I vaguely remember a popular Hindi song (around the 90s I think, though I don’t exactly know) that has the same tune as the chorus of Hey Masthana (lyrics, whatever few words that I can recall, include ‘main naachoongi, gaaoongi’). I don’t know if its sixth sense, but my mind associates Sridevi in one of her Naagin avatars. How right is my hunch?
என்னது சரண்ராஜ் ஆ :frightened: I was hoping for Kamal or Karthik :banghead: IR has a habbit of giving Superhits songs for mokkai heroes, typical eg ராமராஜன் :rotfl:Quote:

V_S,
Some of my most pleasant boyhood memories are from that town. That's where I used to spend summer holidays each year with our (maternal) grand parents :-) Thanks to the "go-to-mom's-place-for-delivery-custom", it had my clinic of birth also. (It was crossed as well, during the "walks" :wink: )
Got distracted in the election results thread for quite some time...SPB-IR next number for the day is due...
#22 அபிஷேக நேரத்தில் அம்பாளை தரிசிக்க
அடியேன் கொடுத்து வச்சேன், ஜென்மம் அதுக்கே எடுத்து வச்சேன்
கண்ணே வா, கரையேறி வா, அம்மா தாயே வா புண்ணியம்
(அழகே உன்னை ஆராதிக்கிறேன், 1979 )
I remember the time when my cousin sang this song with the "bench thALam" of my younger bro and recorded on his panasonic player. That was a big hit with the relatives:-)
Very catchy song sung with extreme kuRumbu by SPB (and Vaalee had written the lines with extreme kuRumbu too). To this day I'm shocked that this song was allowed to be sung at such a conservative home and I'm more than convinced that the music was so powerful that people simply ignored the lines :wink: Or, alternatively, the AbAsam in the lines weren't obvious to the perusoos (very doubtful, even we boys were kind of aware that it was a "sexy" song).
In any case, this song gets played every now and then on my car until now. I haven't got any objection from my co-passengers so far and continue to getting away with it :lol:
Around the time period when IR has scored his first 100 (Balu Mahendra's 'moodupani' starring his wife and Pratap Pothen was advertised as IR's 100th, had English translation of the title within brackets as "the mist"), there was an interview or Q&A with him published in cinema express mag. This mag was published by the Indian Express / Dinamani group (not sure whether they still publish this).
One question asked was 'நீங்கள் இது வரை இசை அமைத்த பாடல்களில் உங்களுக்கு மிகவும் பிடித்தது எது?' (not exact words, but this was the sArAmsam).
IR's answer : சுத்தமான ஹம்சத்வனி ராகத்தில் அமைந்த 'மயிலே மயிலே உன் தோகை எங்கே' என்ற பாடல்.
(கடவுள் அமைத்த மேடை படத்தில் பாலுவும் ஜென்சியும் பாடியது, 1979). This is the #23 in the SPB-IR series being posted in this thread :-) To get this unusual kind of approval from IR talks a lot about the song! (Ofcourse, he wasn't that philosophical those days and it helped...had he become sAmiyAr much earlier, we would have got some unpalatable replies).
The violin(s) / chords / santoor delight, that had me following the song madly wherever it got transmitted from, is unforgettable. I don't remember how many times I rushed to radio to stay close to listen or stopped walking while on a road to enjoy or loyally get into the bus that plays this number, even though it's only 3rd or 4th in the line etc (means will not start for another 30-40 minutes). SPB sounds quite mature in this song (or made to look like that by the konjals of the co-singer). There're not many SPB-Jency duets that I can quickly recall but this one is easily the top number!
If you want to have a hearty laughter, search for the youtube of this. (I've seen only once and that was enough for a lifetime).
#24 பூப்போலே உன் புன்னகையில் பொன் உலகினைக்கண்டேனம்மா
(கவரிமான், 1979 )
One of the few IR-SPB songs that were for Sivaji (depending upon which of the three IR-SPB-Sivaji movies in 1979 that came first, this could have been even the first one). Well, this movie came first in my alphabetical order:-)
Sweet song, sung with appropriate feeling and was an instant winner with me and at home! My parents as well as most of their colleagues loved this song and it was a regular in school singing competitions etc. (I never tried singing it in front of others cause I knew I couldn't do it properly. Such a tough song but you'll realize only when trying to sing :wink:)
IIRC, there's also a pathos version of this song (obviously not the preferred one)...The happy song is not one to be missed by anyone who loves IR's music or SPB's singing!
:lol: You'd probably get, "it's like asking which child of mine I like" kinda reply. Thanks for sharing that app.Quote:

