Yeithoa Ninaivugal - Memories of Another Day

Thoda varavo thondaravo from film IruNilavugal and MD: Rajan Nagendra. He has done a good job in IruNilavugal.
Other good songs are
1. Anandam adhu ennada
2. Anbulla mannano sung by SPB/PS

Thoda varavo thondaravo ===

Thoughts go years back. The original was a wonderful duet by RajKumar and SJ in the movis 'Giri Kanya'. What an excellent composition 'Nagu Nagutha Nee Baruve'.

I was very angry with KD when he wrote a lyric that I cannot sing aloud in front of the family members. Even now I feel sad that such a great tune got a 'DUBBINGISH' lyrics.

Great singing once again by SJ (was it Rajan or Nagendra humming with her?)

Balaji

Engengo sellum is available on mp3.com I think. Just go there and search for 'Golden Hits' or 'tamil power', you will definitely get it along with Poonthalirada and others

Mythila thanks for the trivia on Rajan Nagendra, I'd no idea that Anandam adhu ennada was composed by a nontamil MD.

Raj and raj, 'ithuthaan muthal raathiri' is from Oorukku Uzhaippavan. the posters had MGR in full coloured 3 piece suit holding a big machine gun. awe !

Today's walk back in time yielded a couple of songs and here I go:

1.

Kadalin alaigal pongum
Anaal Karayai thaandumo
Perum(?) Karayai theendumo

One of the charanams start off as
"chinna chinna kaaranathaal..."
This song is a SPB solo and for classical buffs it is asal agamrk Desh!!!! A real nice song, more information on lyrics, film and MD( looks to me like IR) requested.

2.
Vizhigal Meeno Mozhigal Theno
Nilvin magale needaano

Another SPB solo and this time around its Kalyani

I remembered 2 more JC songs!!!!

1.
(Saamathil)? Pootha malli chandirana saatchi vechu
Able to hum the rest but the lyrcis miss me.

2.
Saamakozhi yeh koovudamma

Aanandam Adhu Ennada - Rajan Nagendra? what a super song! ammadi thamasha aadada - SPB' singing takes the song to great heights

Raj

Chinna chinna kaaranathaal
kannamathil neer thuligal
ennai mattum purindhukondaal
athanyum then thuligal

-Magarandham-1981-SPB- S-G

Vizhigal meeno
mozhigal theno
nilavin magale neethaano
-Ragangal Maaruvathillai-1983-SPB-IR

Saamathil pooththa malli
Chandiranai saatchi vechaen
Samiyae unnai enni
laabathai varavu vechaen

Mohathil vizhundhu vitta
Mundhaanai izhuthadhamma-
Degathin kurai marandhu
thenpaangu paadudhamma

-Ungalil Oruthi-1976-JC-VJ-MSV

Saamakozhi yeh koovuthamma
aasaiyulla seval
oorukkenna kaaval
pakaathil vandhu nillama
vetkkathai vittu

-Ponnu Oorukku Pudhusu-1979-IR-SPS-IR

The last song reminds me of the other great song in the file "Solai kuyile kaalai kadhire" in the more common madhyamavathi raagam. Very good song and if I remeber right was also picturised well.
Todays list from me
Aadungal paadungal pillai ponvandugal
PEsa koodadhu verum pEchchil sugam hoi - Aduthavarisu
Oru kunguma chengamalam malar .. thanga mugam - Aaradhani.
One more good hamsadhwani from Vaazhkkai
Kaalam maralaam nam kaadhal maarumaa...

Im not sure if this song was discussed before, I also dont know the movie too
"Enna solli naan ezhudha en mannavanin manam kuliraa.."

Kamal for Mohan in the film Oh maane maane
Ponmaanai theduthe en veenai paadhuthe...

Saravanan Sir!!

Thanks a lot for the fantastic input ( as usual!!!). I am not aware of the film or the song
situation for Kadalin Alaigal.Probably you can add more light in that direction.
Could you also post the complete lyrics as well? TIA..:-).

I thought over the song, the lyrics,the choice of melody and the rendition.IMO the lyrics
and the raaga gel so very well.Look at the involvement with which SPB renders it..I think
he loves Desh...reminds me of his dialogue with Suhasini in Mandhal Urudhi Vendum
and he sings the pallavi of the classic Desh song from Or-Iravu, "Thunbam Nergaiyil
Yazh edutthu nee inbam serkamaattaya".Would luv to hear that sound track of SPB's rendition
of that classic.

BTW is kadalin alaigal song available somwhere on the net? Perhaps can request bb to post in
SOTD .WOuld luv to hear it.For the benefit of others ..Desh is a light classical melody
and you have only the so called tukkadas-smallish compositions rendered at the end of
concerts in it. But SPB's rendition IMO is a treatise on this raaga. Apart from Thunbam
Nergaiyil and Kadalin Alaigal I dont remember any major song in Desh. More info welcome.


Incidentally remembered a few more songs!!!

1.
Uravugal Thodargathai
Dinam dinam valarpirai
Iniyellam sugame-JC Film?/MD?

2.

Thogai ilamayil
Aadivaruguthu vaanil Mazhai varumo
then sindum neram naan padum raagam

This one is an SPB(solo??) in another Carnatic scale Lathangi!!!

CM ...I very well remember SP Shailaja's rendition of Solai kuyile. Offcourse the other songs u posted as well namely Pesakoodathu and Kaalam maaralam...:-).

Manadhil Urudhi vendum brings to mind the KJY song "Sangathamizh Kaviyae Sandhangal sollum Isai kuyile"....!!
