Hi! We've made a major addition to newtfmpage, and that is a big song bank. Dhool features thousands of songs for your listening pleasure. This site is a part of the newtfmpage.com - swara.com group. Together with newtfmpage, we wish to make this the best place to listen to tamil film songs online and know about tamil film music. Our collection includes old, new, famous, rare and unheard of songs. We are still fine tuning and fixing the database errors, so please bear with us. We value your feedback, and this will help us build the site better. Please post your comments below or mail to comments@newtfmpage.com.
This work was done by us (bb and RR) with MS and swara.com ravi.

  MS and others
  In telugu it goes "Haayi haayigaa aamani saage" sung by Ghantasala and Jikki for the movie Suvarna sundari. This beautiful ragamalika was composed by Adinarayana Rao, h/o actress Anjali devi.
  
  Who sang it in tamil?

  thanks for the info MS, Kaumudi & Raj. The hindi version sounds familiar. Lata & Rafi are amazing in it. Sounds like a standard song in programmes like Meri Awaaz Suno.

  Saravanan.Welcome!Like all TFM lovers I too expect your Wednesday specials to be back on track.Beware that your posts are closely watched by
  Connoisseurs who appreciate the nuances of TFM and your posts,
  Common men like me who just love TFM and enjoy your posts for the contents and
  Canines as well.
  
  Even Thunbam soozhum neram has an Hindi original i believe.Something more Sridhar's shift from TC to AMR required.AMR has sung the great numbers like this one and Then unnum from Amara deepam finally arrived as MD for Sridhar's movies like Then Nilavu,Punar jenmam only to make way for VR by 1964.
  
  It seems Lenin and Marx have got some impressive victims in Indian films like Balraj Sahni,MBS,TC.

  Song of the Day: Ezhaiyin kOvilai naadinEn from paNam.

  'Ezhayin kovilai naadinaen' from Panam. Sung by GK Venkatesh & ML Vasanthakumari. Music by MSV-TKR.
  
  Gurjada Krishnadas Venkatesh passed away in November 1993. It is now exactly 10 years since GKV’s mortal remains were consigned to flames. But he lives on in his immortal melodies and they will stand timeless testimony to his unquestioned talent. For the next 5 weeks, every Wednesday, SOTD will feature GKV’s songs—in tribute to that gifted composer, sadly underutilized by tfm.
  
  GKV was born in Hyderabad on 21st September 1927. His musical talents were discovered at a very young age—even as a child it is said he was appreciated by the Raja of Bobbili. His elder brother GKS Pathi taught him the Veenai. GKV entered tfm as a teenager. He played the Veenai for great MDs like SV Venkataraman, SM Subbiah Naidu and CR Subburaman.
  
  GKV became a close friend of MSV when they were both part of Subbiah Naidu’s troupe in the late 40s. Later they stayed in the same room in Jupiter Lodge in Madras. It was then that MSV bagged the chance to compose some songs for Genova. And when NSK offered an opportunity to MSV and TKR to compose music for Panam-1952, GKV naturally became an integral part of their troupe. MSV gave GKV a chance to sing in their very first film.
  
  Singing was nothing new to GKV--after all, he began his career as a singer in Bangalore AIR even before entering films, and is also said to have lent his voice to some chorus songs in Meera when he was in SVV’s troupe. GKV went on to sing a few songs in later years, and always did justice to them. His voice had the flexibility to adapt to the varied moods that the situation demanded—the boisterous revelry in ‘Kannodu vin pesum jaadai’ (Kavalai Illatha Manithan- along with TS Bagavathi, with ALR and Jamunarani adding luster to the chorus), the philosophy tinged with pathos in ‘Nilai maarinaal gunam maaruvaan’ (Paava Manippu), the palpable dejection in ‘Kanavae kaathal vaazhvae’ (Senthamarai), the impish romance of ‘yaen mama kovama’ (Thendral Veesum, with LRE), the irreverent shrug at life in
  ‘Sondhamumillai oru bandhamum illai’ (Hello Mr.Zamindar), the rustic uncouthness in the ‘maanathilae meenirukka’ prelude to SJ’s ‘Udhayam varugindrathae’ (Kavikkuyil)- these are some unforgettable instances where GKV startles you with the breathtaking range of his voice.
  
  * * * * *
  
  Madras Pictures’ Panam is said to be Sivaji Ganesan’s second film to be released. Though it was a commercial disaster, MSV-TKR had acquitted themselves quite well for a debut—‘Theena moona kaana’- NSK (featured in SOTD earlier), Engae Theduvaen- NSK, Manamudayaarae manithargal-CSJ, Kudumbathin vilakku-MLV, Panam irundhaale-TV Rathinam are all memorable songs.
  
  ‘Ezhayin kovilai naadinaen’ is among the earliest songs in tfm in the waltz style—listen on to MLV and GKV having a blast!

  GKV acted as Mohan's Father in Mella thirandhadhu KAdavu
  
  & had given good songs in Kannada FM..
  
  Coming to today's Song It's a rare combination
  GKV & MLV..
  
  GKV shld be very young @ that period compared to MLV(her star value) but both have sung the song very well.
  
  Kudos to Saravanan for the selection..
  
  
  A Good Song
  
  Panam had shivaji & PAdmini I guess

  A nice peppy number.Sure to bring an "Kadayora Ilamuruval" on any 65+ Tamiz Thathas.
  
  GKV s voice sounds a like a combination of TL and Mothi.Too bad that GKV could have made a plain singing career as well in the 50s.Whenever you think of GKV singing you think of only the philosophical "Nilai marinal"..this one is a nice counterpoint.
  
  MLV slighly sounds out of touch with western as it calls for flat note singing.
  
  Is it "among " the earliest waltz or it is THE earliest waltz in TFM?
  
  Good choice to launch a chronology on GKV and his music career.

  was the song "oridam thanile nilladhu ulaginile athu urundodidum panam kaasennum uruvamaana porulle" from the same movie "Panam" or am I barking up a wrong tree?

  vengayam:
  
  Oridam thanilE is from 'vElaikkAri'.

  Thanks sk. The panam in the song led to the confusion. vellaikari was by CNA isn't it? hope i am right this time:-)
  
  
• From: sk (@ 202.156.2.7) on: Wed Nov 5 07:07:59 EST 2003
  
  Yes. It was by CNA.

  OISG,
  Regarding the previous posting about "TheesulAvudhe"...
  You said, "EVEN Thunbam soozhum neram has an Hindi original".
  
  By saying EVEN the above number has a Hindi original, you imply that "Theesulavudhe" was a copy of Kuhu Kuhu...
  In fact, Ahinarayana Rao WAS the composer of the Telugu, Tamil and then Hindi versions.

  Song of the Day: 80s in Chennai from ??

  - newtfmpage has been a hub for several budding composers. People who have the talent and the intention come to this thread ( http://www.newtfmpage.com/forum/6611.16.58.22.html ) to post their works and to review others' creations. Check out this page, for there is a lot of activity going on over there. Udhaya has just posted his song, for composers to tune.
  
  - This SOTD is just an example of the work that goes on here, and for the unaware, should be a good introduction to the talent available. Srikanth is one of the newtfmpage regulars, who has composed this. He has been trying out various things. He has built his own studio, and has released an album of Bharathiyaar songs set to his tunes. Recently, he has released singles, which he sells on the net for a low cost. This song is one of them. It is a throwback into the 80s and will bring back fond memories.
