Thats a great job done well, Ramki!
Ramki -
A fine job. The baton from bb has been passed on to very capable hands, and we are the richer for it. I look forward to many years of fine discernment from you. Best wishes to the in-house DJ!

My heartfelt Congratulations.
Your every pick has affected. Some I heard for the first time and loved them instantly, Many brought back my lovely memories, some I did not like that much then and now..
However each and every one did make an impression on me, which only reflects your sincere and careful selection.
Thanks and keep up the good work.
Bala
Congratulations Ramki on the great hosting for the last one year! I am sure there will be plenty more...Quote:

Pick #211
http://tfmpage.com/stream/songs/sarigama_rb.rm
Song: sarigamapadhani
Film: raaga bandhangaL
Singers : SPB, Vani Jairam
Lyrics: poovai senguttavan
Music: kuNNakudi Vaidhyanathan
I think it was early 80s. It was a friday night and i was waiting eagerly for my weekly treat of 'oliyum oLiyum'. OO started after lots of commercials and after the 'OO' caption todays pick was played. I had no clue about the film but the song captivated me as soon as VJ started 'sa sa'. I couldnt recognize the actors but it was picturised on a bunch of newcomers taking bath in a kovil kuLam. Later i found out that KV is the MD and director of this film and that it also had another wonderful JC solo 'malaro nilavo'.
Todays song was aired frequently on radio after its release. Its always a pleasure to listen to this song.
Baroque, i know this is not a total classical song by VJ, but close to it. :)
Ramki: am hearing this one after a very long time. SPB sounded different. Is it because of the audio quality?
Ramki, Sa ri ga ma pa dha ni is a complete VJ song. SPB could only support her and his jalangaL ellam kept very low in this song.
Poovai senguttuvan wrote the lyrics and you would see a typical tamil scholar's wording through out the song than a kavinayam.
Another VJ song (solo) in this movie is very great. Something starting with Govardan varuvaan kuzhal oodhi. If you get & listen to it, you would second my opinion that this is one of VJ's top 10 best numbers.
I waguely remember that the film was released in safire theatre complex for a morning show. Gopi (Achamillai Achamillai) acted as Hero (salavai thozhilaLi???) and one subhadra (konjam dOri kaN) acted as his pair. Good music and songs alone could not save this movie :-(
POW first anniversarykku enathu vazhuthukkal.
raaga bandhangal, kovil pura, azhaghu,thisai maariya paravaigal, maanthoppu kiliyae ippadi pala padangal kathai puriyatha vayathil paarththen. aanaal intha padathin pattu (atleast some) manathil endrum nilaiththu irukku. Both 'malaro nilavo malaimagalo" and sarigamapathani are gems of PJ and VJ. Thanks for this song. As SN said its a complete VJ song.
Ramki -
A brilliant selection, but the audio quality of this particular track seems to warp a good portion of the brilliance...Wish somebody would invest to preserve / remaster these rarities...
Malaro Nilavo is one of PJC's finest moments in TFM.
Ramki!! Excellent pick!! long long ago i listened to this song! Very pleasing, refreshing sweet song!!
thanks Ramki for Vani Jayaram song!
Others, thanks for the rare songs you have mentioned, I will search and listen to them all!
my salute to virtuous Vani Jayaram!
Dear Ramki,
The male voice is - Bala Murali Krishna i think.
With Love,
Usha Sankar.
Usha,
idhu namba lover boy indeed!!
Listen to that humming, his singing of lyrics & swaras....
The way he is rendering 'iraivanai vazhipadavey munnorgal isaiye sirandhadhadhena...' Andal & Lord Ranganatha appadiyee manasu kulirndhu, blessing him with eternal divine voice!!! :D :thumbsup:
Ramki, yeppo yeppo break kedaikkaradho, appovellam i am indulging myself in this treaure! thanks!
My apologies for the poor audio quality. I tried my best :(
Pick #212
http://tfmpage.com/stream/songs/vaarthai_tip.rm
Song: vaarthai illamal oru
Film: thunai iruppaL meenakshi
Singer : PSuseela
Lyrics: Panju arunachalam?
