Pick #301

http://raretfm.mayyam.com/stream/pow06/dhaagame_gm.rm

Song: dhaagame undaanathe
Film: getti meLam
Singers : KJY, Uma Ramanan
lyrics: Vaali
Music: iLaiyaraja


I realised over the weekend that POW, having just crossed 300 counts, never featured a uma ramanan song before. She is one of the rare singers in TFM to have more than 95% success rate.
She has a unique voice and was fortunate to sing some of the best songs by IR. She was sparsely used by other MDs. I recently heard her song for a recent vijay film and surprisingly her voice still sounded young.

Todays song is a fine duet by the hit pair KJY and UR. Its supposedly based on
Subhapanthuvarali raagam(http://www.tfmpage.com/ci/ci3.html).

'getti meLam' is a horrible horrible film. 2.5 hrs of pure torture(Thanks to DD). Like many visu films, GM had a cluster of stars with karthik and sulakshana(not sasikala as incorrectly mentioned inthe article above) playing the lead.
GM is the only film visu worked with IR.
'amma nee kaNNamoochi aadidalaama'(UR) is another nice song from GM

Thanks for the song Ramki. Uma Ramanan has a voice thin as a silk thread, clear as an undisturbed stream combined with an unquestionable innocence. Her voice connects with the listener very easily.

Couple of other UR-KJY duets:
"kaNNanE nI vara kAththirundhEn" from Thendrale Ennai Thodu
"AththAdi Adhisayam pArththAlE paravasam" from Manaivi Sollay Mandiram

Ramki -

I don't think I have heard this song before. When was this film made?? Visu made so many so-so movies! :D
UR is a good singer, and her voice marks the midway between innocence and reticence in every song! :o

Thanks for sharing this duet.

How about her duet 'boopalam isaikkum.....' -Thooral ninnu pochu!!! My favorite is her solos 'manjal veyil......' Nandu & 'aanandha raagam ketkum.....'!! Good Old Raaja!! love, vinatha!

rare song by KJY and UR.
Naaz: raakkammaa site says it was made in 1985.
I don't remember this movie at all. :)
Other good KJY and UR duets are:
aagaaya veNNilaave (arangEtra vELai)
nee paadhi naan paadhi kaNNE (kELadi kaNmani)
With Deepan chakravarthi:
poongkadhavE thaazh thiRavaay (nizhalgaL)
With Unni Menon:
pon maane kObam yeno (okd)

Almost all her solos are popular songs.

madhu: ungalukke rombave rombath thaan ... irukkum pOdhu enakku konjam rombath thaan .... irukka koodaadha? :lol: :lol:
Ramki: Almost half the old postings( 5 0r 6 years old) are yours in MOY section. You have started threads on PBS and others. adhellaam maRandhuttu nee 6 0r 7 decades nu sollalaamaa? :P

jn,

UR with deepan (one more song- Sevvandhi pookalil seidha veedu )

rajesh: yes. adhuvum nalla song. Thanks for reminding.