groucho,
I remember reading only two interviews (or something that can be called so) of IR in mags those days. He was known to be aloof from media during most of his heydays.
One was this and another was in Kumudam. (In which he said "Asha B may have the sweetest voice but SJ is the singer with top vidwatvam" and I was pullarichchified reading that)
I think it was around this time period (summer of 1979) that I've started the habit of reading anything about IR that appears anywhere :lol: And used to talk to everybody about that small thing (like a brief passing remark in arasu badhilkaL etc) with craze!
Why, I even remember the typo in kalkaNdu magazine (Dad Tamilvanan was in charge then) on a question about IR's 100th movie.
The question was something like 'Hasn't IR scored his century so quickly?'
The answer that was possibly given by Tamilvanan was "படவுலகின் கவாஸ்கர்".
However, what appeared on print was "பல வுலகின் கவாஸ்கர்" :lol: See, I remember that typo even today after 32 years!
(Well, just for info, Sunny was really a big hit with his first Windies tour in 1977 as a sensational batsman and was a darling for the whole country. It was years later that people started getting irritated with him, especially when he started politics and was katta pOttufying often to reach 100)
dig
kalkaNdu was published by Kumudam publications those days and had similar artwork, font, paper quality etc. It had a very decent circulation also (with its snippets, Q&A and Tamilvanan's "Sankarlal" series thuppaRiyum stories).
It had the honor of being part of a 'kiRaL' by students.
The original kuRaL is
கற்க கசடற கற்பவை கற்றபின்
நிற்க அதற்குத் தக.
The "kiRaL" was
கற்க குமுதம் கல்கண்டு கற்றபின்
விற்க பாதி விலைக்கு.
end-dig
App, as usual, super posts! Abhishega nerathil is semma kutthu, among the best of SPB in this genre. Naughtiness personified!
Some very nice bass work in this song as well, perhaps one of the differentiating factors compared to other folk songs of that time.
Dig
Talking about defunct magazines, any memories/gyan on 'Manikodi', literary magazine from the 30s?
(New thread on this in the Thamizh literature section)
End-dig
Excellent song, I almost sing this song daily! such a romantic song! Didn't know it was from moodupani. Have not seen the film , kind of want to watch it for IR+SPB+BM , but the sight of pratap may freak me out :shaking:Quote:

#25 என்னோடு பாடுங்கள் நல்வாழ்த்து பாடல்கள்
(நான் வாழ வைப்பேன், 1979 )
Another SPB-Sivaji number from the same year. For the movie that also had KJY's 'AgAyam mElE' for Rajinikanth. A sweet lead guitar / trumpet delight (almost MSV-ish) where Balu enhances a simple-looking tune with his effortless singing. (The ending "wish you many more..." part is somewhat irritating but overall a nice melodious song).
This song, IMO, was a radio-only hit unlike the 'AgAyam mElE' number which was a sensation everywhere. The general teakkadai talk was that Rajini was the bigger attraction for the movie and not Sivaji. (My cousin even told that a big group will enter the theater just in time for the Rajini scenes and leave after his best one - possibly an exaggeration as he was getting highly RK biased by this time, but underlined the contribution of Rajinikanth for the success of the movie that was a remake from Hindi). Also, by the expectations / standards we boys set for SPB & KJY, those were opposite offerings.
SPB, the thuLLal / energetic / boyish singer giving us this softie while KJY, the soft / slow / pathos kind of singer (chosen by MGR to suit his then-unclear-voice) belting out that 'adi nAn thAn Michael, adi nee thAn my girl' :shock: Anyways, it was another thiruviLaiyAdal of IR (or may be one of Sivaji).

Great write-up
there was rumor that this song "Ennodu Paadungal" was recorded using TMS voice..IR dubbed the song later SPB. Does any old Hubber remember this? Was it Manisekaran or someone else who wrote about this..
Unless I am totally imagining this
nice songs, app_eng.
good write-ups too.

Hi
Thanks I was not imagining....I did read this here in tfmpage in 2004...
Glad I still I have my chips :))

Mr. Manisekaran: Reg. the TMS-IR tiff, I recall
that the song "Ellorum Paadungal" sung by SPB in Naan Vaazha Veippen was apparently originally sung by TMS and recorded. TMS in fact played both version in front of an audience (in Sri Lanka?) and asked them to decide which one was better. This appeared I think in Kumudam. IR responded saying that he had no role in it and it was the decision of the producers. At that IR recalled earlier problems with TMS. Two songs he mentioned were "Annakiliye" and "Andapuratthil".

