Excellent song, Though Senthazham poovil was more popular than Raamn andalum song, I loved this song for SPB charisma and RK style of dancing!
SPB sing it as raamE andalum, instead of Raman andalum to suit RK's style! This is SPB for you

That's the thing. He had imagined what kinda attakaasam Rajini is going to do with this song, but Rajini ran away with it. the part, "nee keeta keetatha kuduppen, ketkura varatta kelunggadaa..." and the snarling look on Rajini's face...what a match, what a match!!!

Hi All

I have heard an awesome Romantic song by SPB + KSC , it is something along these lines
'Azhagiya pon maanin poomalai thaan vizhuthathu en thOzhil thaan'. I couldn't find it on google, may be because my words are wrong, If some one knows this song, please give the details/ Links.

I think the MD could be IR / SG or even S.A.Rajkumar.

Many thanks

#14 சொர்க்கம் மதுவிலே, சொக்கும் அழகிலே
(சட்டம் என் கையில், 1978 )

This is our last SPB/IR number from 1978. Jubiliant song with wind instruments and guitar freaking out. (Search and watch the video at youtube if you like the "step-cutting-bell-bottom-wild-Kamal-and-girls"). Bala's niche area - club songs - and he excels effortlessly and well supported by girl voices

So, 3 years and 14 hits in this combo - 3 in '76, 3 in '77 & 8 in '78. (Going forward, we'll see that this combo possibly doing this many hits in less than a quarter or so in later years).

Interesting to note that none of the SPB-IR numbers went unnoticed in 1978 (as in the case of two numbers in 1977 that I had to skip).

As we've noticed earlier, the music of IR kept getting a lot more polished during 1978, possibly due to the influence of collaboration with Sridhar / Mahendran who both - IMO - had ears for sophisticated music. Ofcourse IR had it inside him otherwise they couldn't have extracted (சட்டியில் இருந்தது , இன்னும் இருக்கிறது எடுப்பதற்கு). While BR inspired IR to hit out classics in his most powerful domain (folk with WCM embedded), these new associations brought out other areas - tribal, ICM rAgA based melodies, popular western format etc.

Some say Karthik Raja is a lot more talented than YSR. I think his main problem is lack of such "akappaikaL". Or, to use a better word, "theekkuchchikaL"
