Pick of the week: 1 Mar to 5 Aug 2006

Ramki

'Megham Karukkaiyele' , "Sevvarali Thottathile" are 2 IR-UR duets. Which is the other one?

Good song, thanks

Thanks for agreeing to host one of my request

Bala

bala,

'nil nil nil badil sol sol' is her 3rd duet with IR

Nice song with a lovely rural feel. A unique combination of voices. UR's voice and IR's voice are like the opposite poles.

Some solos by UR
alai alaiyAi pala AsaigaLE - Naalai Unathu Naal
manjaL kuLikkiRa pinju - Manasukketha Maharasa
annai madiyil kaN thiRanthu - ??

FM:

Latest - kannum kannum thaan (thirupachi) for Mani sharma !

Neel,

Where do you get all these songs from? :P

Thanks for reminding this nice song Ramki.

If I'm not mistaken, Rajalakshmi sings this song along the Neer Odai with KaNdAngi Selai and Karthik wear white Vetti-Sattai (Karthikku KiLLa sathai irukkAthu).

- Memorable performance by her for the song Nee Varuvaai Ena from Sujatha.

Ramki,
Could you double check that Malligai Poovukku Kalyaanam ?
(you have listed the song by Uma Ramanan under SG music)

I'm sure that Malligai Poovukku KalyaaNam from Oor KAvalan by Vaani Jeyraam and MS Vasudevan.

If I'm wrong pls ingnore it.

Does UR sung VeLLi MaNi KiNNathile Nalla Nalla Santhanam thaan?

VeLLi Nilave VeLLi Nilave from Nanthava Theru is another gem by UR.

Thanks for the songs Ramki.My favourite of Uma Ramanan is 'Anandha Raagam' from paneer pushpangal.
few more UR songs under IR
1)'elelanguyile' from pandi naatu thangam
2)'thanniyele nananja idhu ' from keladi kanmani.I dont remember seeing it in the movie, only in cassette i think.
3)'muthamma muthammma'from thandhu vittaen ennai
4)'poothathadi saathi malli' from karuvelam pookal
5)'amudhae thamizhae' from koil pura
6)'kasthurimaane'from pudhumai penn

one more'onna paatha nerathile' from mallu vetti minor

& also 'chinnamani ponnumani' from the same film( sorry too many posts)

Another IR_UR duet is Aazham adhu aazham illa from Mudhal vasantham

Aaha idhu namba country side romantic aasa Rasa!! :) Please host ‘thaazhampoovey kannurangu.....’ , ‘oororangum saamathiley....’ too if you can!

'baroque, do you need that song or do you need IR himself?'

Pattu dhaan linkley yerukkey, Ramki! What happened to his US tour?? No pechu no moochu :(

Dear Ramki,
Thanks for the nice song!!!

With Love,
Usha Sankar.

rajesh , i think aarum adhu aazhamilla is not a duet, it comes in 2 versions sung by IR & UR , for chandrasekar( full version) and ramya krishnan( short version) respectively.
Just remembered another song'kottaya vittu' from chinna thayee

Thanks Ramki on the 3rd IR-UR duet

Rakkamma.com advise one more song
Nillaatha vennilaa nillu nillu rom AaanAzhagan

Are you aware of the song?

Bala

Pick #304

http://raretfm.mayyam.com/stream/pow06/undhanin_rk.rm

Song: undhanin paadal ennai
Film: raakaayi kovil
Singers : Uma Ramanan , Mano
lyrics: ?
Music: iLaiyaraja

(Bala I'm hosting both your requests today :) )

Most of UR's duets were with KJY.
Few with SPB . To my knowledge she has sung only 2-3 songs with MSV, couple with Mano and Arunmozhi
I dont think she had any duets with singers like Jayachandran, SNS etc

Todays pick is picturised on kasthoori and selva. I have no other details on this film.

Bala might??

Pick #305

http://raretfm.mayyam.com/stream/pow06/indha_t.rm

Song: indha azhagu deepam
Film: thiramai
Singers : Malaysia vasudevan, Uma Ramanan
lyrics: vairamuthu?
Music: shankar Ganesh

A lovely duet but im not sure why MV sings in a false voice. It gets quite irritating after a while. Those who have seen Umaramanans stage performance should have observed that she rarely smiles.
Her laughter in this song sounds very artificial :)

I have read thiramai was a good film. It had Revathi, raveendhar, sathyaraj, senthaamarai etc. Revathi comes as a drug addict? Or is it Raveendar?

Bala thanks. Nope, Never heard that song before.

Ramki, there is a song 'kadhal mayakam azhagiya kangal tudikkum',(sorry I dont know tamil),very long back I heard this song, composed by IR and sung by UR and Jayachandran(his voice sounds like KJY ), movie 'pudumai penn', heard this song through MIO.

Ramki -

Good duets this week! I had not heard Indha Azhagu Deepam in many years, now there's light in my memory! :D MVD konjam parody dhaan!
There was this film, the name of which escapes me, but it was the debut film of AV Ramanan, and that had two songs by UR, I think. Was it called Neerottam?

Ramki

Thanks for your kindness. You have made my day by hosting both my requests that too on the same day.

