  Raghu is right about BMK's comment about SPB, i read it about two years back in June edition of "kalk", I can not remember which year, once I find it, I will post!
  
  By the way, did u know that BMK & SPB are both telugu & are very good friends?

  I listened to the song "Oru Naal podhuma" by SPB in dhool.com (the original by BMK -that also I liked)
  
  It is dhool dhool!

  During a televised interview in Singapore (parts of which I saw), SPB said that there are several KJY songs that he (SPB) could not sing however hard he tried. SPB has made similar statements about other artists too.
  
  It is quite common for artists to make such comments about other artists as a courtesy. Those statements should not be taken as a yardstick to judge who is the best of them all!!

  SPB himself told in an interview on TV that he likes KJY. SPB respects KJY a great deal. KJY also respects him. They are great friends. I love both SPB and KJY.

  Yes, you are 100% right, I listen to both SPB & BMK version of that song, about 10 times, could not tell the different, & of course SPB's voice sounds similar to BMK.

  SPB really meant it.Of all the singers why KJY. He clearly told KJY is his favorite and also mentioned about Mohammad Rafi. He didn't pick anybody.

  When SPB sings the song "Oru Naal poduma"..
  
  he has introduced a very subtle "egaththala sirippu" for the lines "enai ariyamal edhirporgal ezhndhoduvar".
  
  A nice addition indeed to the wonderful song

  A couple of songs of "Thyagayya" are available on musicindiaonline.com website. But there are about 25-30 pieces, I think, altogether (incl. slokas, short songs and others) in that movie sung by SPB, SJ, PS and VJ. I used to have the gramophone record of this movie songs in India. I am not sure if an audio casette/CD is available anywhere on the net.

  I believe the director of "Thyagayya" is Bapu, one of the finest directors TeF industry has produced. The music arranger is K.V.Mahadevan. I wouldn't call him a composer since all the songs in that movie used the same original tunes of Thyagayya as known by everyone today.

  "Thyagayya" or "Thyagaraju" is how Telugus call "Thyagarajar", one of the music trinity, the author of the famous pancharatna krithis and thousands of other famous krithis. Some of these krithis appeared in the movie in SPB's voice. This movie was the second one to have been made on Thyagayya's life history.
  
  I guess we are digressing too much, sorry about that.

  Ghantasala is another fine artist, he is one of my favourites.

  Sorry for digreesion
  
  Raghu, Kaumudi
  
  There are two versions of Thyagayya in telugu, One acted,directed by Nagayya and one by JV Somayajulu ( Shankarabharanam fame )directed by Bapu. Though purist didnt like the later version of movie.
  
  http://www.telugucinema.com/movies/retrospect/retro19.html for old tyagayya.
  
  In the later verison SPB sang the songs.

  anyway
  
  SPB is singing a duet in Baba, so baba will be a hit
  
  
• From: Raja Hindustani (@ 195.92.67.65) on: Wed Jul 31 15:45:41 EDT 2002
  
  pls guys listen to SPB's majestic voice @56 + in baba,
  
  Baba Kichchu: http://216.97.21.253/tamil/baba3.rm
  
  SPB's song is the third one on the list!
  
  ARR produced some terrible tunes, but @ least SPB is there 2 lift the spirits!
  
  so again SPB saves the day, just like he did in Padayappa

  Thanks NCR. Also, another link for the same request: http://www.idlebrain.com/nosta/thyagayya.html. As you see, the first one was released in 1946. I am not sure if this has been made in Tamil.
  
  
• From: NCR (@ 206.30.30.2) on: Wed Jul 31 16:25:33 EDT 2002
  
  Kaumudi,
  
  I dont think this was made in Tamil.
  
  Raja Hindustani ,
  
  Somehow I missed listening this song when I first heard all the songs. I couldnt imagine Rajini's movie without SPB. I posted in another thread the same.
  
  I agree with you, the other voices were really not upto the mark. Reena Bhardawaj couldnt match SPB in that song. Her voice didnt impress me at all.

  >>I agree with you, the other voices were really not upto the mark<<
  
  although Karthik voice is good, it is not manly enough for Rajni, SPB was awsome in that song, again like u said Reena(is she Bhardwaj, wife/sister or something?) coud not match SPB's calibre!
  
  Oh atleast the song is bearable because of the voice of SPB!

  Raghu,
  
  Do you know where I can find these songs?
  
  Mazhalai Pattalam:
  
  1) Thallu madal vandi idhu thalli vidungo
  2) Gouri manohariyai kanden
  
  Subha Muhurthan/Douri Kalyanam:
  
  3) Ungaththukku mappailla Naan
