Pick of the Week: Aug 2006 - Sep 2007

சித்தப்பா நீங்களே பயந்தால் பச்ச புள்ள என் நிலமை என்னவென்று நீங்களே யூகித்துக்கொள்ளுங்கள் :)

Thanks RC. Yes, there is a kadhambam song with BSS & ?, and then a solo by SJ.

Pick #503

Song: azagiya thirumugam
Film: Paadhapoojai
Music: Jaya-Vijaya
Singer: Vani Jairam
Lyrics: ?
Year: 1974

I believe that Jaya-Vijaya are two men. That is how much know about them. "azagiya thirumugam", its other version, and the wonderful duet "ha! sugam sugam ithu" by TMS & VJ are all lovely songs from "Paadhapoojai". But don't know why Jaya-Vijaya did not become famous.

Last year when VJ was in New York at a convention, a lady doctor came and talked to VJ and kept praising her performance in "sugam sugam ithu" the whole time. I don't think she talked about anything else.

In "azagiya thirumugam" VJ proves, again, that she is one powerhouse of a singer. This song is the solo version of a somewhat popular duet known by another opening line. You have to listen to the song to find that out.

Neel D:

Yes, Jayan and Vijayan (Jaya-Vijaya) are two people. They are twin brothers. IMO, their greatest film song was "nakshathRa dheepangaL thiLangi..." from the the Malayalam movie "niRakudam"

They are the ones who first introduced KJY to his guru Chembai Vaidyanadha Bhagavathar.

Usha,
You are welcome. Yes, the duet is by PS & VJ, and that is the song I was hinting.

raagadevan,
Thanks for the link. Now I know more about Jaya-Vijaya. Though they enjoy singing, I wish they had composed more film songs. I have not heard "nakshatRa dheepangaL". But I have heard their "manju pozhiyunnu" sung by VJ. It is a classic.

Neel D:

Here is "nakshathRa dheepangaL..."

HI Neel..

I think this tune comes 3 times in the film..
and this one comes during Jaya's wedding arrangements.. ( Jaya after all azhugai... "thayumillai thandhai illai :cry3: "

dances in loooong maxi.. :mrgreen: .. )

Shanmugapriya was also by Jaya-vijaya ! ( But only LRE and PS I think.. no VJ )

( mudhalil adhu reNdu ladies appadinnu ninaichukittu irundhEn :oops: )

Nice pick Neel D. beautiful tune with VJ in arumaiyaana kuralil. The music preludes some where Shankar-Ganesh,MSV even VK. whatever one of the everlasting song. I have 1st time heard about Jaya-Vijaya.

Thanks for your information about my required song "Kalyana Maalai", i got it now.

Jack

One more info connected with Jaya- Vijaya is the Malayalam/Tamil actor Manoj.K.Jayan (better known as Urvashi's husband) is the son of Jayan.
