HI GB

I think the first line is..

"muthukkaL sindhi thithikkum mozhiyil kaNNE viLaiyAdu
sevvandhi poovin kannangaL meedhu chithira kOlamidu"

the film is "yArukku mapiLLai yArO"

Thanks Madhu,
Yes..that is the songs i required. Do have it? if yes..pls post it.

Jack

Ramki: Perfect your narration on PS song. Apt Gambeeram + Midhamana uNarvu + Thigattadha sweetness in voice + above all that crystal clear words. There is no replacement yet for her. After reading posts of Jn and Madhu, I could imagine how Savithri and GG would have acted. Savithri has that charm in her face with beautiful eys. She must have enjoyed acting for this song.

To surprise you, this is the first time I am hearing this song.

Hey, how about Sowcar Janaki for Aiyer bhashai? She is damn good in pronounciation... nannaa irukkumOliyO :lol:

sowkar janaki will do apt justice
and chachu also

Sujatha did an awesome job in paritchaiku neramachu ..

Pick #381

http://tfmpage.com/stream/pow06/oh_aok.rm



Song: oh krishna prabhu
Movie: avaL oru kaaviyam
Singer : PSuseela
Lyrics: vaali?
MD: VKumar

Another nice song with melody enhancement by PSuseelas voice and rendition.

Thanks to DD, i got to watch obscurities like AOK. It had Jaiganesh, Sumithra and Savithri. I think this was NT's
last film. She played JG's mother and had a better role than the ones she had in petra manam pithu etc.
In fact the avaL in the title referred to savithris character..yes she dies in the climax and becomes a kaviyam.
Todays song is picturised on Sumithra.

Nice one, but seems inspired by Lata's 'nanda nandana' meera bhajan.

Nice one. I thought this song composed by M.S.V. now only i know it is by V.Kumar. Thanks for good song and informations.

good rendition by PS and soft music by Vkumar enhances this song.

Thank you guys :)

Pick #382

http://tfmpage.com/stream/pow06/kaatrinile_ror.rm



Song: kaatrinile varum geetham
Movie: rasigan oru rasigai
Singer : Vani Jairam
Lyrics: pulamaipithan
MD: Ravindran

One of my favorite Vani jairam solos and the only one(?) song she sang for Ravindran in tamil. She begins the song with her gambeera aalabanai and continues the song with same vigor throughout. Except for the abaswara drums , the interludes are good too. Do not miss the musical piece at the end of the song.

ROR was discussed in detail when another song was hosted in POW.

Ramki, the humming part before reaching pallavi is very special in Krishna prabhu song. I never heard about this film at all. Such a good song wasted in unknown film (at least to me)

VJ super in ROR song. Aalab is the greatest part of the song. Thank you a lot

This song is in Nattai raga (no surprise if you were reminded of 'mahaganapathim' alapana and this).

Ramki,
the previous ROR song we hosted is here.

Dear Ramki,
Thanks for the rare gem.Nice rendition by VJ.The violin piece is so Great.

Dear RR,
Thanks for the lilnk. Katrinilae padalil konjam thilang aiyum feel pannugiren.

With Love,
Usha Sankar.

Beautiful song kARRinilE. Thanks Ramki.

If I remember correctly, VJ may have sung a song in Laksmi Vanthachu, composed by Raveendran. But I have never heard the song. Does anyone know if there is one?

Vel, My pleasure

RR and Usha shankar thanks for the details.

NeelD, im not aware of her song in LV but i think she sang for Padmini in 'thaaye neeye thunai'. I think its a duet with Chitra.

Pick #383

http://tfmpage.com/stream/pow06/kannan_kv.rm



Song: kaNNan varuvaan indru
Movie: kaNNan varuvaan
Singers : Jikki, PSuseela
Lyrics: ?
MD: Shankar Ganesh

A rare duet by the TFM veterans. Though jikkis voice shows her age, she still sounds good. PS , as always, is in best form.
I think the song is picturised on Lakshmi (PS)and venniradai Nirmala(Jikki). Jaishankar was the hero.

I have no other details. 'Poovinum melliya poongodi' is another popular song from KV.

Ramki: Nice treats for Sri jayanthi. :)
KaaRRinile varum geetham is one of my favourite songs where VJ is at her best. :) Thanks.

Jn kula deivathai maathitaangaLa? :)

I'm not aware of any VJ song in LV.

Ramki -

Kurumbinilum is a lovely solo in which PS sounds young and pure. A fine choice to begin the Kannan Week!
Kaatrinile Varum Geetham is one of Raveendran's stellar compositions (I prefer it to Aezhisai Geethamae, which got more air-time) and VJ renders it impeccably. Regarding your "abaswaram drums" comment: This solo is the opening titles song (Ambika as Karnatak singer a la Sri Vidya and Aezhuswarangal in AR) and that "tonal" ("konal"?) shift in the orchestra is when "Nadanam"Saleem or "Publicity": Elegant is flashed on the screen....or was it Stunts and Stills? :D And that's the context for the jarring bit in the interlude...Being a titles track, I don't believe this song was featured on any of the song-clips shows on DD.

Great week, and great going!

Jikki romba kashta padraanga. But trying to manage.

Ramki, is there any problem at the end of the song. Suddenly it stops and begins again with a bit by Jikki. Any tech snag (airlines language)?

Thanks everyone :)

Vel- the song was transferred from a cassette
and it is this way in the cassette too.

