Jack,
Now that you mentioned it, I do remember MV composing music for "Samanthipoo".

Jack,
Now that you mentioned it, I do remember MV composing music for "Samanthipoo".
Neel D -
Annaiyaaga Maaravaa, as you say, was quite popular when Marumagal was released. It is an enchanting song (Revathy Sivajiyin Annaiyaaga Maaruvadhu...stretch?) and CB does a nice Ravindra Jain!
Now that Saamandhippoo has been mentioned, I recall a nice duet from that film: "Maalai Vaelai Rathi Maaran Poojai..." SPS-MVD?
Listening to Kaadhal Sorkkam for the first time. Interesting tune, uninteresting interludes.
Talking of rare SJ songs, here is a duet (with PJC) that I'd like to listen to...
"Paavai Idhazh Thaenmaadhulai, Kannangalo Senththaamarai..."
(a later S-G tune that somewhat resembled the above (by the same singers?) was Sandhanap Punnagai Sindhidum Maenagai...ring a bell?)
Hi Naaz..
I think "mAlai vELai" is SPB, SPS and MD is ofcourse MV :P
madhu -
Forgive my memory...that I get 45-50% of the data right is something of a jackpot! :) I am glad that you recall that duet!

Naaz,
I got an email from someone mentioning the Hindi original of "Marumagal". I am amazed at how you all can remember all these details. However, I think I like Tamil Marumagal songs much better.
Neel D -
My memory is so hopeless, I have to edit my posts a couple of times!
POTW creates these interesting puzzles for me, a sort of song trace Sudoku, where one detail leads to (semi)total recall, or prompts another needle-in-a-haystack search!
CBs tunes were certainly lively, if simple. RJ, on the other hand, had a certain structure in arrangement from which he seldom deviated. Smooth flutes and orchestral sweeps, but always reminiscent of an earlier tune by him.
madhu -
Is Poonthottam, Poovil Pennin Jaadaigal... a solo by SPS?
Look where Maalai Vaelai brought me!! :lol:

Song: nAnO kaN pArththEn
Film: Puthiyavan
Singers: K.J.Yesudas
Lyricist: ?
MD: V.S.Narasimhan
Year: 1984
V.S.Narasimhan made his debut as a music director in "Achamillai
Achamillai". The rustic songs from that film became very popular. But
after that VSN composed mostly modern and westernized tunes. He was a
breath of fresh air in the mid 80s that was dominated by IR and TR.
Following his successful debut, VSN composed music for films such as
"Puthiyavan", "Kalyana Agathigal", "Ayiram Pookkal Malarattum",
"Kadaikkan Paarvai", and a few more not so popular films. His career as
an MD slowed down in the early 90s. VSN is a highly skilled violinist,
both in Indian and Western genres, and is a well respected artiste
still in demand in the music industry.
"nAnO kaN pArththEn" is a simple but lovely composition by
V.S.Narasimhan. He uses various instruments but in a limited manner and
creates a song you can shake your head to, while Yesudas's smooth voice
rubs you like a feather. The lyrics start off well with a nice pallavi
but the charanams are ordinary.
"Puthiyavan" starred Murali and Anita, directed by Ameerjan (or is it
Ameer John?) whom I believe was a product of K.Balachandar school.
Ameerjan directed the big hit "Poo Vilangu" which launched the
successful career of Murali, the eternal college student.
Other popular songs from Puthiyavan are "thEn mazaiyilE dhinam", and
"kaNNE kalar kalarA".

lyrics were by vairamuthu
PUTHIYAVAN song totally puthusu. I have never heard this song, as well i haven heard about such movie. For me, this song is extremly rare piece. Thank you somuch for post such nice song.
Jack
Neel D -
An inspired pick! A good and not often heard solo by KJY... thanks for bringing it here! I think I saw Pudhiyavan when it was released, but I don't remember a thing about the film!
VSN was far ahead of the game (compared to the current B-graders...I mean, was VSN not light years ahead of Vidyasagar, Deva and Co.?) I believe that VSN was a casualty of industry politics, but to his credit, 80% of his songs were hits, and one can only imagine what wonders would have come had he been allowed to flourish...
Was "Isaiyin Mazhaiyile, Undhan Idhayam Nanaiyavae..." by VSN?
Thanks Rajesh, Jack and Naaz.
Yes, "isaiyin mazailyilE" is by VSN for the film "Kadaikkan Paarvai".

