Pick of the week: 1 Mar to 5 Aug 2006

SN23 as always thanks for the details. As shankar noted, i too assumed the song to be from late 70s and imagined it for a siva/vijaykumar or muthuraman.

Shankar, some songs are from my personal collection. Remaining i get it from others.

Madhu that song is from mohana punnagai

Pick #274

Song: kaNden kalyaana pen pondra
Film: Mayor Meenakshi
Singers: PSuseela,SPB
lyrics: kannadasan
Music: MSV

A beautiful duet from an outstanding album. MM is one of my favorite late 70s MSV album.
'thirumurugan aruginile' and 'kodiviita siru' are other pickworthy songs in MM. I did not watch this film but remember my sisters nicknaming anylady with a broomstick in their hand as 'mayor meenakshi' :) I assume that was KRV's pose in the posters.
Jaishankar was her jodi? vijaykumar and sripriya the second pair? vague memories.

Hi Ramki,

thanks..
if you allow me, I may request umpteen songs, which are not at all available anywhere.. ( even I cant hear them on radio/TV )
like.. "sorgathai pArkiRen unnidam" bySPB,VJ from "avaL oru adhisayam"

Great Song Ramki!

I believe the film's hit resulted in spate of other heroine oriented films with KRV enacting the main role. This song and the 'Aval oru Pacchai Kuzhandai' (Nee oru Maharani/1976/Jai, Sujatha, Sri/SG, SPB/PS) used to be regular feature in all Tamil film song programs..

Thanks for hosting a grand song from the thespian MSV

bala

Ramki: I listened to few songs recently hosted. shocked a bit while listening to Iyarkai radangale song. TMS with such a faded voice? Was it in his last leg with lost voice?

All the more I surprised with SPB? very shrill voice in Kanden song. He was not comfortable with the starting scale and struggled throughout the song but managed with some stretching gimmicks :lol:

SPB's voice is very tender in another duet with PS. I liked that song very much.
One suggestion for SP & PS duet. Ponnanganni poothu vandhado, sema thattappankuthu song :-)

Ramki -

I simply love this tune. It always makes my list when it comes to PS-SPB compilations. Other duets by this pair that make me wistful (all longing, no sadness :wink: ) are Iyarkai Ennum, Kannanai Ninaikkaadha Naalilaiyae, Maadhamo Aavani, Pottu Vaiththa Mugamo, Siriththaai Andha Sirippil...and that's just from the 70s!
I look forward to this series (short but sweet) very much. Thanks!

Ramki: Very nice selection. Another song from MM I recall is "Evalo Oru Pennaam Adu Naan Illay.." by VJ??
rra

Hi Ramki..

what a lovely tune.. !! ( mmm.. I hv to inform about another song from the film.. which is not included in the list.."irundha nalla iru").

Neel : pottu vaitha mugamo is by SPB and Vasantha

Nice song Mun Iravu Neram. Especially the interludes are lovely.
Kanden Kalayanappen is another nice song. Thanks for the selections Ramki. Will you be presenting Kannanai Niaikkaatha Naal Illaiye? That is a song I have been longing to listen to for years.

Madhu, that wasn't me :-)

it is nice song. music by MSV?.
it has the IRish 70's style in tune and in many places.

Anyway it is so sweet....
