The Golden Era of Dr.IR and Dr.SPB

App: Looks like "missed songs count" will touch double digits in 1989 itself

VVP was also a 1989 Deepavali release and it was still early days for SR as a full fledged main stream hero (he had made his mark as Villian in 80s). He was trying to launch himself as MGR's protege (this movie title VVP was indicative of that). 1989 had multiple releases (like Chinnappadas, Pick pocket in addition to VVP) with him as the hero. If I remember it right, SR's manager (guess his name was Ramanathan) produced one movie per year from 1989-1994 (VVP, Nadigan, Brahma, Thirumathi Palanisamy, Udan Pirappu, one 1994 Deepavali release were the movies - Murali sir will have more details) and the intention apparently was sustaining SR's market as hero (when there were so many heroes in the fray).

Except for 1994 release, all others had IR's music (3 of them were directed by P.Vasu) and had some excellent SPB hits (guess you will be covering them in this thread). For some reason, IR had used only SPB (not Mano, MV has sung one or two songs in total for SR in IR's music) for SR movies (in early 90s when Mano was getting lots of songs in IR's music) and besides KH, SR only seems to have had this privilege (of SPB exclusively singing for him).

My POT cassette had IR's version of 'ellOrudaiya vAzhkkaiyilum oru pombaLa uNdu' and it's a composition that's definitely worth a listen (guess in SPB's voice, it will probably be sounding even better).

That was mainly because my TN bus trips were kind of dwindling...
