There is a song sung by Master Sivaji after (or before) he "poNNu paarthu" for his elder brother Subbaiah. Some lady singer voice, but unable to recollect the lyrics. Super song. That master actor danced very well :-)
Another one is Padmini sings in a leisurely mood "Bhagyavathi naan Bhagyavathi naan paarinilE maha Bhagyavathi naan" (sung by Bhagavathy, I guess). Another classic number.
This POW sounds pathos, Sivaji standing beind ailing Padmini and sings with tears rolling like river on his cheeks :-( Whether Sivaji forced him to act in line with Satyam's sad voice? One will come out of the theatre with Niraindha kaN :-(
Subbaiah + Padmini paired in one more movie, if I am correct (KaN Kanda Deivam directed by KSG, later re-made as Padikkadha PaNNayaar).
How many times we are going to thank you Ramki. But it is deserved.. nandri pala kOdi :-)
SN23:- I also listened to Adaivida ragasiyam song. There are 3 stanzas. As Ramki confirmed, BSS also sang in this song.
1st stanza 'ponnu paarvaikku' is by Sasireka
2nd stanza 'mangai pangajam' is by PS
3rd stanza 'pengal velaikku pogindra' is also by PS
whereas the laughter and that 'kanachana ranjana...' all such recitals are also by PS
The final ending PS alone singing enda kada sele is very pleasing.
but major misu point is that unsync chorus.
Ramki: another azhugaachi song:) Makes me a sowkar, vijayakumari or KRV after listening to it:)
Even though I have watched a puththam pudhu copy of this film, I don't remember the story.
The song the kid sings after seeing pathmini is "kaNdu konden naan kandu konden", I think.
Another song will have "mangaiyar thilagam" repeated at the end of each line. May have been a title song or at the later days of pathmini.
nalla soha paatu.I have not heard it before.His voice is similar to ghantasala's.
Ramki, the song reminds me of some other song which sounds similar to this.
Is it 'kanavu kanda kaadhal' or is it my imagination?
Thanks for the song
Madhu i m not aware of his other tamil songs. Did he sing in mayabazaar?
Raj thanks for the raaga detail. What were the other POW songs in this raaga?
Pick #255
http://raretfm.mayyam.com/stream/pow06/poo_rp.rm
Song: poo manakkum poonkuzhali
Film: Ratha paasam
Singers: SPB, BSSasirekha(?)
Lyrics:kaNNadasan
Music: MSViswanathan
This melodious duet is worth a listen and more. SPB sings Kavignars uvamais with his usual charm.
'rathapasam' had sivaji, jaichitra etc. I think it was the first tamil film to be picturised in Italy and Spain. Was the film a hit ? No clue. But it had good songs
'en uLLam engindra vaanathile', (TMS,PS)
'maan kutti ippodhu en veetile',(TMS)
'aasai theera pesavendum'(SPB,SJ)
I will have to listen to a few songs at a time to identify the raagaas!Quote:

Sometime back I read from an old Vikadan mag that BSS voice was almost resembling PS in "Welcome hero" song. In fact, in this song, making out the difference is very difficult than that in "Welcome Hero" song.
I do not think anyone other than you would know that EKSela was sung by BSS with PS :-) Mani Sir TFMPage-in pithAmagan endrAl, neer oru encyclopedia of TFMPage.com Hats-off to you.
Once I read Rathapasam intro, I immediately recollected my singing on stage in Anna University "Maan kutti" song. Came out very well but did not get due recog since it was an old song (according to the panel.. hmmm).
RP was released in 1980, I think, under Sivaji Productions. Sivaji with Sripriya, Jaiganesh with Pramila and Jaichitra (rendu gundu jodi). Out of all, Pramila performed well in the negative role kidnapping her own son from the separated husband JG.
My pick from RP is the song Sivaji singing with Foster sister Jaichitra. En uLLam engindra vAnathile (TMS & PS).
Heard that in those time, sequence of actress'names in title-card was a big head-ache. Immediate example is Sowcar-JJ tug-of-war in OLi viLakku. The same happened here in RP as well as ILamai oonjalAdugiradhu. It seems Sripriya demanded her name to be shown ahead of JC as she was the 1st heroine (of course JC was getting shaded away in the market). But in RP, it was decided to show JC's name first, whereas Sridhar managed to show both their names in one single card in Ilamai OO... Right-Top-Corner JC and Left-Bottom-Corner SP (Periya kaNdu pidippu :-))
Ramki, neenga innoru duet-ai miss paNNitteenga. Sivaji and Sripriya (SPB + LRE) singing in the streets of Rome "rOtta kaNdaa Kudiraikku Asa(i)". MSV, never worried to use the voice of LRE even after it was torn like poonai piraandiya plattu :-)
Is POW for Sivaji + Sripriya ??? Nice singing by SPB.
thanks for the forgotten POW. I hope other songs from raththa paasam will be available very soon. pattu kettaal thavira onnumae gyabagam vara mattenguthu. Good showing by SPB as usual.
