  kalai:
  
  AththOram maNaleduththu azhagazhagAi veedu katti
  
  is from the movie 'vAzhkkai vAzhvadhaRkE'. The happy version of the song (sung by PS and LRE?) is sung in the movie by child artistes (kutti Padmini and someone) playing the 'childhood' roles of Saroja Devi and Gemini. The sad version of the song comes later in the movie, and is sung by PBS and PS. The movie has two PS solos 'azhagu rasippadhaRkE' and 'Adak kANbadhu kAviri veLLam'. There are two more PBS-PS duets: 'nenjaththil iruppadhu enna enna', and 'avan pOrukkup pOnAn'. The latter song is the one that continues as 'nAn pAdiya pAdal mannavan kEttAn padaiyudane vandhAn'. There is also one LRE solo right at the beginning of the movie, 'azhagAna malayALam'.

  AththOram maNaleduththu (Children version) is by Sarala and LR Anjali (not PS + LRE).
  
  "nan pAdiya pAdal mannavan kEttAn" and 'avan pOrukkup pOnAn' are in the same dance dram sequence.... the "nan paadiya" was a great piece wherein PS sings it effortlessly... a superb melody...

  Why Sri P JAYACHANDRAN and Smt P SUSHEELA are the all time best singers in India?Because..
  *******CHARACTERISTICE OF THE BEST SINGERS IN INDIA*********
  1.MELODY:Jayachandran is melody,i am ashamed of stating about such a great person that "JAYACHANDRAN IS
  HAVING MELODY ALSO".But yesudas now and then had it.
  2.RANGE:Jayachandran's 90% songs had this characteristic.Let me point out some songs which have some less range
  Ninpadangalil
  Nunakkuzhikavilil
  Bhoolokarambhayute
  Yesudas's songs have range but equally there are songs which don't have range.It is like 2 faces of a coin
  3.SPEED:There is no speed in yesudas's songs.Noone can show a speedy song sung by him.He tried to sing sometimes
  like
  pavataprayathil
  which have not succeeded since it resembles a conversation.
  Jayachandran is superb in speed.
  Take for eg the song
  pa pa pa pa pa nisa manohari
  ma ma ma ma ma vikaramanjari devasundari
  To pronounce it properly and sing it speedily yesudas is not at all perfect.Jayachandran was fully perfect.
  4.VIBRATIONS:Vibrations are made by both singers.Both are equally good in it.Jayachandran's
  vibrations in prayam nammil was beautiful.
  5.DEPTH:Jayachandran has much depth than yesudas.In depth yesudas is nil in front of jayachandran.Even in a simple
  padam like karivarivandukal kurunirakal in DEVARAGAM take the part "kaikalo-o-o-
  jalapushpavalayangalo-o-o-o-o"
  He has the depth there.In all songs this is coming into picture.As Ajith show above,yesudas was unable to maintain raaga
  
  
  at high pitches is About this aspect.
  6.SOFTNESS:Even now when he is not getting chances as yesudas he maintains the softness like the song
  Ariyathe ariyathe-e in RAVANAPRABHU.But Jayachandran is not the master of this it is Hariharan.But Yesudas is
  nothing in this,he is always noty soft.But some songs like Kattile pazhmulam thandil ghe approached it.Jayachandran and
  
  
  Hariharan are 2 good in it.
  7.VERSATILITY:Altogether more versatile is Jayachandran but due to luck yesudas was more famous.It does not mean
  that jayachandran is less versatile.He was not recognised as he should be.
  If Jayachandran was given more chances he would have shown up the world.But when politics or other pressure comes
  against a singer what the most versatile singer can do?
  That is why i consider him as most versatile.If he should have remained there in bollywood,he would have been famous
  like his students.
  Jayachandran is the most talented singer ever India had seen.
  
  
  Sri P JAYACHANDRAN is undoubtedly the 'best singer' India has ever produced.
  
  he has proven his potentiality in all the major characteristics needed for a vocal singer.
  
