Raja's Gems - the latest one you heard...Part 3

[jaiganes]

one more telugu waltz..
SPB - playfulness in the rendition - vera yaaru irukkaa ippo?

[jaiganes]

from the same movie..
papa eedu gola.. the prelude is so beautiful..
classy guitars joining hands with the brass trumpets.. beautifull
The beautiful breezy orchestration for 90s - those light weight guital+violins+ soft beats - really it marks the late 80s and 90s so well. Something to really remember.

To Suresh and all divyabharathi fans
Chittigumapadhave..
I was looking for this song for a while.. Beautiful transitions in charanam the raaga morphing that Raaja is well known for..

I was just relating this song with "papa kahtein " from Qayamat se Qayamat tak...The pallavi resembles the charanams of that hindi song in some way?
Again I have found the same with "Ek Do theen " and "Maru Go Maru Go" song

The Mankai nee song from "Inisai Mazhai" also has shades of "Mein Shayar to nahin" from Bobby

Suresh65,

Thanks for taking me back on a nostalgic journey.

"Moga Sangeetham" is from the 1978 Sivakumar, Sumithra starrer "Kannan Oru Kaikkuzhandhai". Another unremarkable film of the late 70s that history will remember purely for Raaja's magic (1978 alone, I can recall more than 10 such duds that, if not for Raaja's contribution, would be consigned to the dustbin of film history). Has a collection of lovely songs - apart from Susheela's "Moga Sangeetham" that you've recalled, the album features the smooth-as-silk "Thendrale Thoothaagavaa" by SPB & Susheela which hogged a lot of airtime those days, Vani Jayaram's breezy club song "Kannan Aruge Paadave", and 2 very short male solos - SPB's "Kaalayilam Parithiyile", and Raaja's pathos "Vayitril Sumandhaval".

Well, you spoilt my early morning start at work. Sent me reaching for my 78 collection, wistful memories..

Suresh,

Thanks for the info. My knowledge of those years as far as Tamil cinema is concerned is close to NIL. Will now listen to the other songs in this movie as well.

I am sure the day would have unfolded very well for you, if you leave aside the work related matters

Jai,

'Surya IPS' is aterrific album which I keep listening often. The movie per se, though it starred Venkatesh and Vijayasanthi, both leading actors of those time, was a third rate one. I endured the movie mainly because of the songs. Something typical of many movies Raja has given music to

And thanks for the Divya Bharathi video. Been a while since I heard this song,

here you go Raj, amazing Drums beat , I think it is that Siva mani the (drum specialist) on the drums, just listen to SPB sir when he hits High Octave (Octave 8) ! . Once you have heard it pls post your views, I was crazy about this song, when I was a kid in school. Used to put it on full blast in my dad's car

Talking about Energetic songs of Raja, one should not forget 'mEgam kottatum aAtam undu' From a Kamal movie(can't remember the name now ), sung by SPB.
SPB blasts in high notes with an amazing stamina
