App,
I don't know when will this issue regarding "annakiliye unnai theduthe" song end, the other day in Vijay TV in a new program " Coffee with Suchi" ( A talk show hosted by Radio Mirchi Suchi, it's a nice program so far going well obviously million times better than those horrible SUN TV programs) Dancer Padma Subramanyam when asked to sing a song (as she has been a singer also especially having released an LP record on tamil Folk songs in the 70's with Malasiya Vasu as the co singer) she said many of her folk songs have come to cinema and particularly she mentioned " even Annakiliye " song was originally a folk song which she had sung and Raja liked it( not her song exactly, but that folk song in general) so much that he wanted to use it for his Annakili movie. I think RR mentioned in the Manisegaran's "Raajanna Raaja dhaan" thread about it also.
Listened and listening to "Rasathanthram" songs, IMO one of the better albums by IR except "Daasanna's" (KJY) song
(his ageing voice) all songs are very nice, a must album for all IR fans.