Music: iLaiyaraja
A melancholy solo by PS. While the other solo(sugamo aayiram) became popular todays solo was less aired and less heared.
TIP is a super azhugachi film with Sujatha, Sivakumar etc. The film had another solo by BSS that was along the lines of 'amma pasikkudhe thaiye pasikkudhe' song. Cant the remember the first line though.
Thanks Ramki for a great song!
Searching for it too Long!
Great find, hardly see this kind of soothing songs nowadays.
Azhugachi film no doubt, but Sujatha's acting was really good.
Thanks a million
Bala
Ramki: Two good songs in a row:)
sarigamapadhani is one of my favourite VJ songs:) Almost forgot about it because it has been a long time since I heard it though it is one of the unforgettable gems of VJ:)
There is another song in TIM. Lyrics of vaarthai illamaal reminds me of vaasamilla malaridhu by TR.. adikka varaadheengappa:))
sERRil oru senkazhani
thingaL oru poo malarum by TMS and SJ, I think.
Dear Ramki,
I am sure idhu Bala murali krishna voice dhan.ENaku ninaivu iruku.RAdiovil kettu irukaen.Sometime sila songs ellam pidikaradho,pidikalaiyo manadhil irukum.BMK voice il sila film songs appadi manadhil padhindhu iurku. :lol:
In film Navarathinam there is a song sung by BMK with VJ music by Kunnakudi.Andha timeil vnadha songaga idhuvum irukalam.
Kuruvikaran pondati .
Ippodhu kuda SPB ku voice il indha alavirku age agalai.Therinjavanga yaravadhu confirm pannunga :lol:
With Love,
Usha Sankar.
Dear Ramki,
Thanks for the song.Beautiful composition by IR!!!
With Love,
Usha Sankar.
Dear baroque,
Voiceai nalla gavaninga.ADhu BMK voice dhan.I am sure.
With Love,
Usha Sankar.
Ramki -
PS always does such tunes with an interesting stoicism. It always feels as if she is standing outside the character (in the film) and actually deciphering the meanings behind the expressions. I like PS for this "stylistic" aspect she introduces in many such songs. There is nary a false treble or excessive note, and yet the meloncholy is fully formed, heavy without the heaving.
Thanks for this treasure.
----------
There is great duet by VJ-BMK - Sandhanakkudam Ondru Sathiraaduthu... film? I also recall Kuruvikkaara Machchanae...
OH, Ramki!! You are spoiling us with your great picks!!
I can get used to it!
Just a reminder, Mr! when you spoil some one, there comes the responsibility of being CONSISTENT!!! :wink: Are U upto it?????????? :D
It is a wonderful selection, rarest of rare early Ilayaraja! I am speechless! just amaidhyaa quite down! manasukku yennavo maary yerukku! :cry:
USA friends, Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!
love, Vinatha.
Usha shankar its clearly SPB..i think the audio quality makes you think otherwise.
Pick #213
http://tfmpage.com/stream/songs/pani_dp.rm
Song: pani nilave siru malare
Film: deivam pesumaa
Singer : KJYesuodoss
Lyrics: ?
Music: Shankar Ganesh
A very Jolly abraham like KJY song. Its amazing to see how drastically a singer's voice changes over years. I have noticed this change with many singers. Their voice gets better and better as they old. Only few voices, like vanijairams, TMS, jikkis, PBS's remained the same.
I have no other details on deivam pesumaa. Who are the actors? Any other good song?
Deivam Pesumaa released in 1971, starred sob-king, AVM Rajan and Nirmala.
Another song from the movie is ondrE ondru thEn oorum....
Ramki, I guess TIP song "Vaarthai illamal" (PS) is a background / asareeri kinda number. some more immediate references are Odam nadhiyinile..., kaatrinile perum kaatrinile... Somehow the lyrics writers commonly used Odam, nadhi, kaatru, padagu etc etc in the background songs. And I even wondered that the singers will not show that much emotions in the songs but the entire song and its picturisation will convey what need to be.