Ramki -
A fine example of MSV and his matchless sense of melody. Thanks for featuring this forgotten and yet fresh as ever solo. I like the MSV-SPB chemistry in such solos (Raagangal Pathinaaru comes to mind) where SPBs mellowness melds seamlessly with the tabla and the song seems to undulate. My only gripe in this moment of grace is SPBs work on the word Devathai, an excess that could have been easily curtailed.
I think this song is for sripriya.
maRandhu pOna nalla songs ellaam remind paNRe ramki:) Thanks once again. SPB voice pathi sollanumaa enna?
Hi..
JN : ") of course, Sripriya in white dance dress ( ayyo ayyo ) in some foreign Mall.. and Shivaji with double over coat.. ( ayyayyo)..
But the song is a very nice one..
The picturisation of the other songs "mankutti" and "en uLLam" or sagikkable..
Thank you all for your kind words :notworthy:
Pick #256
http://raretfm.mayyam.com/stream/pow06/aenda_vop.rm
Song:aenda raja enne vendum
Film: veetukoru piLLai
Singer: Sjanaki
Lyrics:kaNNadasan
Music: MSViswanathan
She was the most underutilized singer of 60s. In spite of having a wonderful track of rendering excellent songs, the MD's were hesitant to give her more . Few directors like Sridhar insisted on giving her atleast one song in his films. No one would have known that time that she would be a force to reckon with in very near future.
You all know who the singer is. SJanaki.
This week POW will showcase some of her rare solos in MSV's music.
'veetukoru piLLai' has Jaishankar and UshaNandini. I'm not sure how the film fared at B.O, but the songs were sure hits.
The melodious duet 'keLvi ketkum neramalla'(SJ,SPB), 'indru mudhal selvamidhu'(SPB,BSVasantha) were often requested and listened to.
Todays song was not a popular one but a good one. SJanakis sweet voice adds a beautiful charm.
The scene was real fun(pun intended). I sometimes wonder how Usha Nandhini became a heroine and that too with top actors. She neither had the looks nor the talent. But i know why she was chosen for 'veetukoru piLLai'. Muscle power. Pure strong muscle power.
I'm not kidding. For half the duration of the song she will carry the heavyweight Jaishankar on her back and prance around.
which other heroine(KRV maybe? :lol: could have done that?
Nice song! I would have liked it better with Rajeswari singing ! :)
Hi Ramki..
muscle power.. indeed.. ! :lol: :lol:
yeah.. even her physique is more masculine..
and I never saw her dance gracefully in any of her songs..
one more song by TMS .. "nan potta puLLi". Whenever they announce the film name in Vivid Bharathi.. I used to think about the other two songs.. but usually they broadcast this TMS one.. ( adhuvum ungaL viruppathil !! :P ) thats why I am unable to forget this song..
waiting for some more special songs of MSV/SJ combination..
//Muscle power. Pure strong muscle power.// May be you can say azhagiya rakshasi :rotfl:
UNandini was one among of fond-of-list of Sivaji :lol:
I watched this song seq in one of the Jaishankar's CD. In fact it starts with Jai reaches UN's house running, as someone chases him. She shuts the door and drafts a drama very soon (romba pudhisAli); starts singing this song after resting Jai in a BadA ThooLi. The villain group searches the house but not able to find Jai inside. AppappO Jai thalaiya veLiya kAttuvAr, UN Jai-ai uLLe thaLLum.... Sema bedhdha poo over the ears :rotfl:
KalayaNamAna kanni poNNe sollammA is part of nAn pOtta puLLI, correct? TMS sings beautifully this song. Worth listening :-)
Ever best MSV-SJ combination is Thookam un kaNgaLai thazhuvattumE... Ungal listla idhu irukkA?
enakku andhak kaalaththile indha song first 4 lines mattum theriyum.. adhu oru paappaakkaaga paadraanga nu ninaichirundhen.. jai shankar ka? ayyo:)))
raj,
Do you know what it is the raaga of this song?
