Pick #497

Song: rAjayyA en mElE
Film: Vallavan Varugiraan
Music: Rajesh
Singers: S.P.Balasubramanyam, B.S.Sasirekha
Lyrics: ?
Year: 1979

There may be not very many duets in SPB-BSS combination. One other duet I remember is "solli tharavA" from the film "Uzhavan Magan" which was scored by Manoj-Gyan. Not sure if "rAjayyA" is an original score, considering the name of the film is "Vallavan Varugiraan", which sounds like one of those Idli Western flicks from Modern Theaters. Regardless it is original or not, it is a nice pop song and one has to appreciate the wonderful job by the orchestra and the singers. Not sure who is the music director, got the name from cinesouth's database. Several months ago POW featured another song "Urvasi mEnagai", a solo by BSS, from the same film.

Usha - ithu varaikkum vanthum ungaLaal pattu kEtka mudiavillaiyA? It can be very frustrating. I misunderstood that you couldn't even get this far. The email link still does not solve your problem. Sorry about that.

Thanks for Another unusual song. Rajesh is the one of the favourite MD of Moderen Theatres productions. And all his tunes are lifted fm Hindi songs. Intially Veda was the favourite MD for modern theatres films. After several movieis done by Rajesh to modern theatres, Shankar-Ganesh taken the place for several movies in end of 70's and 80's. After 80's modern theatres stop producing movies.

I am looking for Modern theatre & Rajesh combination "Kaali Kovil Kabaali" songs (all songs) for long times. "Vennila Velli Thattu" is an unforgateble song in KKK, even it is copied. If someone have KKK songs pls make it available.

Jack

HO lot of changes...!! Need is the anchor for PoW :) Great Neel

Many good songs you hosted incl the SPB+Sasireka song. BTW, semmari aade seemari aade is also by SPB+Sasireka alongwith Vidya who sings "diyyala diyyala diyyalo ellam therinja" something like that for aadu maiykkum paiyan

[Neel D]

Usha, that is one way to look at it, and it is true. I am glad your access problem is fixed.

Jack, you are welcome and thanks for the information about Rajesh and Modern Theaters.

yvsmani, you are welcome. I only remember Urvasi mEnagai playing on the radio. Nice to know that this song had some air time too. Every song should get a chance to reach people.

madhu, "semmaRi AdE" does have BSS. But it seems like Vidya sings most of the female part. I think BSS sings only the slightly higher pitch parts. Correct? However, the song is a really beautiful composition.

Thanks vel1970.

Pick #498

Song: kayalvizi kArigaiyE
Film: Then Chittukal
Music: Vijayaramani
Singers: T.M.Sounderarajan, Vani Jairam
Lyrics: ?
Year: 1984

Today's song is one of those fusions that they kept trying out in the 70s and 80s where the score alternates between Carnatic music and Western contemporary music, instead of seamlessly blending the two. Kunnakkudi Vaidyanthan really overdid this alternating style. But today's alternating version is by Vijayaramani. We will cut him some slack and appreciate his effort in trying something different. Also, the song situation seems to have required it. However, the end product is very good and I actually wished that the duration was a little longer, especially the classical part.

The lyrics of the song is the usual kind. TMS is still great nearly 30 years into his playback career. VJ is perfect as always.

Was this film released? Apparently it starred some guy named Prakash opposite Subhashini.