TIP had Setril Oru senkazhunee (TMS+SJ) duet for Vijayakumar and Swarna, Amma pasikkudhe (Sasirekha) for a child, Some therukoothu kinda song (???) + the most famous number of the album "SugamO aayiram" (PS with EG on her VeeNai), an Outstanding song of IR+PS combination (Sujatha motivating Sivakumar).
Ramki
Is it by SG? To me it sounds more like a G. Devarajan's song! Good pick nevertheless.
Happy Thanks Giving to all in USA
Bala
NOV/SN23 thank you for the details
Bala, i rechecked it is by SG
Pick #214
http://tfmpage.com/stream/songs/deviyin_aom.rm
Song: deviyin kovil paravaiyondru
Film: avaLukkendru or manam
Singer : Sjanaki
Lyrics: kaNNadasan
Music: MSViswanathan
Many of Director Sridhar's films had atleast one song by SJanaki. 'AvaLukkendru or manam' had this.
'malar edhu en kaNgaL' and 'unnidathil ennai' are the first best songs from AOM and todays pick is the second(IMO). "mangaiyaril" comes next.
AOM was a good attempt by KSridhar. It was a bold venture that starts well and gets interesting as the story proceeds but the end sucked big way. IMO this is the only movie Bharathi really 'acted'. She was a revelation.
I had never listened to todays pick until i watched the film on DD few years back. The song is not easily available. I wish some recording company will bring out all these rare gems in CD version. We need to preserve these treasures in digital formats.
Good Song Ramki! Remember hearing this song in Ilangai Vanoli, but should be in rarest occasions.
However IMHO cannot place this song above Mangayaril Oru Maharani song (best SPB/PS song ever), 'Ellorum Paarka, en Ullasa vazhakai '(Good LRE/MSV combo) and rocking smabar songs 'Aayiram Ninaivu'.
You are right, these rare jems need to be preserved. You are already doing a great service in bringing these songs to the public domain. Thanks to your service
Bala
Ramki, I think AOM is an early 70's movie. What a change in music of MSV. You see a different emotions in all songs. He used PS, SJ and LRE for one actress Bharati.
1. Malar endhu en kangal by PS (Bharati), a lovely rejuvenating song with good chorus and lovable guitar in background
2. Ayiram ninaivu Ayiram kanavu by SPB (Gemini). Such a youthful song with a tender voice of SPB (Forget GG and forgive Sridhar)
3. Unnidathil ennai koduthen by SJ (Bharati). Nadhaswarm and MeLam in background, you will sense the imagination of wedding by the heroine. SJ sang extremely well though too much of keechal.
4. Mangaiyaril maharani by SPB+PS for GG+Kanchana. The movie version is very grand compared to the radio's, with add-on humming of PS in the beginning and after the 1st charanam. SPB's Telugu accent was very transparent in this song, IMO. PS's voice was perfect match for Kanchana.
5. Deviyin koyil paravai idhu by SJ (Bharati). The second half was full of azhugai. While watched I even got angry at the characterisation of Bharati who succumbs all push & pull of villain Muthuraman. May be Sridhar wanted to create more sympathy in viewers.
6. Ellorum paarka en ullasa vAzhkkai by LRE for Bharati. The character kills herself by yielding to pressure of villain for the happy life of her friend Kanchana. This is one of of the main reasons for this NOT-A-HIT film. LRE's voice started getting karakarappu in this season, which really irritates.
7. ManamelAam un kovil mandapam by SJ (Kanchana). A slogam kinda song, Kanchana waits for Bharati to join her doing Poojai, but Bharati is giving company to Muthuraman in a club. Song starts with Kanchana and Kum.Rukmini doing poojai. Interludes shows the Bharati's break-dance.
Music tops the film's attributes but weak story with over sympathy seeking story made this film uniteresting after the 1st half.
HI SN23...
super writeup..
but there is one more final song.. ( oru azhugai jail song)
"oLi vazhangi maRaiginRa kaRpooram
udal urugi oLi veesum mezhuguvarthi.."
something goes like this...
