That means, the #65 is going to be an extra-extra-special song.
A song that made jaiganes open a new thread looking for thousand such (but it was one in ten-thousand kind) :-)

"Podhum Podhum UnVesham" was played in radio sometime. "Kaddani Ramiah" have heard few times..Used to wonder those days, when several other Kuppai songs had more air time than these.
Anyways, your rush to go to a "suoer-duper" song is very understandable.
==> Great song Indeed; as it is one of those perfect songs..SPB/SJ at their best

Jai,
Hmm, clever. You cleverly turned out the ONE defining argument in the SVS vs Lal stakes as something like a முன் ஜாமீன். Case summarily dismissed forthwith, you and V_S fined for slander and libel. அபச்சாரம், ராஜாவுடன் ஸ்ரீகாந்த் தேவாவை ஒப்பிட்ட மாதிரி..
Just listened to Tegam Pattu (Nanthan Rajaa - SPB part) from Sattam. Gosh, I keep forgetting that it's by Ganggai Amaran. IR's jazz/disco sound is stamped all over it!!! The other slower numbers you can differentiate the sound (like Vazhvey MAyam), but I want to believe a conspiracy theory that says Raja was involved in this one. I believe. I believe.
#65 பூந்தளிராட
(பன்னீர் புஷ்பங்கள், 1981 , ஜானகியுடன்)
One doesn't need a high-tech music equipment to enjoy this song. I've heard it among heavily noised radio transmissions, from poorly recorded cassettes / CDs, with ear-blasting-volume-plus-wind on buses, using low-fidelity speakers (like the ones on laptops)...and the magic is still the same!
Phenomenal, phenomenal song with a great melody, sweet guitar (check the second interlude for ecstasy) and nice singing by the super pair! What a lucky fellow Suresh to get this great song in his career...and another great one in kozhi koovuthu (song that got appreciated by Paul Mauriat). He is among the few celebrities that I've seen in person (was dropping off his wife in Satabti Express...in the same coach in which me and my friend were travelling from Chennai to B'lore on a 1995 morning).
People today make fun of Santhana Bharathi as a comedian and who was "proxy" to Kamal (& KH is called "ghost"). P Vasu is made even more fun of (understandably so) for his Chandramukhees and Kuselans. However, the entry of these two as directors, in Panneer Pushpangal, was far from funny. One of the most sensible and nicely taken movies that dealt with teenage tantrums. With Pratap Pothen too around, B-V got one of the best scores ever from IR. Apart from this sweet duet, the movie featured 'Anandha rAgam' by Uma Ramanan & 'kOdai kAlakkARRE' by MV, two of the best songs ever in TFM!
IIRC, this and alaigal Oyvathillai (another teenage love movie but made in a crass way compared to PP) came during the same time period, my +2 to college transition summer. I saw the movie after a year or so in the college audi and was thoroughly impressed (never had a chance to revisit, however). The songs often play on my car and computer to this day!
Like I mentioned before, jai started a thread 1000 songs to hear before you die. triggered by this song :

The phrase that knocks me out is in the first interlude just before lalalllalalallaa, an intricate piece (what's the instrument?) after the choral violins cease

App - Thanga Kudame from Oru Iravu Oru Paravai definitely needs a place in this thread, IMO. Haven't heard the other songs in this movie but this one is a superb song.

Radha Radha from Meendum Kokila - it has a unique dreamy feel throughout, starting with the initial humming and those violins in the prelude which set the tone and that dreaminess is sustained throughout by the orchestration. Beautiful, honey-sweet rendition by SPB & SJ.
Now, I should get back to Poonthalir Aada and there is no coming back for a while :smile:
