"Thulli thulli pOgum pennE sollikondru pOnnal enna Kanni unthan pEr enna ", lovely Song by KJY +IR!

IIRC, this song was for N.Ravi in a Karthik movie right ? was it "kanN simittum nEram" ??

It is most definitely not IR

I think Chandrabose

:shock: then who was it ? Manoj Gyan ( Oomai Vizhigal) ?

kaNNE kalaimAnE a few times last evening and this morning.

Perhaps the most famous KJY number with IR.

enna oru inimai - kEtkum pozhudhellAm sugamO sugam!

Even the Hindi version (slightly inferior orchestration IMO) seems to be popular - going by the fact that it got featured in the "KJY-Hindi-best-collection-cassette" of my Palakkad Malayali friend, frequent humming of my previous co-worker from Assam and the references here and there on the net, including youtube.

Very soothing number, adorable picturization by Balu Mahendra with Kamal-Sridevi.

Has this additional honor of being among the last couple of film songs by Kavingar, given to IR -with a declaration that 'rAsA adhirshtakkAran, thirumbi vandhu pAttu ezhudhuvEnO theriyAthu' - prior to his leaving to US for treatment :-(

Oh thanks, my second guess was right about the MD! :) I am 100% sure the song was for N.ravi , but I cant remember any other scenes from the film :(

Read some where that "this song is million times greater than the great". Sounds very exaggerating only till you listen to that. Composed and written by that visually impaired genius Ravindra Jain, whose wish if ever he gets his vision was to see KJY first.

http://google.saregama.com/music/pag...y=INH109435590

I have heard the good fortune to have listened to quite a few mailanji songs and none better than this. Never understood the meaning - I think most of the words are just put in for the rhythm they bring. Not sure who composed it and the lyricist has done a terrific job too. If any body has a better link, pls provide it. A must listen for any KJY fan.

Oh yes! Thanks for reminding. But very poorly made and not sure if it got even 10% of the reach of what samgritha pama gari got.

மாலையில் ஒரு மல்லிகை
என மலர்ந்தவள் இந்த கன்னிகை
மன்மதன் கணை ஐவகை
அதில் ஓர் வகை இவள் புன்னகை

MSV's flavour runs all over this song, but an IR original. I think the IR version of this song is: நதியில் ஆடும் பூவனம்

caressing and romantic sriranjani from Ilayaraja.

oru ragam vandhadum veenai......Shri.Yesudas is enchanting as always.

Listen to Janaki. She delights our senses. :musicsmile:

How can I move on without treating myself to longing mood VANDHADHU

Wow Dr KJY sir and SJ madam, amazing stuff, simply love it to the core, IR sir only you possible, I love this song to the core

One of Ravindra Jain's greatest melodies:

Movie: Gopal Krishna (1979)

Actors: Sachin/Zarina Wahab

Singers: K.J. Yesudas/Hemalata

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1-WrzeYA3s&feature=related

Picture an ice melting faster - a fast paced melody.

கண்ணுக்கும் கண்ணுக்கும் மோதல்
நெஞ்சத்தில் நீ தந்தாய் காதல்
என்னென்ன எண்ணம் வாழ்க வாழ்கவே
மாலை தென்றலே மாலை கொண்டு வா
வேளை வந்ததே வாழ்த்து பாடவா

நினைக்கத் தெரிந்த மனம் மறக்கத் தெரியவில்லை கவிஞனின் கவிதை
இதற்கு அடுத்த வரி எனக்குத் தெரியவில்லை டாட்டா பை பை

The translations are for Hindi not Tamil, but its the only link I could find to this song so apologies.

Another gem composed by Ravindra Jain; rendered by K.J. Yesudas and P. Susheela; this one in Telugu!

"priya cheliya..." from BRAHMARISHI VISWAMITRA (1991), directed by N.T. Ramarao (I think this was NTR's last movie)

Rajesh: I had the audio recording of "priya cheliya..." for so many years, but came across the video only very recently :) If I remember correctly, you had posted the audio in the Telugu Film Music thread a while ago. Thank you for the info on NTR.

KJY's first Hindi song, composed by Salilda for the movie Anand Mahal. The movie, based on Badal Sarkar's Bengali play Ballavpurer Roopkathaa, was completed but never released!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoP8mdiX0-0


Here is a sad version of the same song; a duet sung by KJY and Sabita Choudhury:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsOp7W1u2vs&feature=related

Salilda followed up Anand Mahal with Chhoti Si Baat (1975) in which KJY sings "jaanE man jaanE man tErE dO nayan...", a duet with Asha Bhosle. Amol Palekar is watching a movie in which Dharmendra and Hema Malini are singing the song, but then Amol's fantasy takes over and himself and Vidya Sinha take over the screen!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5o6bD5EutOQ&feature=related

For those who can follow Hindi, here is an extended version with some funny scenes that precede the song:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fVM_PviY7E&feature=fvsr

A rare KJY duet with Mano from a comedy movie!

"isai pOla kalai illaiyE..."

Singers: Mano & KJY

Music: Isai Vaanan

Movie: minor maappiLLai (1996)

Paruvam Kaninthu Vandha Paavai Varuga from Yaaro Ezhuthiya Kavidhai, music by Ananda Shankar. Lovely tune and beautifully sung by KJY & VJ.

"manasulOni marmamunu thelusukO...", pleasingly rendered by S. Janaki and KJY - From the Malayalam movie "Ente Mohangal Poovirinju" (1982) - Thyagaraja / V. Dakshinamoorthy:

"உள்ளமெல்லாம் தள்ளாடுதே..." - தூரத்து இடிமுழக்கம் - Salilda - KJY/S. Janaki:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_38s-_m5dI

இன்னைக்குத்தான் இந்தப் பாடலை முதல்முதலா கேட்கிறேன். இணைய நண்பி ஒருவர் அறிமுகப்படுத்தினார். இனி என்றைக்கும் மறக்க மாட்டேன். அந்த அளவுக்கு குரலின் வீச்சு இருக்கிறது. நாதஸ்வரமே வாசித்தது போல ஒரு உணர்வு. 50 ஆண்டுகள் யேசுதாஸ் - நிறைவடைந்த தருணத்தில் எனக்கு கிடைத்த இந்த அனுபவம் மிகவும் பிரத்யகமானது.

"kasthoori maNakkunnallO kaatE..." (Lyrics: Sreekumaran Thampi - Music: M.K. Arjunan)

Sung by KJY for the 1975 Malayalam movie PICNIC:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X50jsoI7Xb8


The same song, sung by KJY in 2011 and rerecorded for the new movie NAAYIKA:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75N3oHVkGjc

Song looping in my head from morning: Magizhampoove Unnai pArthen mayanggi pOnEn..

Somewhat this line touches me, "...vAzkkaiyennum pAdhaiyilae sErndhu pOvOmae
nAmum vAzndhu pArppOmae..." reminds me of my wife saying that we shall go through this (pregnancy) together....

...Anyway, KJY, what a career!!!!

Lifetime Achievement Award for K.J. Yesudas, who has sung more than 50,000 songs in several Indian languages including Malayalam, Hindi and Tamil, at the Asiavision Movie Awards at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Friday.
