ramki,
thanks for reminding me about the song choodamani by chitra. i think it must have been one of her earliest songs. her voice was raw in the song. i was looking for that film name.

Ramki,
The Sankar-Salim-simon song is Sindhunadhipoovae:-))
Ravy,
Its interesting you mention sindhunadhipoovae; I have always liked this song and gradually forgotten it over the years. But, interestingly when I first "Kannalane..." from Bombay the first thing that struck me was Sindhunadhipoovae.
I guess both are in the same scale(kind of arabic) but more interestingly the 2nd stanza begining in Kannalane very closely resembles the line "yehi tho pyar hai, mohabat ki nishani hai".
Sorry for the digresion, just wanted to share.
NOV; Where are you??
Sashi: There is another song that was copied from KannaLanae .. it starts as Sollamalae - I don't have any other info. about this song.
My next selection is Bhuvana oru ?. (*ing Rajini, Sivakumar, Sumithra) MD - IR
Again I haven't seen this movie. There could be more than 3 songs that I'm going to mention here.
1. Poonthendaralae - JC and SJ(?). Nice duet. Sivakumar's is a playboy character. I suppose he was trying to woo sumitra in this song.
2. Vizhiyilae malarndhadhu - SPB. My pick. Excellent varNaNai song. The flute piece in the intro. music is just mesmerising
3. Raja enbar - SPB, SJ. Another good one that fits the storyline. This is the first movie that showcased Rajini's acting talents in a character role even before 6 - 60 varai. This one had a good storyline because it was adopted from Maharishi's popular(kuru)novel.
sollamalae is from poove unakkaaga.MD is SAR
The interesting thing about "Sollamale", I think, is that the whole structure of the song is exactly like "Kannalane" (both the male and female voices, swaras etc..), but it's not a note for note copy...
Katrinile varum geetham is the movie.
Songs are
1. Kanden Engum Poomagal natiyam
2. Oru Vanavil Pole
3. Thaya rai thaya
These are gems of raaja.
Oru vanavil pole is somewhat similar to the hindi number "kabhi kabhi".
Andhapurathil oru maharani from Deepam has such fusion in it that makes some people wonder what stuff raaja had in 1978.
Theertha karayinilae senbaga pushpangale sindhidum muthukkale
Theertha karayinilae senbaga pushpangale sindhidum muthukkale - i think either was sung by k.j.jesudas or jayachandran, the actress was radhika
There is a duet by spB and PS from the film 'megathukkum dhagamundu'(*Ing sarath,Rajini sarma)-yaarukaavadhu jnabagam irukka?
Ramki , Here is the answer after so many years!!!
The song is 'Maragada megham sindum mazhai varum neram idhu' . I rate this song as one of the best songs of MSV in the late 70's(which started getting rarer). Could anybody tell which raagam is this song based on?
Few additions to the nostagia trip
1. Vaanam enge - a melodious duet in Kalyani ragam (by Jeyachandran, Janaki)from film nenjil adum poo onru- a Sridhar movie, music by IR which never saw the light
2. AI vagai malargalai kai vazhi manmadhan
edupathum thodupathum idham - A fantastic song by SJ with SNSurendar's humming with IR music (some late 70's movie??)
3. Thoda varavo thondharavo - a coy duet by SPB /SJ in film Irunilavu , music RajanNagendra
4.Poonthottam
poovil pennil jaadaigal - an SPS solo from 'nadhiyai thedi vanda kadal' music by IR, another unreleased movie.
5. Udaya kaalame from an unreleased film Panchami , a BM movie with IR's treat , sung by PS
6. veru idam thedi povaalo - a classic solo by VJ from sila nerangalil sila manithargal MSV music
7. Oomai pennai pesa sonnal uravo a rare song in Ranjini raagam, sung by SJ from film?? music must be MSV , sometime in mid 70's.I think the movie is Alaigal , again Sridhar's touch.
8. 'Ayiram ninaivu' by SPB - I recollect Music director Thayanban(of film Unnidathil naan, he assisted MSV) telling us that MSV drilled SPB umpteen number of times till he got the opening humming(oho aha..) right.
'Unnidathil ennai koduthen' by SJ and 'ellorum paarka en ulaasa vazhkai' by LRE - great songs from avalukkendru oru manam , another Sridhar's movie with MSV music.
9.Mudhal mudhal varum sugam a melodious duet by SPB and VJ from kaalangalil aval vasantham MD: VB
10.Naano kan paarthen, neeyo man paarthai sung by KJY from film???? music???
11. Neeya azhaithathu a lovely Revathi raagam based duet by SPB/SJ in film Alaiosai and music by IR.
