Pick #485
Song: pOgAthE pOgAthE
Film: Veerapandiya Kattabomman
Music: G.Ramanathan
Singer: Rathnamala
Lyrics: ?
Year: 1959
Today's song is a tribute to the singer and actor Rathnamala who recently passed away. pOgAthE is not a rare song but it is the only solo I have that was sung by Rathnamala. Though she had a unique voice and expressive singing Rathnamala only sang a handful of songs in Tamil films.

Veedu Varai Uravu: Gemini Ganesan and Sowcar Janaki. Music by MSV
Kalyaanamam Kalyaanam: Jaishankar and Jayachitra (in dual role). Music by Vijayabaskar
My respects to the departed soul. I heard Rathnamala acted in some movies and stage dramas also. She acted in Parasakthi when it was on stage, it seems.
Pogadhe pogadhe is with too high dose of azhugai. When I watched VKB, somehow I could not appreciate this song. Did not suit Padmini :-(
'pogaathe' is a real saddie.. Not surprisingly, it's in Mukhari raagam. I don't know much about Rathnamala, but have requested Manisekaran to post. Hope he will drop by.
Jack: I forgot about it. tfmlover did send the audio too, Ill post it.
Welcome Neel. :) Ramki and I have discussed many times about your knowledge of songs and movies and also of your rare collections.
The first song by PJ and VJ is new to me. Never heard it. I enjoyed it. Nice pick. Can I expect rare VJ songs from you now and then? Do I sound greedy? :)
pogaadhe song talks about bad omens that whenver I listen to this song itself, I feel that something bad is going to happen. :)
Thanks SN23, RR and jn. I am looking forward to Manisekaran's writeup on Rathnamala. I realize "pOgAthE" is an extremely sad song. I know some people who refuse to listen the song citing the same reason as jn.
jn, I will certainly feature rare songs by VJ now and then.
Pick #486
Song: nAn AdinAl
Film: Manippayal
Music: M.S.Viswanathan
Singer: S.Janaki
Lyrics: ?
Year: 1973
No screaming, no panting, yet very sexy. SJ gives a sensuous rendition without crossing any boundary. MSV gives a sophisticated presentation of a common situation song.
Manippayal was a decent entertainer. Had all elements of a formula movie. Master Shekar and Baby Indira played very important roles. The adult leads were AVM Rajan and Jayanti. Manorama and Thengai on the comedy track but was built into the main story. I forget the name of the actor who played the children's father and the actor who played villain. But all characters had memorable parts.
Other songs from Manippayal - Jayachandran sang a lovely song "thangga chimiz pOl udalO" and another reasonably popular song at its time was "ENdiyamma ithukku pEru" by some new singers. I don't believe there was any song by TMS or PS in the film. There was an ADMK propaganda song by LRE and Seerkazhi, I think.
