Hi Ramki,

Thanks a lot for listening to my request and posting my favourite song

MP

Thanks everyone :D

Pick #435

Song: isaiyin mazhaiyile
Movie: kadaikkaN paarvai
Singers : KJYesudoss, Vani Jairam
Lyrics: ?
MD: VSNarasimman
Year : 1986

VSN was one of the talented but unrecognised MD's of TFM. After making a successful debut in 'achamillai achamillai', he worked in very few movies. Allmost all of them had atleast one good song and the remaining were above average. But somehow he never made it to the top league.
I think 'paasamalargaL' was his last film in tamil. That film too had some good songs.

'kadaiKKaN paarvai' , I believe, had Pandian and iLavarasi(That should tell you the fate of the film). It had 2 other good numbers
'vizhi deepam unnai thedum'(SPB, PS) and 'aedho oru raagam'(PS).

Todays song is semiclassical piece with some good singing by VJ and KJY. Their strong classical background comes handy in singing such compositions.
This week i plan to host some of their duets(requested by RR).
Most of the songs were sourced from NeelD. A big thanks to him.

Very good song, Thanks Ramki! Strong IR Saayal, Anal thannudayo Violin interludes IR-kku semithu Vaithirundhara, Kanave Kanom. Jaladharam and Vennai-kku Badhila oru Violin enna magic Saithirukkum. Ingu than IR Veluthu Kattuvar, right interludes and right instruments.

Nalla Padal, pavam IR-in shadowil irundhu vittar. VJ at her best.

Neel Sir Ella best songs Koduthuruppar, enakku Sandhegam illai. Even though KJY-VJ gave several hits under MSV and even under IR, I am looking to hear these songs:

1. Devi Koondholo Brindhavanam, Kalloorum Pookkal Yavume (The prem guy acted - some copy song - SG)
2. Mella Pesu Megangal Kettalum ... (A fast and nice song --- by the great V Kumar)
3. Anandam Adhu Aarambam .... (I think GA)
4. Azhagana SandhangaL (Some CB film or is it SG not sure!

Hope you can host one or two of the above

Thanks
Bala

Ramki -

Classical Music Waves...Great Idea! My hope is that Neel D has included "Meenaatchi Kalyaana Vaibogamae..." in his list! One of the best dance-drama narratives in TFM!

I look forward to this week's picks!

You are welcome Ramki. It is my pleasure to share the joy of these songs.

balaji, I think VSN is still a busy artiste. I heard that when he is given a score, he goes straight to take. No rehearsals.

Thanks Neel

Ketkave Sonthashamaga Irukkiradhu. Nalla Kalaizhan Vaazhalattum. Nice to hear VSN is busy.

When artists like Srikanth Deva and D.IMann claim they are so busy that they have rush from one recording center, I always wonder why good artists are not getting rewarded and why does artists like VSN are being not used. Felt pleased to know VSN is not idle

Thanks
Bala

Bala,
azhagaana sandhangaL was already featured in POW. Check the archives.

I do not have the other 2 songs you mentioned. Neel might.

Naaz the dance drama is not included(yet).

Pick #436

Song: devan magaLo
Movie: kaatukkuLe thiruvizha
Singers : KJYesudoss, Vani Jairam
Lyrics: ?
MD: Shankar Ganesh
Year : 1985

I have never listened to this song before. Never even knew such a film existed. The song is a good one.
Though the interludes are below average the tune is quite melodious
Cinesouth says the MD is SG. I believe they are right.
According to this website the film had vijaykanth and viji and was directed by Vincent.

Ramki, mosamillai!

KJY nandra Padinallum, Vani Kuzhaindirukkirar.

Bala

Ramki -

Have not heard of this film! But that shouldn't come as a surprise. Viji and Nalini are two artistes who had so many films in a short period of time. Just the other day I was thinking of Kal Vadiyum Pookkal and Poi Kaal Kuthirai!

This is a nice mellow duet, and I think SG (when compared to the usual) konjam adukkiye vaasichchirukkaanga!

VJ-KJY also had another Pandian-Illavarasi duet! Raajaaththi Rojaapoovae Vetkam Vetkam Yaeno Innum.. from Sirai?

Is 'Kadai kaN paarvai' by VSN? I thought it was by SG :)

Very rare song and movie which I have never heard of. Nice song. Looking forward to more rare songs. :)

FM neenga sonna sariyaathane irukkum :)

Pick #437

Song: mella pesu
Movie: kaNNaadi
Singers : KJYesudoss, Vani Jairam
Lyrics: ?
MD: VKumar
Year : 1981

Thanks Bala for requesting this song(and Neel for making it available for us). indha paattai naanum matravargaLum ketka oru chance. Good one. Reminds me of some other song but edhunnu theriyalai.

