PBS is one of the best singer TFM ever had.
His tamil accent with a light touch of telugu
was a treat to our ears especially when he sings
kaadhal songs like 'oruthi oruvanai ninaithu vittal'('yosikkiren'appidinnu solluvar indha
pattile adhu evvalavu vatti kettalum alukkadhu)
Some of his masterpieces are:
Mayakkama kalakkama(sumaithangi)
manidhan enbavan deivamaagalam(")
thol kandaen thole kandaen(idhaya kamalam)
chinna chinna kannanukku(vazhkkai padagu)
nilavae ennidam nerungadhae(Ramu)
kaalangalil aval vasantham(indha song illamiya?)
udalukku uyir kaaval(manapandhal)
enne koduppan edhai koduppan(his portion in the very popular karnan song)
kangalae kangalae kaadhal seivadhai(vazhkkai padagu)
thulli thirindha penondru thuyil(kathirindha kangal)

Apart from listing, I request all of you
to also write your individual comments on your
best choices. Ennudaya favourite of PBS is
(Kanchana list-il pOtta) "thennankeetru sOlayilE"
from Paadhai Theriyudhu Paar. PBS has given a
very special voice to it. On a nice and clear
powrNami night, you should go to the open terrace
(make sure there are no artificial lights) and listen to
this song in complete silence. You will know
how lovely it is; you will get a melancholic
feeling! Hats off to Srinivasan for composing that
wonderful song and PBS for singing it in the
best way one can imagine. I have always
wondered about the picturization of this song.
Kannaale pesi pesi kollaathe - a.v.penn
pOgap pOgath theriyum..indhap poovin vaasam puriyum.. (sarvar sundaram)
paadadha pattellam pada vandhai from veerath thirumagan.
Roja malarae rajakumari from the same movie.
aaththOram maNal eduththu..(film ???). This is one of my favourites of PBS. indhap paattil oru menmaiyaan sOgam ennai romba baathitha onDRu.
"raaja raaja sri raani vandhaaL.." (OOtti varai uRavu).
aaththOram maNaleduththu
azhagazhagaai veedu katti
thOttamittu sedi vaLarththu
jOraagak kudiyiruppOm
is from Vaazhkkai VaazhvadharkkE (MD: MSV/TKR,
lyrics: K'dhasan). The happy version of the
song is sung by LathamaNi and RamadhEvi (baby
voices) and the pathos version is by PBS-PS
(for Sambaar-S.Devi).
mathura nagaril is from paar magalE paar
one of my favorite songs
kaathal nilavE kanmani raadha
nimmadhiyaaga thoongu
kanavilum naanE maRupadi varuvEn
kavalai illaamal thoongu - hello Mr. Zamindar
more songs:
nilavukku en mEl ennadi gopam - police kaaran magal

kai vaNNam ingu kandEn(vil)
kaal vaNNam angu kandEn (ahalikai)...)
katru veliyidai kannamma - kappalOttia tamizhan
'pUjaikku vantha' is again from Cop's daughter. Not from kaaththiruntha kaNgaL. BTW, there is a CLASSIC from kaa. kaNgaL - vaLarntha kathai maRanthuvittaaL.
thOlvi nilaiyena ninaiththaal - Umai vizigaL
maunamE kaathalaai - kodimalar
paal vaNNam paruvam kaNdu - paasam (only song for MGR)
Somehow I find a lot of similarities between SPB and PBS. Apart from the name, their singing style - smooth, soft and low pitched is very similar. PBS is one of the favourite singers of SPB too. In fact, when SPB was asked to sing some song by MSV during his voice testing, he sang 'nilavE ennidam' - a PBS song.
Thennam keetru soalayilae from Paadhai Theriyudhu Paar by PBS/SJ is my favorite, as I'd mentioned above. Here's why:
PBS/SJ kuralilae ulla alattal illaadha izhaivu, amaithyaana aaru oadura maadhiri oru raagam, iyarkayai varnikkira sol nayam--- ellaam saerndhu manasilae undaakkura oru amaidhi, engae irundhaalum kaanai moodinaal Kutraala thendral vandhu menmayaa manasai thoduvadhu maadhiri oru unarchi (anju vayadhil irundhu inru varai).
in Thirudaadhae...."En arugae nee irundhaal iyarkai ellaam suzhaluvadhaen" with PS.
paal vaNNam paruvam kandu - paasam
naan unnai sErndha selvam
nee ennai aaLum dheivam

nam iLamai vaazha vENdum
from Kalai Koyil is a beuatiful song.
Ponn enbaen
Siru poo enbaen
Kaanum kann enbaen
Vaeru en enbaen
is another soft song from Policekaran Magal

Another song from V.Aadai is: oruvan kaadhalan,
oruththi kaadhali (a good song that did not
become popular for some reason)
Thx for starting this topic. We took the PBS tapes yesterday to the beach with us because of this discussion topic--the dark starry skies, the soft Atlantic waves and semi-warm summery breeze combined with PBS's melodious voice and the unpretentious, simple-but-sweet music of yester-years made it all special (especially after a fully-loaded work week). - Kanchana
