**aruvi** · 17th June 2007, 04:45 AM

Playback singer Chithra finished 25 years as playback singer. Her first song released in 1982 under the music of malayalam MD, MG Radhakrishnan. She entered Tamil industry 2 years later, under Ilayaraja's music direction in "Poove Poochudava". Her first big hit was "Chinnakuyil Paadum Paattu", hence, the nickname "Chinna Kuyil". As part of commemorating her for the achievement, Malayala Manorama is carrying special coverage. For anyone here who can read Malayalam:

Ahaaa...how long has it been since I started a thread in this forum

Well, before someone comes complaining for Tamil content, here is a favourite clip of mine. The inimitable SPB trying to get Chithra to talk on stage. And Anjali Anjali song.

A detailed look at Chitra's career...wonderful article.

Aruvi - You will be surprised to know "Chinna Kuyil Paadum Pattu" is not Chitra's first song. Please read.

Genesis,
There is very little that I don't know about Chithra's career

True enough, her first Tamil song was for the film "Neethana Antha Kuyil", but the first film to release was Poove Poochudava. And moreover, her first song to become a bit hit was Chinnakuyil Paadum Paattu.

Digress:
Muthalla puriyala...ippa puriyuthu

Aala vudunga!

Is it that the films all released at the same time? It has been confirmed through most interviews and articles that, in Tamil, she recdrded "Poojaik Etha poovithu" first from Neethana Antha Kuyil, but that Fazil's Poove Poochudava released first.

I will definitely make an effort to hear.