According to cinesouth the film had Vijayan and Menaka in the lead.

Thanks for the song, 25 andugalukku pin Katkerien. Nalla Padal.

"pournami Neram Pavai Oru' - Palaivana Cholai padalai Ninaivu paduthum indha padal, Isai matrum Charanam ....

Palaivana cholai - released labor day 1981
Kannadi - Pongal release

So obviously SG0in kai varisai ingum!!!

Thanks Ramki

Bala

Yappa..enna arumaiyaana paattu. I thought this songs composed by SG sofar. It is exactly like their style of tune. Anyway, thanks for such nice song.

Ramki, can i request 1 song? Pls find "Enna Davam Seithen...Unnai Manam Kolla" from Kodutthu Vaittaval. Sung by TMS & PS.

Jack

is this actually a V.Kumar song? It sounds SG. Really, fantastic composition. Thank God for V.Kumar for helping us with some heartfelt songs as opposed to heavy duty and mechanical days that followed for many years after! Unfortunately instrumental extravaganzas caught the attention of the newer generation bringing many accoustic or tradition heavy melodious compossers times to oblivion

Ramki -

The duet brims with such life and joy! But the lyrics... a poem gone cuteish. The tune lingers long after the song is done...which is often the case with a VK composition.

Another catchy melody featuring VJ/ KJY (by SG this time) is: Cheppukkudam Thookippora Chellamma...

Great going, Ramki/Neel D.

Hi Ramki,

Nice song! Strange to know sung by KJ/VJ combi.

Well it reminds of 'Thanni karuthurichu kannu thavalai satham' from Ilamai oonjaladithu film.
For that matter there are many songs which resemble this.

MP

You are correct Naaz. Thanks for re-collect such nice melody. This song fm " Otthayadi Paathayile". If i am not wrong, (shankar) Ganesh i sthe hero in this movie. Nice compose by SG.

Ramki, try to make available this melody pls.

Jack

Naaz, cheppukkudam is a classic!!!

Ramki and Neel: Thanks for mellap pesu song. Listening to it after ages.
On behalf of all the pow listeners, I thank Neel again for reminding us songs which bring old memories. :)

To me the starting line is similar to KJY's
'koi gaata mei so jaata'.

Pick #438

Song: maalai poNNaana maalai
Movie: nilave malare
Singers : KJYesudoss, Vani Jairam
Lyrics: Pulamaipithan
MD: MSViswanathan
Year : 1986


This is one of my favorite song from mid 80s. That was the time when MSV and KJY started working together again after a few years break in their working relationship.
They came out with some good songs like 'ninnaiye radhiyendru', 'rasathi rosapoove', 'sari sariyene aezhu swarangalum', 'naan uLLadhai sollattumaa' etc .

Nilave malare was Nadhiya's second film in tamil and actor Rahman's first film. The film also brought back director SAC to family dramas. I believe Nadhiya did a dual role. Rajesh and baby Shalini were also in the film.
The title track by PS is the most famous song in this film. Though todays pick was aired frequently during the films release it soon faded away from the memories of listeners and radio dj's.

Idhu Rare song illaye Ramki! Nice Song, thanks

Milave Malare must be one of the last decent hits of MSV as a solo MD. The movie was irritating thanks to Shalini, but had a decent run thanks to then craze Nadhiya.

Happy Christmas Ramki and hope Orchard Street is all decorated and are you planning to attend the TOP 100 bash that OLI is preparing for?

Happy Holidays to all
Bala

one of the less heard song in NilavE malarE is 'suthanthira naatin adimaikaLE' by MV and KSC, not a bad song!

You are welcome Naaz, Ramki, balaji and jn.

mellappEsu seems to be the hit of the week. Nice to know that this rare song was holding so much charm that I did not realize until now.

FM : I think female voice in "suthanthira naatin" in PS.

Maalai Ponnana Maalai, is not an rare list. it is one the super hit listed. I remember another beautiful KJ & VJ rare, "Vaanam Sevvaanam" from "Kulir Kaala Mehangal". I think this movie is Sridar's direction. Music by Shankar-Ganesh.

Jack

Bala,

Naan spore-ai vittu vandhu 9.5 years aachu.
Are you able to listen to Oli on line? enakku
aedhu US broadcasting rules problem so no oLI for US registered ips nnu error varadhu.


Jack,
'vaanam sevvanam' was already featured in POW

'Sondhangaai vaazthi sindhu paaduvaen ' was another (average)song in this movie.
