Bhaskar:
Kathal Oviyam from Alaikal OOivathillai is sung by Jency, not chitra.

Chitra's first song is Poojaiketta Poovithu from Nee thaana Antha Kuyil.

Hi,

Guess you missed "Valli Valli Endu Vanthan" from a Karthick starrer. This is with SJ.

Another one is "ThOl Mela ThOl Mela Poomala Poomala" from Poomani. Chitra is the female singer. This is a very melodious song. Listen to the place "Vizhdadhum Nallathe, Dahamai Ullathe". It is just excellent. It is unfortunate that this song didnt become a big hit. When I heard it on TV I was stunned. Such a good beat, such melody yet people havent heard it. ( Aside : One of my friend commented about this song: IR's voice makes this duet a bit sad. It would have been a bigger hit had someone else sung it. I tend to agree)
From: Bhaskar (@ ww-to03.proxy.aol.com) on: Mon May 11 09:46:17 EDT 1998

(Ye)S. Suresh,

I did miss that great duet by IR and SJ.

Valli valli ena vandhaan, vadivaelan dhaan
Pulli vittu puilli pOttaan, pudhu kOlam dhaan
Solli thara solli kaettu,
Dhinamum solli thandha, sindhu paadinaan
Valli inba valli endru
Dhinamum mullai charam kondu soodinaan . . .

Approm, ThOl Maela, thOl maela I have
already mentioned that song, that is a good
one too. I liked that song!

More Later . . .

Folks, you have missed out one of the best and early hit duets of IR:
Movie: Lakshmi( I think with Sridevi )
With P.Susheela

Thennamarathilyey Thenral Adhikkuthu Nandavankkuyiley, Adhiyey Punnavanakkiliyey!
Naan Thenanthoram Thavicheney Thudicheney Siricheney Unnai Nenakkaiyiley....

There is another duet by IR & Sujatha in "Annan"

Vatasuppulley Vayasuppulley Vaadi Kovilukku, Vaadi Kovilukku!
Naathaswaram Munnaalathaan, Naanuum Neeyum Pinnaalathaan,
Onna Seirnthirukka!

Another oldie is from (I think?) "Kadavul Amaitha Medai" with SP.Shailaja

Hey Thanni, Nee Neeraada, Naan Meenaaga!

Guys,
Was "Thottam Konda Rasavai Soodikonda Raasaathi" from Pagalil Or Iravu a duet? I know there's a group chorus but I can't recall a female voice in it.

From: S.Suresh (@ dwarpal.wipsys.soft.net) on: Tue May 12 02:41:39 EDT 1998

Viswa,

I dont know if Oru Sandhana Kattukkulle can be termed a duet. Fist SJ sings and then IR sings. I dont think they sing together.

Another Duet by IR with SJ from "Kazhugu"

Ponnoviyum Kandein
From: mfm (@ 203.120.115.1) on: Thu May 14 03:23:40 EDT 1998

Hi Folks,

How can we forget two scintillating duets of IR with Chitra from Geethanjali?
1. Oru Jeevan Azhaitthathu - It starts with a wonderful guitar followed by mini duet between two violins. Amazing mixing by IR

2. Malare pesu mouna mozhi - evergreen melody with typical tabla of IR. First interlude starts with a majestic guitar strumming that happily marries Veena strings - seamless/smooth mixing style of the great maestro.

Another melody is with SJ - Siruponmani Asaiyum from Kallukkul Eeram.

FYI: There is a Jayachandran version of Valli Valli song from Theiva Vakku *ing Karthik. Anybody heard that before?
From: mfm (@ 203.120.115.1) on: Thu May 14 03:28:52 EDT 1998

Oops! all the above songs were already mentioned right in the first response by NOV. Sorry I failed to browse thru' the old responses.

IR's fans-gala kokka!

Cheers!

mfm - Before I could react to your first posting, you had redeemed yourself in the subsequent one. :-)))

Even Manjula has repeated earlier songs. Wouldn't it be helpful if she could make a compilation and post it? We could then, go on from there....
