Vani Jayaram's songs

Neel D -

Swarnamukhi, YES! That was the name I was looking for, but my memory kept presenting Yaamini Krishnamoorthi instead, and I knew she was not the dancer in this film...Thanks for lifting me out of this name (mind) game!:-)

Whenever I hear Azhagiya Kalainilave, I also hear another song in a slightly muted track in the back of my mind. It is also a song of praise, and a duet at that:
Neenga Nallaa Irukkonam Naadu Munnera, Indha Naatilulla Aezhaigalin Vazhvu Munnera...
Picturised on the immortal MGR, from the film Idhaya Kani!
I believe it was sung by LRE / Seergazhi Govindarajan? Kaettu Eththnaiyo Naalaachchu! But I still hum it to this day!
MSV lets the percussion rip in the concluding bits of the song...Abaaram!

Now let me go and delete the last line from my long post above. In hindsight, the optimism on my part seems completely misplaced! :-)

OMFG. Are you IR by any chance. If you are not, please introduce yourself to him. More than you, IR will enjoy talking to people like you. This is truly amazing. For all these years, I used to avoid listening to any Sivaji songs composed by IR (mainly because of TMS tone, its good, but too loud and could spoil your mood - sorry TMS fans, but its just my ears), but I probably need to listen to it so we know what he did in 70s and 80s. This is really great.

I am glad that the waiting didn't "kill" you!:-)
And thank you for your kind words.

I have heard one track from IR's opus, but if that sample is a touchstone for the rest of the album, I have a recommendation for you. I don't know your geographical location, but if you are somewhere in North America, I urge you to run and get your hands on a CD by Karen Young (Canadian Artiste) titled "Canticum Canticorum" It is a compilation of Religious and Secular Oratorios, produced with "medieval" authenticity. Something tells me that it will be a perfect companion (and point of comparison) for IR's Symphonic Oratorio of Thiruvasagam. Buy it - you'll be abundantly rewarded!
Email me at naaz99@yahoo.com and I will send you all the additional details!
Btw, what is OMFG?

Naaz, good write-up and a beautiful song.

Now, aquestion:
Is it proper for this site (that looks like an official site for VJ) to host MP3s...

Glad to hear that you liked the write-up and the song. Thanks!

Neel D is the best person to answer your question.

Let's make that "oh my fabulous god," shall we?!
Here's a link that might help you with the Karen Young CD:

They have ONE copy in stock...get it fast!

Good writing naaz. I liked your narration.

Small correction in your later post. Neenga nalla irukkonum was sung by TMS, S.GovindaRajan and SJ (not LRE).

Thank you for your appreciation!

And thank you also for the correction! I depend on posters like you to fill in my memory drop-outs! All I remember (I hope I am right about this...) about the Neenga Nallaa song is that it featured Vijayachandrika (or was it Udhayachandrika?) who was an "item" artiste in the 70s! :)

Dear Friends,

Can I have the thread for :

Kurinji malaril vazindha rasathai uriya thudikum udhadu irukka -

Lovely song from Azagay unnai aaradhikiren

VJ and SPB sang this song.

Can I have the thread please ?

Naaz,
VJ sang in IR's music for the film "Ponmana Chelvan". A breezy duet with Mano, "pUvAna Ettai thottu ponnAna ezuththAlE". I think this film was released sometime in the very late 80s.

app_engine,
No more mp3s.

S.Balaji,
You can contribute to the thread. I don't know if admin will allow you to have the thread :-)
