:lol: Great song indeed! and a nice "thrilling" movie too :)

megame thoothaga vaa - nice duet with p. susheela mam :clap:

Welcome Sunil :)

Lot of songs to catchup and there are some unheard ones. Thanks App for the picks. Poovanthula is a beautiful beautiful song and of all things in the song SPB's vocals is my most favorite aspect of that song, the style and emoting are a class apart.

I did state bravely that the 80s will be diluter compared to 70s in terms of impact on me. But it is getting tested every day, app :)

idhellAm apdiyE oru flow-la vandhirukku. I wonder whether Raja ever got time to stop and savour the sweet, aromatic, flavour-ful dishes he created just like that.

One thing I will always have over Mr Rasiah is that he never got to enjoy listening to his creations as much as I did. You may be uber-talented Raja-sir, but you never got as much pleasure out of your creations as I did :poke:

And I guess that holds for all of us :) I am sure Raja would have forgotten some of the songs he has composed :)

Plum :thumbsup:.....

Yes SPB had a "unique" way to sing this :notworthy:

Vaa ponmayile from Poonthalir (1979) :musicsmile:

Plum :-)

To this day, the most compelling question -to which there's no convincing answer - is what stuff really thrills Raja (or, in what he finds enjoyment) that results in a terrific output from him :-)

It's pretty obvious (i.e. to me) that he operates at a different mental platform from his admirers. Who knows, he may not even find any thrill in listening to a song once he finishes recording it. May be, he can enjoy the same song after many years - not even remembering that it was done by him :-)

(The standard comparison analogy - tasty biriyAni is often enjoyed only the next day by the expert cook, he/she doesn't find the same level of taste as to those who are being served immediately after cooking)