App, nAn nakkeeran illai(adhu vERa hubber) but unga pAttula pizhai irukku.
Sunil Gavaskar made his first WI tour in 1971 - that was his first ever tour infact; infact, that was his first ever series at home or abroad - not 1977. He made like 770 odd runs in that series, which I believe is still the Indian record for a series.
But in general, people also say now that he made his runs in West Indies in 1971 and 77 when the bowling attack was not as fearsome as later tours(only one I guess) which he didnt do that well in.
<END DIG>
Reg Poo Pole, the pathos version is an absolute favourite. More than the happy version because as usual, IR puts in some heart-tugging matter in the strings. Even at an young age whence I couldnt have understood the emotion of an estranged father to a daughter - who has reasons to hate him - it tugged some strings in the heart. You felt oddly melancholic. As my relation with IR has always been that he digs up such unknown emotions in my heart with his music, I tend to place greater value on that aspect.

Since your last was SPB+Shivaji combo, I think there was another SPB+Shivaji gem, called 'Kaalam maaralam num kadhal maaruma' . It had Shivaji and Sujatha in the song, I am sure the Movie came in late 70's and the MD being IR .
Faramau, wrong on multiple counts. It was the 80s. Vaazhkai. With Ambi chechi(sivaj-ambi chechi - must be grouch's dream combo ;-) )
Oh yes, thanks Plum. Just remembered now! Shivaji sir with massive belly romancing with the ever so slim Ambika , looked extremley Pathetic! It looked like Father - Daughter , than Lovers! :sigh2:Quote:

There is a Shivaji/Sujatha duet sung by SPB+PS? Please tell me the name of the song and the movie? I remember Shivaji hiding in some sort of Railway station and the it was raining heavily, if I remember rightly, he was wearing a brown / pink long over coat with a cow boy hat!
Folks
Did andaman kadhali had any SPB songs ?? That was Shivaji +Sujatha film right ?
BTW
Was the Following songs by SPB for Shivaji Or MGR
1) Devathai oru devathai - SPB +SJ
2) engengo sellum en ennangal - SPB+SJ
Plum,
Thanks for correcting my blunder on Sunny (1971 to 1977 is FF by 6 years, what was I thinking).
Param,
Andhaman kadhali was by MSV, it had two great songs both KJY-VJ combo (andhamAnaippArungaL azhagu & ninaivAlE silai seydhu unakkAka vaiththEn), don't recall any other number SPB or otherwise
dEvathai & engengO are from pattAkkaththi Bairavan (1979 Sivaji movie) and will be covered in this thread :-)
Balaji, Thanks for the TMS info on ennOdu pAdungaL!
App anna,
I think I got the song i was after, it was from Annan Oru kovil with Shivaji . The song is Naalu Pakkam, and the MD was MSV, not IR :oops:
Here is the song http://www.dishant.com/album/annan-oru-koil.html
#26 திருத்தேரில் வரும் சிலையோ
(நான் வாழ வைப்பேன், 1979 )
Another SPB-PS duet for the year. Another song for Sivaji. Another MSV-ish song by IR.
However, by this time we identified the song positively as Raja's - some ingradients started showing, like the guitar prelude. Or, may be the violin arrangements that were more pleasant than that of Joseph Krishna's. Or the santoor sound that was used for the call-response in the pallavi. Or the konjum sounds of flute.
Regarding SPB-PS, definite akkA-thambi category in my book :wink:
I don't remember the video (possibly seen on youtube some portions but cannot recall). However, read in tfmpage and elsewhere about the silai v/s thEr thingy :lol:
On the nostalgic perspective, this is another IOKS reminder :cry2: and a 70's summer evening reminder! Very popular on radio!
Another Gem! :thumbsup:Quote:

Another Song of Shivaji with Nadhiya as his daughter, I think it is called 'Anbulla appa'. It had a song by SPB where he will be talking and singing for Shivaji, and the Laugh, Cute gigglesonly possible by SPB!
I am absolutely in love with Azhagu Ayiram .... What a song .. ;))Quote:

From the discussion in the other thread, they booked Rajini when he was still up and coming, and by the time they shot this Rajini had become hot stuff. So they had to wait for him, and Rajini did his part.
Actually, I always thought(and mentioned in hub before) that Rajini should have played hero with NT doing michael.
Was it not the same with Kamal / Rajni film as well :huh: BTW I also liked Rajni scenes more than Shivaji scenes !Quote:

90s aa? Yenna koduma Paramashivan sir! Even as recent as 2009, there was a Kannada movie called Nannavanu that features three songs by SPB - one lovely romantic duet and two power-packed solos (especially Om Shivoham, what a folksy-treat!)
Last Thamizh song from the IR+SPB combo? Hmm, you got me thinking now!
சார் நான் கேட்டது தமிழ் பாட்டை பற்றி :) ஓம் ஷிவோஹம் பாட்டை கன்னடாவில் SPB பாடிநார ?? :shock: Link Pls !Quote:
