guys.. any iTunes users out here? go to iTunes radio and go to international genre there. There is a radio station called A9Radio. whenever i click it, it plays Ilaiyaraaja songs. I dont know if it is a coincidence or if it is a Raaja-music radio. But whatever, try and enjoy the potpurrie playlist there. All good songs!
Yesterday night on twitter we played a #SwingingRaja playlist. This was based on suggestion from multiple people. Here is the list for your enjoyment:

இந்த நடிகர் (பெயர் தெரியவில்லை) சில படங்களிலும், சென்னைத் தொலைக்காட்சியில் எண்பதுகளில் இடம்பெற்ற சில நாடகங்களிலும் அற்புதமான நடிப்பை வெளிப்படுத்தியவர். ஒரு படம் (பெயர் தெரியவில்லை) ராஜ்/விஜய் சானலில் பார்த்த ஞாபகம். மனநிலை சரியில்லாதவராக நடித்திருப்பார். அதைப் பார்த்ததிலிருந்து, மனநிலை சரியில்லாத தமிழ்த் திரையுலக பாத்திரங்களில் முதலிடத்தில் இன்னும் இவர்தான் இருந்து வருகிறார்.

These are the songs I grew up listening to. How about Vani Jayaram for a club song this time instead of S Janaki and Gangai Amaran singing for Kamal instead of Malaysia Vasudevan? The movie was a blockbuster and song was very famous that time. There is spooky mood to the song especially in the interludes, as the crime investigation going on during the song.
With all elements; horns, electric guitar, acoustic drums, husky voice and singing, delectable choirs defining this club song, how about a stranger called 'urumi' for this song. Please hear the first interlude end portion and whole of second interlude with urumi coming in as percussion instead of usual drums providing a perfect backdrop for trumpets and electric guitar.
Only Maestro can think of all possible ways from the improbable.
There is video for this song in youtube, but the song is not in full, abrubly cut off during the second interlude which is where the song's real strength is. I uploaded this audio version in youtube.
HQ mp3 version here
This number has been fascinating me for quite a while now.
Everything about this number is just a delight and should be celebrated for eons to come.
1) The tumbling sound of the vessels which is musically ryhthmical.
2) The guitar strumming the notes Ga Ma with the Tu Ru Ru humming in the side by the one and only S Janaki to be joined by the Bass moving Sa Pa Sa downward across octaves.
3) Gangai Amaran opening up and boy has he ever sounded so romantic. (Gangai Illa Mangai chorus adding the perfect harmony)
4) The first interlude with the triple counterpoint between violins , violins (I think) and flute is just more than enough for a lifetime.
5) The Guitar vamping and the Guitar counterpoint with the keys in the 2nd interlude , didn’t I just say the 1st interlude was more than enough - but he doesn’t listen he always gives more than you want.
An additional Indian classical touch for you too in the combination of flute and Mridangam.
6) The mild shift from major scale to chromatic scale when Gangai sings Pudhu Raaga Jaadhikalum.
This man's music gives us so much happiness which can never be expressed in words but can only be experienced.
Ecstacy in Abundance , I bow to you my Lord.
Rajsmed for uploading the full version of this spectacular beauty.
