Pick #361

Song: radhi devi sannidhiyil
Movie: oru veedu oru ulagam
Singers : TLMaharajan, BSSasirekha
Lyrics: kaNNadasan
MD: MSViswanathan
Whenever i think of TLM songs, todays pick always tops the list. Though he has sung many songs and though todays pick is a popular number, i couldn't pick anyother as this is his best.
An excellent composition from isaimannar for an excellent film.
The rare combination of singers gives the song a unique touch.
OVOU is a fantastic film with superb acting by Shobha and Srikanth.
The song appears in the background as the newly wed couple
shobha and vijaybabu frolick in the shores of the ocean, enjoying the nature and celebrating their honeymoon.
TLM , one of Tiruchi Loganathan's sons made his debut as a child singer in thiruvarutchelvar. His ability to match the voice range
of TMS was beyond his age. As an adult he has a unique voice.
This could be one of the reasons for him not singing many songs in TFM. IR and MSV used him sporadically. His last song with IR is 'andhi mazhai megam'(i think).
Thanks to ARR, he became famous again with 'nee kattum selai madippile' . Since then he has sung few more numbers for ARR among which I love his song in Desam with Hariharan.

Pick #362

Song: kayatha kaanagathe
Movie: velundu vinaiyillai
Singer : Deepan Chakravarthy
Lyrics: ?
MD: MSViswanathan
Deepan was the luckiest among the sons of Tiruchi Loganathan .
Not only he got to sing some good songs by IR, he also got to act in films(though that was a bad decision :) ).
He has a decent voice and IR exploited it well. Among the songs he sang for IR, i would rate 'poojaikkaga vaazhum' from kadhal oviyam as his best.
Todays pick, originally sung by the great TRMahalingam in srivaLLi, is not an easy number to reproduce. DC does it really well. I'm not sure in what sequence this song is used in the film.Hopefully not a comedy scene. The original is my fathers favorite. He likes very few
film songs and this is one of them.
Thanks to NeelD for sending this rare song