Madhu
I never listened to 'naan potta puLLi'(Im luck i guess :))
SN23
Are you sure? This is what i remember. Jai sneaks into UN's room and she freaks out. Hearing the commotion , her grandmom asks whats the matter and she replies that she is baby sitting her neighbor's kid and starts singing. In the middle of the song her muraimaaman(Nagesh i think) joins her grandma and enjoys the song from outside. As the song ends the neighbor walks in with the kid UN is supposedly watching :)Quote:

Pick #257
http://raretfm.mayyam.com/stream/pow06/ponunjal_tp.rm
Song:ponunjal katti vaithu
Film: Thaai Piranthaal
Singer: Sjanaki
Lyrics:alangudi somu
Music: MSViswanathan
Thanks to NeelD for the song. He writes:
This solo by S.Janaki is from the same film Thaai Piranthaal which had
two solos by P.Bhanumathi that were presented few weeks ago. This
lovely song, a typical soothing MSV composition, sung before the
mukkal-munagal era has the innocence in S.Janaki's voice still intact.
In my opinion, S.Janaki delivered the songs with importance to
composition in the pre-IR times. In the later part of her career there
was too much importance to expression, at the cost of everything else.
"ponnUnjal katti vaiththu" is rare, lovely and let us enjoy the chaste
rendition.
Ramki,
'aenda raja' I think is Ananda Bairavi.
'ponoonjal katti' is a beautiful melody..! I see shades of Hamir Kalyani, but there are other ragas too.
Ramki, I am lost totally. Then, in which movie the scene that I narrarated exist? en mana vaanilaa? Hayyo :banghead:
Thookkam un kangaLai is popular, I agree. But whenever aalayamaNi song is aired, often one of TMS's 3 songs will aired. So, though I cannot enter into your decision territory, konjan inaam kEtkalaam illaya. Kadaisiyil, Thookkam song host paNNungaL :-)
After reading your as usual nayyandi "mukkal-munagal era...", I recollect reading a Arasu kELvi-Bhadil (Kumudam). The Q was "Who is better 'mukkal-munagal specialist' Janaki OR 'mookil paadum' Chitra?". Arasu's reply was "Mukkal munagalil Janaki-ai ellam thooki saapidum LR Eswari irukkiraar. Mookkil padubavar yaar endru sonnaal avarukku kobam vadu muruga muruga endru solla arambippaar". Idhan full meaning Arasukku thaan veLichcham :-)
Above all, SJ's POW is really melodious. Worth noding the head with closed eyes :-)
Ramki :
Having started Janaki's rare gems, I request you to find and host the song "Sollaamal Theriya Vendume, Sollavum Thanimai Vendume" from film "Vilyaattu Pillai", a Sivaji, Kaanchana (?) starrer (early 70's). "Old" pople here can recognise the song and film, I hope. :lol:
CSR
CSR, enakku avlO vayasu aaga villai. Irundhalum, I guess the music was scored by KVM for ViLayattu PiLLai, who gave good songs to SJ pre-IR era. The song is for Kaanchana as you said, though the main heroine is Padmini. Sivaji would enter the room of Kanchana and shocked to see her coming out from bathroom. She would welcome Sivaji "vaarungaL Muththaian varungaL". This piece I remember as I watched it a moving bus long back.
IR - SJ combination-i vida Pre IR -SJ combinations ellamae best agha thaan irukku. Neel D correct agha thaan solli irukkaar ena ninaikka thoandrugirathu.
Hope to get more SJ songs from pre IR era, Ramki. thanks
ramki, ponnoojanl katti vaithu is like a soft paruthi cloth. Very nice. never heard so far.
Namma kuzhandaigal song and Kanni pen song are very good with MSV and SJ. But one thing, please do not continuously host SJ songs. Kadhu repair aagidum. Just kidding :-)
Your sense of humor is really great ramki. i like that.
Enda raaja song is almost accompanied with mosing instrument. did you notice that. Very nice effect. MSV expert knows that strength.
Thanks RR
csr I do not have that song with. Will host it, if i can find it.
Pick #258
http://raretfm.mayyam.com/stream/pow06/angadha_nm.rm
Song:angadha naatil
Film: neela malargaL
Singer: Sjanaki
Lyrics:kaNNadasan
Music: MSViswanathan
More than 10 female singers have given voice for Sridevi(in tamil) but only SJanaki's voice fit hers like a glove. It started with senthoorapoove and continued till 'Hare raama hare krishna' songs.
Todays pick is another one of those perfect fit songs. You can almost visualise sridevi singing it. I love the way SJ sings the 'thananana raajakumari'.