Pick #384

http://tfmpage.com/stream/pow06/maalai_ii.rm



Song: maalai mayanginaal
Movie: inikkum iLamai
Singers : PBSrinivas, SPShailaja
Lyrics: ?
MD: Shankar Ganesh

PBS is one of the popular singers whose career went downswing after the entry of singers like SPB, KJY, JC etc. His voice was best suitable for soft characters played by Gemini Ganesan, Kalyan kumar etc. With the advent of angry heroes in the 70s his voice did not find any use with our MDs.
His only tryst with IR 'thendrale nee pesu' did not find many listeners.
How many songs did he even sing in 70's?
'Inikkum iLamai' had Sudhakar, Radhika and Vijaykanth. I believe its VK's first film.
Im not sure if LRE solo inikkum iLamai ennidam irukku is from this film.

Hi Ramki..

anyway PBS was giving his best.. reminding me of "kaatru vandhal thalai saayum" song :)
BTW "Inikkum iLamai enndiam irukku" is by VJ from the same film.

VK's first film is "Dhoorathu Idi Muzhakam"

Shankar

I guess 'engengum un vannam' is also in 70's.

Thanks ramki,
You did what you promissed. I really appreciate your effort. Yes..you are correct.."Inikkum Ilamai" is first movie for Vijaya Kanth. As Madhu said, the other nice songs in that movie "Inikkum Ilami" sung by VJ.

RR, "Engengum Ponvannam" also on 70's movie name: "Kannamma". So nice one of PBS. That song also composed by Shakar-Ganesh.

Jack

Ramki -

This one is rare for sure! I don't think I've heard this since the film's release! (was it in the film, btw?) The interlude traces one of MSV's MGR hits...any clues?
Besides the title song (Inikkum Ilamai) there was another duet I recall: "Maanaamadhuraiyile Maanthoppu Maththiyile..."(MVD/SPS or SJ?) This film was directed by M.A. Kaajaa, yes?

kaatrinilae one of VJ's best songs.... ROV - all he songs are treat for ears. thanks to Ravindran.
LV enakku gyabagam iruppathellaam kaathal vennilaa matrum revathy and arunthathi pattu....
maalai mayanginaal SPSin kuralilum oru ilamai irukku. rare combination of singers.... compared to thendralae nee pesu where I could find PBS struggling to sing the song, PBS sings this song very well.

Madhu thanks for the correction.

Naaz, i too think its by Kaja.

Pick #385

http://tfmpage.com/stream/pow06/aanandha_at.rm



Song: aanandha veLLathile
Movie: aagaya thamaraigaL
Singers : SPShailaja , Malaysia Vasudevan
Lyrics: Muthulingam
MD: Gangai Amaran

Another good song with SPShailaja's cute voice. MV too sings well. I love the starting piece.
MV and SPS has not many melodious duets together. They have sung more dappankuthu songs than such pleasing numbers.

AT had Revathi, sathyaraj and Suresh. Other than this i do not have much details on this film.

Btw this is not a Shailaja week :)

SPShailaja's cute voice :) You must be joking :)

an average song..... neither voice nor music is impressive..... sorry for the comments.....

Is any one having following song? if so pls post. I am searching so longtime this nice song.

Song: IDHO EN KATHALI KANMANI
Movie: SOUNTHARYAME VARUGA..VARUGA..
Music: ??

Jack

I am new to this forum but has been closely following up all the songs featured.
Anantha vellathile is a nice song and remembered watching the movie schooling time .
By the way has been searcing for long songs from Athisaya Piravigal which starred Prabhu, Karthik, RAdha and Rajalakshmi. All the songs were good but I can only remember "Mogam Ennakoru Ragam Mutham Athil oru talam".

FM,
Compare to current female singers, SPS voice is more than cute :).

Mani thanks for your honest comments.

Iniyan, i do not have that song :(

Pick #386

http://tfmpage.com/stream/pow06/aasai_mmp.rm



Song: aasai nenjin kanavugaL
Movie: mugathil mugam paarkalaam
Singers : Malaysia Vasudevan, PSuseela
Lyrics: ?
MD: iLaiyaraja

Another Song thats shows why IR was the most sought out MD of 70s and 80s. The orchestration , tune and structure has his stamp all over it.
PS and MV have sung very few songs together. 'azhage unnai',
'kanni ponnu kai mele', 'thennankeetrum', 'mappiLLaikkum' etc are some other hits by this combination.
Todays pick is another good melody by them.
MMP had vijaykumar and Sumithra. 'akka oru rajathi'(JC,Jency) is another good song from MMP.
Any other good song?

Asainenjin kanavugal :D

Superb pick Mr.Ramki :D

Veena, guitar & everything was present ! Very lengthy preludes & interludes, typical of Raja !

The rhythm had shades of Kurinji malarin vazindha rasathai but I always enjoy MV songs .

Yeah, this song had a rare combination of MV- PS !

Thanks for the excellent pick. :D

Asai nenjin is a sweet song. Haven't heard in a long time. Thanks Ramki. BTW, could you also add "Year" to the song statistics when available?

I think 'aasai nenjin' had more airtime than 'akka oru rajaththi ava azhagha sirichchu naal achchu'. I think most of the songs in 'paayum puli' are by MV and PS.

Ramki..

MMP had sudhakar and radhika too..
(kizhakke pogum rayilil eri maerke poi vittar appadinnu heading koduthu radhikavin swimsuit poster pathi comment koduthadhu kumudham)

indha song picturised on which pair ?

Thanks Nakkeeran.

NeelD, including the year in the stats is a good idea. But i have to depend on websites to get that info.

Madhu no clue on the actors who appeared in this song. Regarding the swimsuit comment, wasnt that for inikkum iLamai film?
