தவறு.

70-களில் மிகச்சிறிய குக்கிராமங்களில் கூட ஆராதனா, பாபி மற்றும் யாதோன் கி பாராத் பாட்டுகள் முழங்கின என்பது வரலாற்று உண்மை :-)

It's true that TFM itself didn't have as much "dumping" or "deeper reach" as in IR-era (bus / teakkadai / recording center / home cassette players etc). It was limited to radio & functions, apart from movie theaters. And in all those places, hindi songs had as much presence as TFM. (Political / election meetings were possible exceptions)

Ofcourse HFM (& "western") were undisputed leaders with the above-middle class & the rich. They felt it was "low-class" to be associated with TFM songs those days, in my personal observation.

Such snobbiness had practically gone away during early 80's. RDB-BoneyM-ABBA fans didn't have any problem playing en iniya pon nilA or iLaya nilA at their homes :-)

Folks are being too harsh on the show. After all its the general public (with very little or no knowledge about music, most of them) with the ever-annoying kObi moderating it. I did enjoy some parts of it.

If Venkki does not want to take app_e's words for it, please watch Panju A talk about this very thing in the Manathodu Mano show. "Hindi songs were a rage then and I wanted to introduce a new *extraordinary* talent to TFM so that we can make people start appreciating TFM". avvaLavu baadhichchadhaal dhaan Panju A was so determined to introduce Raaja.

Now will someone be kind enough and post Panju Arunachalam in 'Manadodu Mano' links here? Especially the second part where he spoke about Raja and also about some lovely songs of Raja.
