=en) song. When censor objected, they changed it to 'mayile mayile' :lol: MV's voice suited Kamal to a T. Song easily brings coastal side to one's mind though not as sharply as 'thAlAttudhE vAnam'.

MV also had a song for Suman, 'enRenRum AnandhamE' (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR1393'&lang=en), the guitar / synth / violin delight and is among the poll songs on top of this thread.

I was pretty upset those days that it wasn't given to SPB but don't have such complaints anymore (after seeing tons of great compositions wasted on much lower grade singers...MV wasn't that sophi but did a very credible job).

MV-kku konjam mariyAdhai kodungappA!
Voted for soft/smooth. Allithantha boomi is supposed to be a jolly song on the surface. Keero takes his wife/son on a tour and shows the places he grew up. But the keero is a dying asthma patient. The subtle melancholy in that jolly good song was beautifully captured by IR and MV has done 110% justice. The song gives you an eerie/uneasy feeling while listening to it. But you can't stop listening to it.

[app_engine]

MV didn't feature in the initial-days-KH-movies where MSV composed. (Possibly MV was busy singing for IR / Shankar Ganesh). It was more of SPB show (e.g. ninaiththAlE inikkum which was a total SPB show. Even the Rajinikanth song -sambO siva sambO - was sung by MSV himself and not MV).

It doesn't mean MSV neglected MV - he gave him a number of songs when composing for Rajini - suppaNNa sonnAraNNA of thee, for e.g. (quoting 'AduvOmE paLLuppAduvOmE' of "subbaNNA").

So, MV-KH-MSV combo, from early days, is quite rare.

Back to MV-KH combo, the next one was in ellAm inba mayam, again music by IR (Panju Arunachalam / GN Rangarajan)...it had two songs.

One is the comical kuppamification of a carnatic song mAman voodu machchu voodu parusam pOttadhu kuchchu voodu (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR0713'&lang=en) and the other is another comical number AsaikkiLiyE burlA burlA (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR0712'&lang=en)

Both songs enjoyed some radio / teakkadai / bus / loudspeaker time...

What does burlA mean?

[app_engine]

Around this time period came 'sankarlAl' - a movie Kamal supposedly completed directing some portions after its director T N Balu died. The only movie with the title card for MD showing Ilayaraja - Gangai Amaran (each did part of the movie).

MV had two songs in it. Gangai Amaran MD-ed kasthoori mAn onRu (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR3227'&lang=en) with Janaki & another solo thEdinEn (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR3229'&lang=en) that sounds more like a GA composition as well. (I'm sure IR got credited for the SPB/SJ number 'iLangiLiyE' and GA for 'kasthoori mAn' but not sure about others).

kasthoori mAn was a radio / bus hit (as was iLangiLiyE)...

Though MV was featured in Balu Mahendra's 'moodupani' (paruva kAlangaLin kanavu with SJ for IR's 100th movie), he was left out in the BM-KH movie 'moonRam piRai'.

However, the next two numbers that MV did for Kamal were among the biggest-ever hits for MV (though not the best).

They were in SKV, a big commercial success for KH. Those songs were patti-thotti hits despite the strong 'maRRa' content in both of them. Very explicit in one, embedded as double meanings in the other :-(

Anyways, these are the songs :

'katta vaNdi katta vaNdi kAppAththa vandhavandi' (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR3178'&lang=en)(the guitar special)
&
'nilA kAyuthu nEram nalla nEram' (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR3180'&lang=en) (ties for the all-time-top-spot with 'ponmEni urukuthE' for such munakal songs in TFM, awesome orchestration BTW)

By this time, I think, KH preferred to have SPB mostly...there was a YGM movie 'uruvangaL mARalAm' that had abaswaram Ramji music and Kamal had a song 'kAmanukkukkAman', again by SPB...

