Yes, definitely, because heard this song so many times, but this word happens for a fraction of second, so it is very easy to escape our ears, but their 'thoondil' is so powerful that they caught this. :smile:Quote:

The hero's also wore such ridiculous costumes while the parents wore dhotis and 'kadhar' jibbas. IIRC, the Telugu original was a Krishnam Raju movie titled 'Kathula Ratiah'.
Thanks Suresh, that sort of brightens up my day a bit...like his costume :lol2:
:shock: :shock: :shock: which song pls ?? I just can't believe this! :shock:Quote:

The very beginning of this song brings that old world charm. Places one on an instant time machine to reach late 70's / radio era / IOKS evenings etc!
What a coherent beauty in SPB's voice, nice tablA and sweet strings! The songs that I love most have always had that smoothest transition from saraNam back to pallavi (or interlude to saraNam). This one is a quintessential example. Even the lyric is written in a way that the end of the saraNam has some enticing thing stating which the boy calls the girl, like, "iNAinthu makizha -vA pon mayilE". Very nice saraNam melody - begins kind of slow, gets some instrumental help as call-response, then picks up the pace with some quick syllables and finally - like a "uRichcha gnArippoovan into mouth" rolls back to pallavi.
Magic!

App - Lovely pick in Vaa Pon Mayile, my favorite from Poonthalir. I too love the way the saranam joins the pallavi as pointed out by you. Can keep listening to this song forever in loop.
Genesis - Priya released in 1978 as per rakkamma.com and so is before PKB.

Kind of smooth-jazz-like number sung by the brother-sister pair (SPB/SPS). I remember someone complaining in tfmpage about the higher levels in recording for the instruments. Personally, I found the "marakas" sound somewhat loud during the radio days (or some equivalent instrument that produces the high frequency rhythm sound).
The song overall, though, is a soft & sweet one, especially the humming parts are lovable. Lead guitar is freely used in the song and so was possibly the "key board". The instrumental postlude followed by the humming harmony of the voices is quite enjoyable - one would initially think that there's going to be another stanza but the song ends.
It was a regular on radio and was among the early popular numbers of Shailaja. Helped by her brother's popularity as well as a unique voice / way of singing, Shailaja had possibly a hundred hits or so in her career (and a big % of them came under IR's baton). I remember reading a kumudam feature where Shailaja & Jency met together and shared their TFM field experiences, a treat to read those days (don't remember which year). At that point of time, Shailaja had already crossed her 100 in movie songs while Jency didn't and that count-compare was part of their conversation. Along with chinnappuRa onRu, this was SPS's second number for the year with SPB / IR.
I'll write about the third number tomorrow, one of her very best :wink:

Though I like SPS voice, I liked Jency's voice more :)

(ரோசாப்பூ ரவிக்கைக்காரி, 1979 )
We've arrived at the last movie of 1979 in the IR/SPB combo (i.e. alphabetically). This was a movie by Devaraj-Mohan, the same director pair that did IR's first one, with the same Sivakumar. Advertised as Sivakumar's 100th, this was a successful movie - though he didn't have a "heroic" role. It had fantastic songs, all four of them, with SPB in 50% of them. (non-SPB songs 'were veththala veththala veththalayO' by MV and 'ennuLLil engO Engum geetham' by VJ).
Today's song, along with the other mAmEin song of murattukkALai is easily among my top 10 SPS songs. (rAsAvE onna nAn, vAn pOlE vaNNam koNdu, EthO kanavukaL ninaivukaL, sAmakkOzhi, sOlaikkuyilE, Ayiram malargaLE should all automatically find their places with veeraiyA veeraiyA a prospect).
With the excellent nAttuppuRa humming start, SPS sounds so native to a TN village. She is amazing through out the song as a native and SPB provides nice support. Raja is in his "comfort zone" of country drums, morsing, kuRumbu sounds by solo instruments etc, the tune being most pleasant in the 'malligappoo vAsam, En mAmen mEla veesum' part :-)
RR songs were a rage in all territories - radio, functions (both box speaker & kOlambi speaker kinds), buses and tea-shops. An album with a heady mix of emotions!
I was almost certain app is going to go past RR without featuring any song from it. Great Relief!!
RR was way ahead of it's time and it was a controversial adult movie from that era. Me and my brother are generally taken along to movies with my mom. But we are left to the care of some neighbors when my mom went to see this one. We both were elementary school kids and I am almost certain we would have not liked this movie. (We mostly cared whether there any flight sequences in the movie. If not, it is not worth watching the movie at all).
SPJ singing is great in this song!!
One question to app... What is the reason you feature "matter" songs on every Friday? We had "Ilamai Enum Poongaatru" last week.

