Raj,
Vaali himself has mentioneed the following somewhere:
Vaali wrote a song 'Odhuvaar, un peyar Odhuvaar' in 'Thiruvarutchelvar' (I think!). Kannadasan heard it somewhere and thought it to be a 'DEvaaram' or from 'Periya PuraaNam' or by one of the naayanmaars. When he learnt that it was Vaali's, he rang him up and showered praises on him from the bottom of his heart!

Mumbai Ramki,
You are IN for a big surprise, Vaaleeis one of the Best lyricts TFM has ever produced ... somebody whom KannaDasan considered as a 'real' potti !
My Fav. Vaalee song is, 'Nalamvaazha ennaaLum En vaazhththukkaL' !

NagaS, I don't think KD would've considered anybody to be a 'Potti'..but yeah, Vaalee is without doubt one of TFM's greatest lyricists.A common mistake made is to mistake vaalee's songs as KD's.He was(& still is) that good!!!!

Brat,
In Vaalee's suyasarithai, this is mentioned -
Kannadasan said to MSV, 'intha paya vaalee-kku chance tharaathee'
MSV said, 'een aNNee, Avan ayyar-ngaRathaalayaa ?'
'illaippaa, ippa field-la irukkiRa maththavangaLai nee evLothaan help paNNaalum avanga perisaa varRathu kashtam, Aaanaa intha vaaleekitta thiRamai irukku, chance kidaichchaa enakku pottiyaa vanthuduvaan'
(Intha incident-ai naan Vasanamaagavee padiththaen, but ippo memory-layirunthu ezuthiyirukkaen, words thappaa irukkalaam, but vishayam ithuthaan !)

Nice to see u all making this Thread alive
I've Relished Each & Every song of Vaali
& As Mumbai Ramki menitoned there is no need to be Surprised because vaali had written wonderful Songs with Simple Lyrics..
& Kamal-IR-Vaali comb was great..
Even Maniratnam-IR-Vaali (Agninatchatram,Mowna raagam,Dalapathi,Anjali)etc were Superb
he has such a talent that he plays with words
VM was all in Praise for the song "Punnagai mannan Poo Vizhi Kannan"
& once they met in a studio VM asked Vaali "Anne ippo padathula paatu romba kammiya irukku"
Vaali replied " munnelam ezhu 8 paatu, aprom 4 5 paatu ippadi pona nammala nippatu nu solvanga"
But I always feel Vaali with MSV & VKUMAR gave some excellent songs which are everlasting ..
among them My favs
1. Paatu Varum aha Paatu Varum
2. Tharai Mel Pirakka Veithan
3. Oh ho Ethanai Azhagu
4. Thaamarai Kannangal
5. Madanarochavam Radhiyoduthan
6. Unnidam Mayangugiren
etc.
When IR was booked For AC tirulogachander's Badrakali Vaali was the Lyricist
when he came to Write the songs he asked who's the MD Director replied a new boy..Afte hearing the Music Vaali said intha payyan Peria aala Varuvan
No one can foget the KJY&PS's best song "Kannan Oru Kai kuzhandai" and then on IR-Vaali comb were Great hits
Following are my favs of IR-Vaali
1.Janani Janani- Thaimookambikai
2. Isaiyarasi- Thai mookambikai
3. Azhaikindran MAadhavan- Sri Ragavendra
4. Valai osai Kala- Satya
5. Sundari Kannal oru sethi-Dalapathi
6. Thoongatha vizhigal 2-Agni Nakshatram
7. thendral Vandhu ennai- Thendrale ennai thodu
8. Ninaivo Oru paravai-Sigappu rojakkal
(in this song see his word play
Adhuvallavo paruhatha then adhai innum nee Parugatha aen? wow!!
9. Nalam Vaazha ennalum-marupadiyum
10. Thooliyile aada vantha -Chinna thambi
& many...
Similarly ARR has a great Respect for Vaali
All songs from Kaadal desam,Kadalar Dinam & the recent Kaadhal virus see the works...
Also With Yuvan my fav is Nee illai endral vazhkayil - ultimate song
With Karthik Raja- Kasu mela
& so on
& Kannadasan did consider Vaali as Potti
some Producers Approached KD stating "Madhavi Pon mayilal" Madhiri Paatu venum
he replied adhu naan ezhudala Vaali ezhudunathu endru
Who can foget "AAyirathil Oruvan Songs"
Though "Adho andha " was penned by KD
other songs were Equally competetive.
eg.AAdamal Aadugiren
Unai naan Sandithen
Odum megangale
Naanamo
Paruvam Enathu Paadal
I feel he's a Legend in TFM who also featured in the TOP 50 Personalities which Anandha Vikatan Published for this Century..

Vaali is a Tamil treasure to be cherished as he is one of the very few living legends amongst us. He can touch both the extremes.

on: Thu May 8 16:07:14 EDT 2003
yes Mythila
Can we discuss his songs one by one..
To start with '
'Anbulla Maan vizhiye "
Wow!! This sould be an Evergreen Love duet..
his speciality is "to tell the story " in the song
like "unakoru paaadam solla vanthen enakoru paadam kettu konden"

today let's Discuss abt "thottal poo Malarum"
the film Padagotti Was the Milestone in Vaali's Career..
It had all the song penned by him
Particularly this song claimed applause from all
It was like thirukkural 2 2 lines
"thottal poo malarum thodamal Nan malarndhen"
It goes on where he described
Iruvar ondranal oruvar endranal ilamai mudivathillai
wow ! It's enough to describe love..
Kannadasan After hearing the songs of Padagotti Asked his Car driver to drive to Vaali's House & gave his chain to vaali as a compliment for his work in Padagotti
will come with more songs

Mumbai Ramki
Lyricist vaali is like the legendary vaali. He gets half the strength of the competitor. Earlier he was competing with kannadhaasan and got half of kannadhaasan's strength. If he is not writing great songs now, it may be because of his current competitors.