  1. melody
  2. range
  3. speed
  4. vibrations & oscillations
  5. depth
  6. softness
  7 versatality (ability to shine in film music, classical, devotional, semi -classical light music, festive music etc..)
  
  no other singer in India has proven his ability in such diversified kinds of vocal singing!
  
  and nobody can match him in vocal characteristics mentioned above. Other singers may have the first 3 but not the other
  ones. Some other singers may have the last 3 but not the initial ones. There has not been a single singer in INdia that has
  proven in all the above mentioned vocal characteristics !!
  
  Friends,the all above is applicable to SINGING GODESS P SUSHEELA in female section...
  
  She is all time best..even better than Lathaji or Ashaji!!!!!!

  Analyzer
  Pl. avoid comparision of PS with any other singer in this page. It will lead us to unnecessary arguments. If possible Pl. write more duets of PJ+PS in malayalam. we have very less aceess of PS malayalam songs

  This thread is titled as "PSusheela Fans" and to share her songs... whether solo or duets with PJ or KJY or SPB or TMS...
  
  I suggest one more thread can be opened to share the highlights of PJ and not here...
  
  As Kalai said, if any duets of PS with PJ, you may post a lot and share your experience..

  The saying goes..."Its like finishing a fulfilling dinner with "Cognac". Well..... I am referring to a masterpiece of composer G Ramanathan which is faded past into our memories. Its not the compelling music of GR that elevates the song, but, its the always dutiful and mesmerising voice of PS. T M Sounderajan also plays a secondary role in this creative attempt lending a hand to GR thereby creating a tranquil soundscape.
  
  "Mohana Punnagai" from the movie "Vanangamudi", a highly colorful and aromatic piece suited to popular taste of that time. Not a single bar of music is borrowed. Its a priceless heritage of GR and PS. If one is destined to devote most of one's life to playback singing, one can start in no better way than by being born with the beautiful voice of "P Susheela", with her clear connotations of singing.
  
  To me this is a dialogue song of the responsorial type, like "Bailero", a french folk song of Marie-Joseph Canteloube. In the early era of film making, no one has cared so passionately than GR in infusing classical raw material into his orchestral works. That's his genius. His melodies (to name a few...Kanvazhi Pugundhu, Ulavum Thendral Katrinilae, Thensuvai Mevum [a piano interlude in between], Ullam Rendum Ondru, Manamohana) cannot be quantified by complex metrics, but rather they are contemporary fluid pieces with strong regular rhythmic patterns. How did he do that? Enough now of GR's musical achievements.
  
  In this song, GR, PS & TMS establish a great rapport. PS with a natural temperament in her voice takes on the enormous responsibility of carrying this timeless masterpiece on her vocal chords. Did GR envision this act of betrayal? May be he did...and became a silent spectator witnessing an emerging skill of PS's absorption of music like the grandiose great operas and a southern passion for naturalness. It was a strange relationship indeed which lasted over a period of seven years. PS was a valuable help to his music. PS got trained in GR's works as it was as spontaneous and vivacious as any other composition of its period.
  
  Scored with a perfect traditional balance of woodwind and percussion and with slowest tempo, PS in GR's mentioned compostion employs a equal harmonic restraint and conveys a mood of joyful insouciance. However, the middle section of the music is kept quite simple. GR's playful woodwind exoticism also has a conservative touch, not to parallel his earlier masterpieces since 1940's.
  
  PS made conscious efforts and moved away from established patterns, quite significant for that era. If a emerging playback singer like PS receives an offer with all the riches and promises, one does'nt ignore it. Its an opportunity which paid off..for which she will remain thankful.
  
  PS's cooler rusticity only emerges later. With astonishing alacrity, PS created her own opportunity. She did make a favorable impression as a versatile playback singer on GR and which won her a lasting reputation. GR's copious compositions and PS's rendering have survived the test of time.
  
  For a listener, "Mohana Punnagai" implies an ancient song of rustic character and its accompanying dance. But for a devoted pupil, it was a vital art-music based on nationalist sources. PS's voice supplants the percussion with its dynamic range and acquiring overriding importance as the only playback artiste in that masterpiece song. Listen to it.....Once there, we hear no lyrical themes as such, only the brilliant hymn of P Susheela.
  
  To be contd........