So you have watched all other Rajini movies? Come on, this is a must watch for any Rajini or K. Balachander fans, mate. In fact I rate this higher than Aval Appadithan, in the so-called "serious" kinda category.Quote:

Athuvaraikkin, okay actor-a nenechittirunthe naama, he's a damned good actor-nu rank panna vachathe intha padamthaan. The scene of him beating the crap out of the union leader with cycle chain is haunting, for me at least. So brutal, though you don't see much injury or blood. Sorry for digression guys, but this is Raghu's thread and I hope he doesn't mind occasional veering offs like this.
Those were times when children were strictly forbidden for "A" rated movies. I think the satellite TV network killed all that discipline. (I remember Sun TV showing 'sigappu rOjAkkaL' during day time :shock:)Quote:

#37 உச்சி வகுந்தெடுத்து பிச்சிப்பூ வச்ச கிளி
(ரோசாப்பூ ரவிக்கைக்காரி, 1979 )
We're coming to the conclusion of IR-SPB 70's hits with this glorious number. Like I mentioned earlier, none of this combo songs of 1979 was a dud -they were at least radio-only-hits!
Technically speaking, this song also has SPS with her brother (the AreerArO humming of first interlude is credited to her). However, by the time the song progresses with SPB doing all great things, one forgets there's even a female voice in the song. The udukkai sound along with SPB's rArArArA humming in 3rd interlude is pullarippu stuff - then & now. Actually, the moment the prelude starts, one gets silirppu - what a grand combo or morsing, bass, flute and then lead guitar! Raja had already mastered the art of pizhinjifying hearts with his music, so early in his career!
By this time, I've started reading short stories as well as thodarkadhais of AV/Kumudam along with their movie reviews and the story of the movie was somewhat known when listening to the song (Obviously, I wasn't fully familiar with "details" of what marital infidelity involves...all that we teens knew then was hugging / kissing were allowed only for hero / heroine or husband / wife. Most used to think that a man simply tying a yellow thread to a woman will result in the miracle of a child :wink:).
So, for most part, the meaning of this song wasn't well-understood but the sweetness of music and SPB's perfect emoting made this song such a sensational favourtite among all age groups!
Classic / evergreen song!

app,
Superb effort and writing. Do continue. You have a huge task ahead in the 80s. I am sure you next quarter or half year is booked :)
App,
I appreciate your tremendous dedication and effort in reviving this thread. :clap: Through you we already saw how IR's musical journey started and flourished in 70's and got to hear many beautiful gems in that period. Thanks a lot!
Splendid effort App :clap: Your posts invoking nostalgia is as sweet as listening to those unforgettable songs.
wow! app_eng rocks

#38 காட்டில் ஒரு சிங்கக்குட்டியாம்
(அன்புக்கு நான் அடிமை, 1980 )
Alphabetically the first movie of the 80's where IR & SPB worked together. Another Devar films movie with Rajinikanth & IR. Being Devar films, animal references were inevitable and this song features lion cub, though not literally referring to one. I remember seeing posters of this movie where Rajini is shown with a leopard (is it really there in the movie?). In any case, another forest related movie I think.
Raja introduces "sounds" from some new toys (ofcourse, synth. Now don't tell me he got spoilt with synth only after the arrival of later day whiz-kids :wink:). The prelude itself has that vague-chipmunk-like sound which continues thru out the song (in the pallavi, that sound is the response to SPB's singing). One can also hear some wild-animal sounds here and there in the song.
Nevertheless, a sweet / simple tune and some cheerful singing by SPB. I've posted in another thread that IR gets some extra thrill when someone asks him to tell a story thru a song and this is one of them. (Another similar one with strange sounds that quickly comes to mind is the 'narikkadhai' by Kamal -Sridevi in moonRAm piRai).
Well, it won't be unfair to say that IR got inspired by some prior-era masters in this area (poo poovA paRandhu pOgum pattuppoochchi akkA by MSV in dhikkuththeriyAtha kAttil, kadavuL amaiththu vaiththa mEdai by the mellisai mannar again in AOT come to mind immediately).
The song was very popular - both on radio and other media (adhAvadhu teakkadai, horn speaker, bus etc). The movie's popularity and 'by-this-time-super-star-titled-hero' too helped in getting the song a wider reach. I think a real-life-black-belt acted as the villain in this movie (and you know how he would've got battered on screen by the charming hero :wink: )
Enna app, appo padam ellam parkurathillaiya? ANA is one of those rare animal-ess Devar films of that time. No, I don't remember any Leopard. Raasi-kaaga poster-la pOturuppangga. Karate mani's debut I think? Rajini impersonates a cop in a village, the very cop to be there was actually his long lost brother whom he "killed" on the way there.
Anyway, can't wait for the duet. :smile:
Oh yeah I have seen this in Telugu as well with Rajini himself(I think Chakravarthy took over the music though). One of those watched-many-times-in-theatre movies.
The songs were taken-for-granted hits. kAthOdu poo urasa is a lovely, lovely song, a rare SPB-Suseela one under IR.
App, what you are doing is tilting me further towards "70s Raja is the greatest" position. Somehow, I feel, the sheer magic in those songs is unreplicable even by Raja of 80s, 90s and now, gigantic greats as these later songs are, they still dont match up.
What? Totally different music/song in Telugu?
A different cast(bar Rajini) as well. I cant remember the songs but I vaguely remember anodyne stuff - most likely not Raja. Chakravarthy was an educated guess - given the time period, he was the most likely candidate so adichchu vuttEn ;-)
