The Golden Era of Dr.IR and Dr.SPB

[app_engine]

ok, my chronology-driven-IR-SPB-pick for the day:

#6 ஒரு காதல் தேவதை
இரு கண்கள் பூமழை
இவள் ராஜ வம்சமோ
ரதி தேவி அம்சமோ
(சாய்ந்தாடம்மா சாய்ந்தாடு, 1977)

Very sweet number that instantly puts one in a carefree summer evening of 1977 !

This song has such a strong 'evening feel' written all over it and I'm reminded of a typical setting of playing ball-badminton from 4 PM-5.30 or so in the school and come home, wash and relaxedly listen to SLBC for the neengaL kEttavi. Though they used to announce lyricist & MD along with the requesters' names, I didn't pay much attention to MD during those initial Raja days. So, didn't associate IR for this song when it arrived. Listening to this today, one can appreciate that it has all the signature IR elements of 70's!

Ofcourse I'm not a big fan of SPB-PS combo for duets despite the fact that there are a ton of great numbers that I love despite this dislike. They sound like - to repeat what I posted earlier in the forum - akkA thambi

Googling shows that this movie was a Sivakumar-Sridevi starrer with Devaraj-Mohan (directors of annakkiLi). Otherwise, no first hand knowledge of this movie. One may want to also check out this MV-SJ number nenjukkuL poo manjam from this movie which has a jazzy prelude and possibly defined a template for some later-day IR songs
