Pick of the week: 1 Mar to 5 Aug 2006

one small addendum:
I added KVM not to discredit his contribution to Tamil film in 50s/60s, but to just make a point that he was a super-star MD in 70s and early 80s, while in Tamil he was more a also-ran. However we cannot forget Enipadigal, Pallandhu Vazha, Kadhal Kiligal etc..

Bala

balaji -

You approve, and I am reassured! :)

I recall that a PS/SPB duet for Satyam was featured in this thread a few months ago? "Thodangum Thodarum Puthu Uravu." (Mudisoodaa Mannan) A charming composition. Alas, my collection of songs has very few "dubbing" ditties - which is where we usually found Satyam, Chakravarthi, Ramesh Naidu...Talking of which, it would great to hear the serene PS solo from Pennukku Yaar Kaaval (MD: RN) "Kanne Kannaana Kannaa Ponnae..." which had an inspired interjection of "suvi aahaa suvi" I remember this solo fondly, although it is centuries since I heard it!
The film starred Jaya Chitra, and was a remake of the Telugu hit, Chillarakottu Chittamma. Ramki, can you send out those legendary (and resourceful) tentacles soon? :)

Naaz

Thanks for reminding that song. However if I recollect correctly that song is by SJ not PS. PS did have a solo in that movie but cannot recollect that.

Thanks fore reminding a rare jem

Hi balaji

the PS solo from "pennukku yar kaval" is
"ullathil idam kodutha thirumagane
illathai alangarukkum thirumagale"

Thanks Madhu for the advise

Indha 79-85 periodla vandha Non-IR/Non-MSV/NON-SG padalgal poda pudiyumma?

Chakravarthi isayil 'Kootathe Kizikoodu' Tamil version had some songs that used to be played frequently those days when Vaidehi K and UNSandithen were superhits.

If possible, thanks
Bala

balaji !

"katrathe kiLikoodu" was remade in tamil as "oonjaladum uravugaL"

rajdes :)

JMahesh thanks for sharing your memories on AOT. KB , sometimes, had a unique taste in chosing titles.

Bala, Naaz:
I will keep an eye on these MD's songs. I feel guilty for not featuring many KVM songs in POW.
I have been looking for 'oonjaladum uravugaL' songs for a while and also 'uLLathil oru oonjal' from 'koteeswaran magaL'

Pick #309

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

Song: bharathikku oru kaNNama
Film: Shankari
Singers : Swarna, Rajkumar Bharathi
lyrics: vaali
Music: VKumar


Thanks to NeelD for sharing this sweet melody. RB's sound very pleasant in this song and it was my favorite when it used to play in the radio.
I think 'shankari' was released in early 80's and VKumar was then working in very few films. The film had this good song and couple of PS solos(I will host them later). Saritha and shankar(i think) were the lead actors in shankari. I remember reading the review of this film but do not remember the details.

What was the last film by VK? Meendum Mahaan?

Thanks Madhu

Ramki, nice melody (however VK has repeated his interludes from his other songs, with the beginning score sounding more like the Kaalam enakku thozhan, his one of the best numbers)

However mundane lyrics by Vaali

VK we all know respected PS. But one incident I read somewhere that VK made some harsh comments that PS could not sing the way he had expected her to do, and PS cried. This happened in 79/80 not sure for which song/film...



Thanks
Bala

Hi friends,

Warm Greetings....!

AOT story like "Pattam Poochi" and just a small different is the heroine was not blind. Kamal and Jeyachitra have done good job.

Ramki, I love "ethanai Malargal Thaavum pattam poochi" from the movie Pattam Pochi. Really touched duet by TMS and SJ. Who is the MD? Chakravarthi?!

Ramki Sir, Vaaippu irunthaal thayavu seythu antha paadalai host seiyavum.

Barathikku Oru Kannamma - romba nalla, alzhagaana varigal konda paadal. Ninaivoottiyatharku Nandri.
Swarna - VK-yin manaivi enbathu uNmaiya?