Undhanin Paadal has some excellent violin pieces that IR alone can create such Marvels. Thanks, thanks and thanks once again


Thirami I think had Raveendran as Drug addict and Sathyaraj comes as a major who corrects Revathi's family I think. Azhagu deepam is one fine song by SG. The duo used to surprise us and this song was one such

Thanks, Thanks
Bala

Naaz

I believe you referring to 'Kadhal Kadhal Kadhal..' I believe there was a title song on the same lines. SG was the MD and if I am not mistaken AVR acted as the hero. He did act in one more movie at the same time.

Thanks
Bala

Nice songs. Thanks Ramki.

Isn't there another song where MV imitates CSJ? He also sang couple of songs in Surulirajan's voice. But his imitation of TMS, for Sivaji, did not quite hit the mark.

I have never heard the UR-Mano song before. Nice tune, but the instrumentation is so run-of-the-mill. And Mano even moans like SPB.

RR,

Here, there and everywhere :-)

meera,

kaadhal mayakkam was by PJ & sunandha

thiramai was not bad at all. Both Revathi and Raveender come as drug additive in that movie.

NeelD. the other song is 'sondhangaLE sutrangalE sOgam' in 'aduthaathu albert'

since UR song list, here is my contribution :)

sandhana kumbaa udambilE (Mano) - ponvilangu
thanneerilE mugam kaatum (Mano) - maNi kuyil
poothu poothu kulunguthadi (SPB) - kumbakarai thangaiyaa
kaadhil kEtathu oru paatu - (MV) - anbE Odi vaa

there are more, but I can't re-collect it at all :)

Friends,

I think we all have missed another nie song of UR, duet with KJY - kaNNane nee vara kAthirunthen.... Movie ?

Ramki,

thanks for presenting these two songs. Really nice songs.

MSV imitates CSJ in Sugaraagame en sugabOgame for Janakaraj - KanniRasi
Wasn't it SPB who sang konjam odhungu naan thaniya pesanum unnOda for SuruLi - Cant remember the movie name though!

Dear Ramki,

Undhanin padal ennai song - Nice one!! Idhu varai kettadhae ilai.Thank you !!

My spl thanks to Bala !!!!

With Love,
Usha Sankar.

RC, it is not MSV it is MV, and it was indeed SPB who sang Konjum odhunga (v. popular in radia srilanka) this was a Sankar Ganesh song, and seems like Surali was one major inspirer for many many comedy songs from IR and SG.

indha azhagu deepam..... kind of nice and slow! Ramki, please host songs featuring Vasu too some day! I love Vasu's voice! He is very gracious and singararasam thadhumbum in his voice!

I have never heard of 'undhanin paadal....' before!
'chokkanukku vaacha...' is a very catchy song! nil nil .....paattu padava too, its been long I listened to it!

natha1729: I meant MV and typed it as MSV and did not notice it until you said. Thanks!

RC,

I was referring to these two songs where I thought MV imitates Surulirajan.

1)solla vekkamA irukku sokkammA naisA naisA ...
2)enggenggum kaNdEnammA peNgaL thanggatthil ...

Neel D,

Glad you reminded 'engengum kandenamma'. Great spoofing of thengai by SPB. He was also too good in 'konjam othungu'.

Ramki, is there an imitation week coming on POW.. ? ;)

In addition to Kannirasi( sugabagame) I think MV 's another CSJ imitation song was 'ANANDHA THENKAATRU' ,with SPS , dont know name of film

Thanks everyone :)

SPB in suruLi's voice

vaa machaan vaa
veettukku veedu
kaNNe kaNNaana kaNNaa

RR:)

I think "ananda then katru" is from "manipur mamiyar"

there is one more song by MV in CSJ voice.

'sondhangalE sutrangalE sOgam enna' in aduthaathu albert. The song comes in the BG.

other imitations by MV. singinaa singi adiyaam sirichaa nethi adiyaam in 'krishnan vandhaan'

Pick #306

http://raretfm.mayyam.com/stream/pow06/vizhigale_mj.rm

Song: vizhigaLe vizhigaLe
Film: maamiyargaL jakkiradhai
Singer : SPB
lyrics: vairamuthu
Music: Chandrabose

The 'Jakkiradhai' warning in the title might have scared people from stepping into the cinemas to watch the film, but dont let it stop you from listening to this sweet solo by SPB.
He beautifully brings out the fine nuances of VM's lyrics depicting the expectations of an expecting father.

'MJ" is a typical, old fashioned MIL-DIL tug off war story. It had Pushapalatha has the MIL and NaLini has the DIL. Raveendar was NaLinis jodi and todays song is picturised on him.

I sincerely hope this is a original tune of CB's :)

ellorum votu poda poiteengala?No responses for this song so far!I have not heard this song before .But anyway thanks for the song Ramki.

SPB arumaiyaga Paadi Irukkirar! (sila neram konjam Jaasthiyagave Izhukkirar --> Kavithai Punaiyngalllllll --> Ore Izhuvai). CB seldom experimented with either tune or interludes, so nothing much to say about them.

Soft song and nice one. I do not want to image Nalini doing a bharathanatiyam like steps for this song (which I think should be based on the music)

Thanks Ramki for the rare song, hearing it for the first time