Song: Osai koduththa
Film: Gnaana Kuzhandhai
Singer: P.Susheela
Lyrics: ?
Music: K.V.Mahadevan
Year: 1979
K.V.Mahadevan and P.Susheela together bring us another powerful
semiclassical in "Osai koduththa nAyagiyE". A high energy composition
with all the classic elements of KVM, and PS effortlessly grabs it and
goes to town with it. The song was very popular at the time it
released. For whatever reason the song is not heard as often as some of
the classics such as "maRainthirunthE pArkkum", "nalamthAnA", "mannavan
vanthAnadi", "kOmAthA", etc. May be because the film did not fare as
well as the others, or may be the actor in the song sequence was not a
big name like Padmini/Savithiri/K.R.Vijaya.
I watched "Gnaana Kuzhanthai" few years ago but cannot remember the
story. I think there was more than one story in the film. There were
many actors. I always wondered how they managed to pay such a huge cast
in all those devotional and historical films. However, the best part of
those films is the abundance of beautiful semicalssical songs.
http://tfmpage.com/stream/pow07/osai_koduththa.rm
wonderful pick
very powerful rendition by PS
b'ful composition by KVM
Amazing pick. btw, the raga is Revathi.
Neel D -
How easily PS fills the role of Osai Koduththa Naayagi! A great performance, and thanks for bringing it to our ears!
Thank you Rajesh/Nitya/Naaz.
Hi Neel, Osai song link work paNNa villai. For me only? Can you please check?
Both solos by PS are for Baby Sudha (VaruvAn vadivElan Fame) who acted as Thirugnana Sambandhar. For Osai kodatha song, Goddess PAravathi (V.Nirmala) and Lord Shiva (who else Gemini) dance. Nirmala did well, but GG with his thondhi and thoppai hahahaha.
PS excels very well in this tough song. Esp, lines starting from kAnchi padhiyinil are very difficult, in my opinion.
most songs links here not working for me too RR :(
Osai kodutha..wonderful pick
GG mirudangam first( big wig) then shiva dance :rotfl:
Back after the short break :)

Pick #475
Song: jodi nadhigal
Movie: anbe Odi vaa
Singer: SPB
MD: IR
What can I say... Splendid interludes, and of course soul-stirring SPB.

Pick #476
Song: poovum pottum inge
Movie: Sorkkam Naragam
Singer: TMS, PS
MD: Sankar-Ganesh
I watched this movie several years ago in a dabba theatre in my hometown. Fatafat & Padmapriya are friends. Padmapriya will profess that a lady can make or destroy a family but Fatafat will not buy it. Later Fatafat will marry 'nice guy' Sivakumar and Padmapriya will marry 'drunkard' Vijayakumar. You can guess the remaining: Sivakumar will slowly become a drunkard because of the always-doubting fatafat, and Vijayakumar will thirunthify due to PP's devotion & kindness, etc. Finally FF realises her mistakes and all ends well.
This song is for vijayakumar & PP after vijayakumar becomes a good guy. Other hits song from this movie is 'sandhega kodu' (TMS).
Was it by Devar films?
Listen: http://tfmpage.com/stream/pow07/poovum_sn.rm
Very nice song. Sounds a little Mumbai-ish. Been a long time since I heard it. Thanks RR.
Too sad both Fatafat and Padmapriya have passed on.
thanks for the pick
the best song from sorgam naraam is the folkish duet by PS & TMS
yes - Mallu vetti madichu kattum machan oru mayilakala .. superb rendition and nice beat by SG

Pick #477
Song: ninaithaal inikkum
Movie: Kalyana Raman
Singer: SJ
MD: IR
Year: 1981
A song that went rather unnoticed amidst the other IR hits during this period. I always wonder how SJ would have sung it during the recording. I believe the scene would've been just like in the pic :)
http://tfmpage.com/stream/pow07/ninaithal_kr.rm
Really Good song
Janaki only could sing such a song.
Recollect my boyhood with this song.
Thanks
Wow...simply beautiful song. I can re-collect my memory of Kalyana Raman releasing time, i guess it was 1979very 1st day of the release me & my friend went to Alankar Theatre early in the morning queue up for 1st show. we were the last person who get the ticket at the counter. After us, House Full board was hang on the counter. Wow..very amaging moment. Thanks for post such great song.
Jack
Nice song. Considering the technical limitations of the time I really admire the quality of the work the musicians, technicians and singers produced those days.
Pick #478
Song: puRA reNdu
Film: Kuppaththu Ponnu
Singers: S.P.Balasubramanyam, S.Janaki
Lyrics: ?
MD: Shyam
Year: 1982
This is a pick by Neel. He writes:
A modern and light love duet, very typical of Shyam's many other duets.
Short little hummings sprinkled throughout the song, chorus bits, the
bongos that softly embrace the song all the way through, and the
violins that provide the base for the entire song, beautiful lyrics
saying the usual things in a whole new style, SPB and SJ at their best
- altogether this is one of my favorite songs.
"Kuppaththu Ponnu" apparently had Prem (Krodham fame?) and Rani Padmini
in the lead. Not the first time some obscure film had the privilege of featuring such a wonderful song.
http://tfmpage.com/stream/pow07/pura_rendu.rm
Dear RR,
Superb song. This song is one of my longtime favourite. SPB & SJ never fails to give their best in any songs. This song is also one of them. I can say, this is the best pick of recent days collections. Keep it up friend.
Jack
Neel D -
Absolute Revival!
"Anaiththaal Eriyum Ithu Kaama Deepam" - A paradox to sink into; a delicious example of word play. And then some. :D
More!!
