#33 எங்கெங்கோ செல்லும் என் எண்ணங்கள்
இங்கே தான் கண்டேன் பொன் வண்ணங்கள்
(பட்டாக்கத்தி பைரவன், 1979 )

One of the all-time-popular great songs from the IR-SPB-SJ combo. This morning I saw that it's again on youtube The director should be given "top among killers of great IR songs on screen" award! (Ofcourse, Sivaji has to share part of the credit).

A song way ahead of its time in orchestration and sounds (although the stereo distribution was improper IMO as already mentioned in the dEvadhai post).

If anyone who was a TN teen in 1979 who listened to this song and still not become a fanatic of IR-SPB-SJ combo, he / she is a rare breed, IMO.

I am tempted to put this song in Priya Album. It has got that "foreign" feel to it and the orchestration of the song somehow reminds me of Ennuyir Neethaane..... Could it have been originally composed for Priya? Was Priya before or after PKB?

The only thing that does not match is SPB... Priya was all KJY.

App - Lovely pick in Vaa Pon Mayile, my favorite from Poonthalir. I too love the way the saranam joins the pallavi as pointed out by you. Can keep listening to this song forever in loop.

Genesis - Priya released in 1978 as per rakkamma.com and so is before PKB.

#35 மனதில் என்ன நினைவுகளோ
(பூந்தளிர், 1979)

Kind of smooth-jazz-like number sung by the brother-sister pair (SPB/SPS). I remember someone complaining in tfmpage about the higher levels in recording for the instruments. Personally, I found the "marakas" sound somewhat loud during the radio days (or some equivalent instrument that produces the high frequency rhythm sound).

The song overall, though, is a soft & sweet one, especially the humming parts are lovable. Lead guitar is freely used in the song and so was possibly the "key board". The instrumental postlude followed by the humming harmony of the voices is quite enjoyable - one would initially think that there's going to be another stanza but the song ends.

It was a regular on radio and was among the early popular numbers of Shailaja. Helped by her brother's popularity as well as a unique voice / way of singing, Shailaja had possibly a hundred hits or so in her career (and a big % of them came under IR's baton). I remember reading a kumudam feature where Shailaja & Jency met together and shared their TFM field experiences, a treat to read those days (don't remember which year). At that point of time, Shailaja had already crossed her 100 in movie songs while Jency didn't and that count-compare was part of their conversation. Along with chinnappuRa onRu, this was SPS's second number for the year with SPB / IR.

I'll write about the third number tomorrow, one of her very best

Though I like SPS voice, I liked Jency's voice more