After MV started his acting career, there had been further decline in the # of songs he sang for Kamal it appears :-(

After the dismal 1984, look at 1985 :

--kAthiruppadhu pAthiruppathu (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR0279'&lang=en)- practically unknown number, with SPB, from andha oru nimidam - that had every other song by SPB including the great 'siRiya paRavai siRakai virikkaththudikkiRadhE'

--NONE in Jappanil Kalyanaraman - original Kalyanaraman was 100% MV and now all SPB

--NONE in kAkkichchattai - 100% SPB

--NONE in uyarndha uLLam, like TTT of AVM...movies that followed SKV of AVM where the MV numbers reverberated everywhere in TN

There seems to be a Kamal movie called 'mangammA sabatham' as per wikipedia, don't know what songs were there, who the MD was and whether there was MV in it. (This movie title seems to be another case of reuse of an old title for a Kamal movie)

[app_engine]

SPB continued to dominate in KH movies in 1986 as well - Vikram, sippikkuL muthu, punnagai mannan...

AhA, the KB movie finally brought back MV for a Kamal film, 'mAmAvukku kudummA kudummA ada onnE onnu' (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR2898'&lang=en) what a lovely thuLLal number :-)

Jumping into the Rajini-MV alliance...

The early movies of Rajini calls for too much of research as to whether he had even songs / if so who gave pinnaNi etc. That is in the 75/76/77 years where Rajini did all kinds of roles, often with negative shades which were not granted songs on screen. Moreover, MV himself shot into prominence only after 16V of 77.

So, I'm not going to look at movies of 77 or prior. If any HCRKF has info on RK-MV songs during that period, please post in this thread.

varalARu romba mukkiyam.

From Rajini flimography in wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rajinikanth_filmography), it looks like RK did 20 movies in 1978 in all lang, including guest appearances :shock:

We've already covered 16V, IO in this thread - when discussing BR & KH.

RK heroed movies, like, Bhairavi / muLLum malarum / Priya / chathurangam / thappuththALangaL / thAi meethu saththiyam / vaNakkaththukkuriya kAthaliyE....mhoom...no MV in any of these.

Some Interesting Facts on MALAYSIA VASUDEVAN

Born in 1944 at end of 2nd world war in the coastal town of Port Dickson in Malaysia to rubber-tapper parents

Youngest after MS Gopalan (renown singer in Malaysia). Whole family is musically-inclined

At five year olds, he was imitating voices of P Susheela and Jikki

Later the whole family joined a drama troupe in Taiping, Perak and started singing and acting

Early 60s there was an advertisement asking for talents for a Malaysian production Raththa Pei to be produced in India. MV applied and was selected

22 year old MV acted as 50 year old dad

MD was GK Venketesh

Since MV was more interested in singing, a voice test was done by GKV witnessed by SJanaki and PBS

- more later

Back to Rajini-MV combo listinggu...

1980 should have been a muththirai year for this combo. 'pothuvAga emmanasu thangam' (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR2114'&lang=en)from the AVM film murattukkALai where 'thennakaththu james bondu' became a villain, was possibly the first Rajinikanth song in MGR-ish style. No question about the song becoming a patti-thotti hit in TN, it reverberated in every nook and corner through every possible medium.

I love the urumi, chorus, percussion arrangements, powerful overall orchestration & MV's enthu!

Quite a motivational number, if one cares to look at the lyrics!

[app_engine]

1980 also witnessed MV teaming up with MSV in a big way for the veththalayappOttEndi saththi konjam ERudhadi (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGOLD1671'&lang=en), huge hit song in the billA movie. (So much popular that Yuvan had to make a remix of this song for the remake of the movie with Ajith recently).

There is another song from this movie, iravum pagalum (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGOLD1667'&lang=en), a MV-VJ duet, that was not all that popular...to me it sounds like I've hardly heard it those days. Obviously, the SPB number was a lot more popular from this movie.

Then there was this 'kALi', I V Sasi movie from the same year that had the sweet adi Adu poonguyilE (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR1301'&lang=en) by MV, that further established him as one of the regular singers for Rajini :-)
