So, going by app's description, either I have some ESP of a previous birth - or that is how much Raja can paint a landscape and milieu and transport it to your heart. I think Jai covered this concept few months back in PFC.
Ofcourse, you can always question the authenticity of the thiruvizhaa evoked in m y mind but then that is why I never shared this here until I saw app's real-life descriptions that startlingly match with my mind-picture,
That is Ilaiyaraaja!

Thank you V_S, it's impossible for me to listen to IR's 70's songs (or for that matter, the 80's ones) and not have some kind of nostalgia Issue of formative years, I think

Beautiful, App_eng.
thanks for your time & passion.
late 70s... some of us are forever fond of early IR.
It is hard for me to remember what I had for breakfast or lunch or dinner just a previous day, but nostalgia about my Ilayaraja sangeethams & the places we grew up, all those adolescent years I spent are in my memory forever. It is soothing for my mind and manasu santhosham.
thanks for S.P.B- Janu paadalgal link.
amazing compositions. I will enjoy at the end of the day.
vinatha.

One small nit pick, the song 'pAdu nilAvE' is from the movie 'udhaya geetham' (and not 'thEn kavidhai' as this page says, that phrase is actually the second line of this song
)
Correction Done. Thanks.

என் மனதில் அன்பை விதைத்ததென்ன உந்தன் மோகம்தானா!
பாலு-ஜானகி குரல்களில் ஒரு ஐஸ்கிரீம் சுவைப் பாடல். அழகான பாடலில் திருஷ்டி போல எனக்குப் படுவது அந்த "உய்யலா உய்யாலூலா" கோரஸ் தான். அதற்கு பதிலாக ஏதேனும் வார்த்தைகளை நிரப்பியிருக்கலாம்.
சொல்லிச் சொல்லி ஆறாது சொன்னா துயர் தீராது...

#12 மேகமே, தூதாக வா, அழகின் ஆராதனை
(கண்ணன் ஒரு கைக்குழந்தை , 1978 )
This "radio-only-hit" song from an obscure movie should be quite an interesting one for any who look into IR/SPB archives. My listen this morning took me straight to the valve radio days when even switching on a tube light with an aluminium choke could create intolerable noise in the radio reception, spoiling the listening pleasure. (In our home's case, it was even worse as the power supply at one point of time was shared with a school building and there could be any number of noise sources).
This is a "hurried" kind of song. 3 stanzas in a 3 minute song (which means very limited size interludes, hardly any prelude, no postlude)! That is also reflected in the beat progression for the pallavi while the saraNam has a typical IR tablA.
Nevertheless, the song is sweet - SPB/PS reflecting the joyful mood of the tune and singing with energy. I'm wondering whether the song got recorded in 1976/77 as the name of the movie seems to try and leverage the badhrakALi hit. The structure of the song also suggests somewhat earlier time period (i.e. than that of the more polished ones that we see in 1978 Chittukkuruvi, IO etc).

I have two more songs in 1978 (will be posting them tomorrow / day after) and both are SPB + chorus kinds and not duets.
So, until 1978, i.e. during the first 3 years of IR's TFM existence, SPB had equal number of duets with SJ & PS (5 each).
Of these, all the PS ones were at least radio hits while SJ had 4 (the other SJ number from peN jenmam I heard only last week, when looking around for this thread).
The sole VJ number was a huge hit.
So, at least from the SPB-IR combo POV, there was no "sidelining of PS to support SJ" from IR .
If anything, it was "sidelining VJ" !
