The Golden Era of Dr.IR and Dr.SPB

[Sureshs65]

app,

'devathai vandadhu' is based on the raga Saranga. I think he did one more Saranga in 'Parvathi Ennai Paradi' but that was by Malaysia. This is a lovely song. What a superb rhythm and also an excellent tune. Asha sounds so good.

BTW, Raja has picked Saranga again in 'Padithurai'. Unfortunately the movie doesn't get released. Lets hope the music will atleast get released.

Wow Wow Wow , Thanks App
Just love Oru Devathai , it was a recent find for me and i just absolutely love this song.
Enna oru mayakkara feel , AB and SPB do a great job

Btw did Vazhibam Vaazhga from Devi Sridevi feature in your list ?
That was another stunner i discovered recently , might have missed it here.

Three songs are due today (2 for the weekend & 1 for Monday)...all are light-weights

In any case, the IR-forum had been on great mood during the last few days (IR-team-insider Karl Kalyan posting, Gautam's project, new releases and what not)...so my purANams are definitely not missed

There was a song called "oru nanbanin kathai ithu", I think it is some kamal movie. Do you know the name of the movie?

Thanks

nandhavanam pooththirukkudhu, from illam

A song that instantly reminds me of the tea-shops of the suburbun centers of Cbe on Palakkad road - like Kuniyamuthur / Madhukkarai where those were typically not just tea-shops but also bakeries. With a few chairs and tea-table-tall fixtures to serve out, one can have some cookies or thEngAi bun with tea when meeting a friend, waiting for the bus after visiting some known person in the area etc. With decent music systems, not-so-great cookies but typically good tea, one can easily spend a few minutes of waiting here and often get treated by superb music.

Songs like these were tailor-made for such places and IR's strings & drums combined with sweet singing by SPB kept the people's spirit high Though one does not know anything about this movie (says I V Sasi was the director and Sivakumar the hero, so one can easily conclude it to be some Malayalam remake), the song is paLich-paLich in the mind. That of listening to it in such tea shops many times.

Like I mentioned before, it was "light-weight" in the sense not a mega-hit. However, there was no question of this finding the place in the frequent requests at the recording centers during those days. ippadi eththanai eththanaiyO!
