I found this song a few weeks ago and heard it again for the first time in 30+ years. DA had some lovely tunes by S-G. Ilam Kuyilin Ilaya Raagam, Muthal Murai Thoduvadhu Sugam, and this solo. Another...

Found the link a few minutes ago. I always thought this song featured Roja Ramani! (Have no idea about this movie).

That is a nice duet, typical of that time (Poo Malarndhida...comes to mind right away). Many songs hold traces of other songs in them, and the Menaka song you have in mind (and here I am...

Wow! So good to hear the new solo by VJ in the latest Malayalam blockbuster! A high-pitch lullaby, and VJ does it effortlessly, with clarity and nuance even now! Thank you for this...

AIR and other TN radio music shows always decided which songs were "appropriate" for listeners during those days. Enni Irunthadhu got air-time, but like you say, was not frequent...

That's a fun song in the "MGR Style". I always thought Poi Saatchi was by S-G!

Here's another fun duet for you:

An interesting MSV composition. LRE is featured, too?

Here's another to match your selection!:

That is a nice solo. Reminds me of Naadinaen Nambinaen (Saval) and Neeraada Naeram Nalla Naeram (Vaira Nenjam). MSV truly captured VJ's versatility in so many diverse songs from Ezhu...

True, that was a common confusion, although IRs interludes were something GA could never master.

Here's a beautiful, soft tune by L. Vaithiyanathan from that time.

Yes, it is nice to find video clips of the songs you had only listened to as audio, and mostly on Ilangai Vaanoli. Muthu Rathamo, Madhu Kadalo, Alaiyae Kadal Alaiyae, Naeraagave...

Kanindha Manadhil Indru Ezhundha Ninaivu Ithu... and a beautiful memory it is!

Thanks for the VJ - Jolly Abraham duet. Lovely tune by MSV with shades of OP Nayyar in the interludes. Lavanya and Jai Ganesh!

That's a rare one, I heard it around the time the film came out. MD - A.A. Raj? (part of Oruthalai Raagam duo?) I think SJ's Poovae Nee Yaar Solli...got more airtime. That was a nice...

When I mentioned this song a few years ago in this thread, Priya32 replied this way:

"Naaz,

என் வாழ்வின் சந்தோஷம் கண்ணீர் தூவுது

That is a wonderful interview. Amazing how her pitch, memory and artistry is still intact. A marvel, indeed. Thanks for posting this.
