Picks 536 - 770

'velli nila pathumai' also had a Telugu version in Abhinandna 'Rangulalo' sung by by SPB & SJ which I feel is better than the tamil version.

madhu, thanks.
Jack & Priya, you are welcome.
Sanguine Sridhar, thanks for the compliment and welcome to the thread. :)
jmahesh, thanks for the details.

Pick #572

Song: adhikAlaiyil kuyil kUvuthu
Film: Thampathyam
Music: Manoj-Gyan
Singers: Mano, K.S.Chithra
Lyrics: ?
Year: 1987

Thambathyam is a slightly mellow album by Manoj-Gyan, in comparison to all the other high-energy albums they were composing at that time. The song does have a bit of a Bollywood flavor in the selection of instruments. The film starred Sivaji Ganesan and Ambika. Not sure if today's pick was picturized on them or another couple.

Pick #573

Song: ElElam kiLiyE
Film: Naan Pesa Ninaippathellam
Music: Sirpi
Singer: K.J.Yesudas
Lyrics: ?
Year: 1993

Sirpi has composed several beautiful melodies. Today's pick is one of those. He gives importance to vocals and lyrics in his songs and still manages to produce one or more melody hits in his albums amidst current trend of music that does not seem to care for vocals or lyrics.

Hi Neel:

This is the first time that I listen to KJY version of Elelam kiliye. Heard Mano + PS version, which is also beautiful. Mohini and Anand Babu acted for that duet version, which is in the climax.
Is music direction not by SA Rajkumar?

Wish you all a very happy new year.

vel1970, you may be correct. Another website credited Sirpi for this album. That is what I went by. Regardless, Sirpi composes nice old-fashioned melodies.

Pick #574

Song: iLamkanni unnai
Film: ?
Music: ?
Singer: S.Janaki
Lyrics: ?
Year: ?

A rare and exotic number by SJ. Have no other details about this song. Please share if you do.

Happy New Year!

Peace on Earth!