'neela malargaL' a tamil remake of 'anuraag' had 4 good songs by MSV.
'maadham oru poo malarum' (already featured in POW)
'idhu irava pagalaa'
'pesum mani muthu' and todays pick.
Regarding Pre and Post IR sj songs : I personally think if not for IR we would never have witnessed the great talents SJ had. Her versitality was best exposed in IR songs. I cannot imagine anyone else singing songs like 'azhagiya kaNNe' ,'kaatril endhan geetham' 'kaNden engum' etc. Her voice became younger as she became older. If not for IR, SJ might have faded away from TFM like other singers of her age(JM,jikki, PLeela etc)
Anyone want to guess the next selection?
Clue: Another sridevi song. Her pair was
Rajkumar(Lathas brother) :idea:
Deiva thirumaNangaL? Stories of 3 deities Meenakshi (Latha + ???), Sreenivasar (Ravikumar + Sripriya) and Murugan-VaLLi (Rajkumar+Sridevi). I remember only this movie acted by these 2 as pair. But the music for Murugan-VaLLi thirumaNam is by GKV (not MSV)? Enna kuzhappareenga ???
HI..
SN23 , it may be "vethala kiLiye solladhe veLiye".. there are 3 MDs for this film..
is MSV for Srinivasa kalyanam ?
thanks for SJ songs
But i disgree that only SJ's voice as best fit for Sridevi
Oh oh I'm doomed :( :). I was under the wrong assumption that MSV was the MD(only) for 'deiva thirumanangaL' ..sigh. Anyways i will host 'vethala kiLiye' later and will continue with MSV-SJ series.
Thanks SN23 and Madhu for the correction
Pick #259
http://raretfm.mayyam.com/stream/pow06/varuvaan_pu.rm
Song:varuvaan mohanaruban
Film: poNunjal
Singer: Sjanaki
Lyrics:kaNNadasan
Music: MSViswanathan
What are the odds of featuring 2 Usha Nandini's songs in a single week?(I'm assuming that the song is for UN) :). This must be her week. How many tamil films she did? I can count 4. Any more?
My earliest memory of TFM is 'aagaya pandhalile'. The song always rekindles balya vayadhu memories in me. It is also my eldest sister's favorite song(I recently discovered that this song has a 3rd saranam ).
'nalla kaariyam seekiram' later became another favorite song of mine.
I discovered todays pick only recently. I instantly caught on to the song . The music and the voice is so pleasantfully melodious.
(The song always reminds me of MSV 80's song 'ezhudhugiraaL oru pudhu kavidhai')
This pick is one of my favorites too. The twists & turns right in the pallavi is lovely. The counterpoint (though simple) at the start of first interlude also caught my attention.
This song is so similar to 'kaatrukkenna veli', don't you think?
POW song list.
I am in the process of editing the subject lines so that a sort routine will pick up the song titles and movies in alphabetic order.
Now, you will get whatever is in the subject line ! :)

http://forumhub.mayyam.com/hub/lyrsort.php?t=1016
This link is also in the very first post by Ramki.
Ramki: Hereafter, please do not add the serial number in the subject line. Thanks.
Ramki, as madhu said, music for 'Srinivas kalyanam' of Deiva ThirumanangaL was scored by MSV. Meenakshi kalyanam's music was by KVM and VaLLi ThirumaNam by GKV. In my taste and opinion, MSV's was outstanding and all his 3 songs are great. Esp, "Mannavan thannaiye marakka", a slow expressive virutham kinda song by PS (for Sripriya) is excellent.
Somehow I also fall in line with you on SJ-Sridevi chemistry. I remember watching the film EngaL Kula Deivam (Muthuraman, KRV, Jaichitra). Sridevi acted as Kutti Jaichitra, daughter of Paambaatti. Her friend is Karuppan, a kutty paambu. SD runs and Karuppan thurathufying scene, I will never forget. SD screams "karuppa varadhadaa karuppa thorathathadaa" with laughters in between. That screachy screaming and laughters are as good as if SJ had dubbed for her. Such a match. But when SD became heroine, many had sung for her. Any idea whether LRE had sung for her????
Ramki, I am sure that you have a soft corner for mozhu mozhu actress from United Nations. Good to hear the unheard solo of SJ. She sings with lots of twists and turns like a snake, but something is missing. I feel she does not complete some words (hope my hearing is fine so far :-)).
Anyways, thanks Ramki.
Dear Ramki,
1.Angadha natil
2.Varuvan mohana rupan - irandum enna ragam? nice tunes!!!
With Love,
Usha Sankar.
