Pick #384

Song: maalai mayanginaal
Movie: inikkum iLamai
Singers : PBSrinivas, SPShailaja
Lyrics: ?
MD: Shankar Ganesh

PBS is one of the popular singers whose career went downswing after the entry of singers like SPB, KJY, JC etc. His voice was best suitable for soft characters played by Gemini Ganesan, Kalyan kumar etc. With the advent of angry heroes in the 70s his voice did not find any use with our MDs.
His only tryst with IR 'thendrale nee pesu' did not find many listeners.
How many songs did he even sing in 70's?
'Inikkum iLamai' had Sudhakar, Radhika and Vijaykanth. I believe its VK's first film.
Im not sure if LRE solo inikkum iLamai ennidam irukku is from this film.

Hi Ramki..

anyway PBS was giving his best.. reminding me of "kaatru vandhal thalai saayum" song :)
BTW "Inikkum iLamai enndiam irukku" is by VJ from the same film.

VK's first film is "Dhoorathu Idi Muzhakam"

Shankar

I guess 'engengum un vannam' is also in 70's.

Thanks ramki,
You did what you promissed. I really appreciate your effort. Yes..you are correct.."Inikkum Ilamai" is first movie for Vijaya Kanth. As Madhu said, the other nice songs in that movie "Inikkum Ilami" sung by VJ.

RR, "Engengum Ponvannam" also on 70's movie name: "Kannamma". So nice one of PBS. That song also composed by Shakar-Ganesh.

Ramki -

This one is rare for sure! I don't think I've heard this since the film's release! (was it in the film, btw?) The interlude traces one of MSV's MGR hits...any clues?
Besides the title song (Inikkum Ilamai) there was another duet I recall: "Maanaamadhuraiyile Maanthoppu Maththiyile..."(MVD/SPS or SJ?) This film was directed by M.A. Kaajaa, yes?

kaatrinilae one of VJ's best songs.... ROV - all he songs are treat for ears. thanks to Ravindran.
LV enakku gyabagam iruppathellaam kaathal vennilaa matrum revathy and arunthathi pattu....
maalai mayanginaal SPSin kuralilum oru ilamai irukku. rare combination of singers.... compared to thendralae nee pesu where I could find PBS struggling to sing the song, PBS sings this song very well.

Madhu thanks for the correction.

Naaz, i too think its by Kaja.

Song: aanandha veLLathile
Movie: aagaya thamaraigaL
Singers : SPShailaja , Malaysia Vasudevan
Lyrics: Muthulingam
MD: Gangai Amaran

Another good song with SPShailaja's cute voice. MV too sings well. I love the starting piece.
MV and SPS has not many melodious duets together. They have sung more dappankuthu songs than such pleasing numbers.

AT had Revathi, sathyaraj and Suresh. Other than this i do not have much details on this film.

Btw this is not a Shailaja week :)

SPShailaja's cute voice :) You must be joking :)
