Wonderful pick! Just have to love the "kai" "gai" play in the song!
(I hear a bit of "Thaedinaen Vandhadhu.." in this tune...)

Pick #729

Song: thanjAvUru bommai
Film: Thaai Magalukku Kattiya Thaali
Music: T.R.Pappa
Singers: Seerkazhi Govindarajan, T.M.Sounderarajan, P.Susheela, L.R.Eswari
Lyrics: One of (Udmualai Narayana Kavi, Maruthakasi, K.D.Santhanam, Kannadasan)
Year: 1959

Today's pick is one of LRE's early songs. Though her part is short she holds her own against the other three singers who had already established themselves in the industry. She was credited as Rajeswari in the titles. This song predates her first big hit "vArAi en thOzi". LRE also sang "UrAr uRanggaiyilE" for the film Naalu veli Nilam and "oRRumaiyAi vAzvathAlE" for Bagappirivinai, both in 1959. And may be a very few other songs in 1959 and 1958. Once vArAi en thOzi hit the airwaves there was no stopping her. She climbed to the top faster than most of the other singers.

The song shows that boys and girls teasing each other can be clean, reformative and fun. But it was a different time when there was still some innocence in the art of film. One might disagree that innocence or the loss of it is just perception. Who knows, they could be right.:huh: Because the all so innocent sounding LRE (in today's song) transformed into probably the sexiest singer ever in TFM within the next five years and sang some of the raunchiest lyrics. So, what is all this innocence we are talking about? May be it was just a shell. And it broke when the time came. May be the innocence was never there to be lost later. Just that the lack of innocence was uncovered at some point. Or, something like that. That is enough contemplation for today.:lol:

That's a fine KJY solo! Neel note!

And:

Oru Kaadhal Dhaevadhai, Iru Kannil Poomazhai

Naaz,

I have some of your requests and will host them soon.
iru kaNNil by VJ and MV from Ematrathe Emarathe. Music by Chandrabose. It is from the 80s but it is like a late 60s to early 70s song.
malaichAralil is from oru Kudumbathin Kathai by Shankar-Ganesh. Great song. Not that rare though.

madhu,

I will look for that KJY solo. It is a tough one.

At the speed of lightning (or almost)! Thanks for the link to the song. I heard it after decades! Early IR has something special...and I love all the PS / IR collaborations: Orae Idam, En Kannmani, Unna Nambi Neththiyilae, Sugamo Aayiram, Nilavu Naeram, Engaeyo Aedho, Vizhiyil, Un Vizhiyil...
and this duet!

Neel D -

Siru Vizhigalil Sedhukkidalaam

Would be great to listen to full track here sometime!

thaaalaattu....Achchaani
Pesakkoodadhu....Aduththa varisu
kaadhodu poovurasa.... & Nadhiyoram naanal.....
Raaja is amazingly romantic.
Thennamarathula....Lilting folkish duet with Raaja himself.

Dear Neel..

thes story of peNNE nee vAzhga goes like..

enakku ninaivil irukkum varaiyil..
Jaishankar and KRV are in same college. KRV loves him but somehow Jai avoids her and went back to his village.
KRV comes with a child and appeals to all that its the "vArisu"
of the family. Jaishankar vehemently denies.

she stays there and at last they found out that its the child of the brother of Jai and sister of KRV. ( akka sethu pOnadhAla andha kuzhandhaiyai adhan appA kitta sErka vandha KRV adhu Jai veedu enRu therinjadhum, konjam kuzhappi adhu jaikkum thanakkum piRandha kuzhandhai enbadhu pOla nadippAr)

At last, of course, subham :P

Her lullaby to MGR in Neethikku thalai vanangu...indha pachai
kilikku.....her pride and joy. What a musical! :musicsmile:

I loved her in Poova thalaiyaa, Savale Samali and Adutha vaarisu.

Yeppavo at the streets of TRICHY during festival time loud speaker ley poduvaaley, appo kettadhu :)
Vinatha.

the youthful voice of S Varalakshmi..

"kAdhalAginEn.. evar Edhu sonnapOdhum naan"

from 1000 thalai vAngiya apoorva sinthAmaNi :musicsmile:

Usha, you are welcome. intha pachai kilikkoru is of course one of SV classics along with Rajaraja Chozhan, Veerapandiya Kattabomman, Sivagangai Seemai, Kandhan Karunai, etc.
