Thanks usha akka

BTW, TRR is indeed one talented, I feel After IR, It was Shankar Ganesh Followed by TRR in the 80's!

Aval oru menaghai , enna oru arumaiyana paadal, ethani voice modulation, SPB simply out of this world, excellent composition by Shank as well!

SAnkar Ganesh - Originality romba kammi.

TR - apadi ilai. sondhamana karpanai. Thanakednru oru style...................

anyway, Aval oru menagai - good song from SG. avaraoda oru tune.. edho oru padathula use panninar...
continuous a romba varusham andha orae tune ai pottu konnutar..

Sorry akkA, that was just a remake song (original Telugu song was by another MD). No credits to S-G as they've just recorded it in Thamizh.

Agree with you on TR - his songs were original and immensely popular, sometimes eclipsing Raja songs even. However, he became so repetitive after early 80's and disappeared from the music scene.

The tune sounds so IRish but it could be Shankar Ganesh

It's from the movie 'vaNdikkAran magan', music by MSV. It has another superb SPB number "paduththAL, puraNdAL, uRakkamillai;

I don't know the lyric of the song (except this one line). Also, since vaNdikkAran makan was a Karunanidhi movie, none of us boys looked favorably at that film, despite "Thamizh nAttu james bondu"

However, the beautiful percussion arrangement of that song still rings in my ears! 'படுத்தாள்' என்று பாலு பாடும் போது பின்னணியில் உருட்டி உருட்டி அடிக்கப்படும் தாளம் இனிமையோ இனிமை!

Between 1977 & 1980, there was nice competition between MSV & IR and we got some fantastic songs from both.

Digression

We used to play self-made "trade" game during holidays in grand parents' home. My cousin (4 years older) is the leader and he decides everything - what we like, listen to, talk favourably etc. The trade game was with old record book cover & cigarette boxes converted into hand-painted currency / cards etc.

My cousin fixed the prices - ulagam suRRum vAliban : Price 10000, Tax 1200 (the highest). vaNdikkAran magan: Price 1000, Tax 50 (the lowest, with some comical picture drawn by him)...he was a big MGR fanatic

End-digression

BTW, my cousin is also a huge fan of MSV & SPB (but his most fav were IR / KJY)...
