Thank you Raghavendra sir. Some excellent gems shared. Never heard most of them. Every song is mesmerising as you described, especially I liked the Roshakkari and Kashmir Kadhali songs.

I know this is not rare, but I love this composition from MSV sir. Senthamizh Paadum from Vaira Nenjam (1975) starring our dearest Nadigar Thilagam and Padmapriya. Pleasantly sung by TMS sir and P Susheela Amma. The humming by PS is truly out of the world. We used to think this film is a B&W film as we saw all these songs on a B&W TV. Even when we realized that this is a color film, our minds hesitate to accept it. Always feel and assume it as a B&W film. Let it be that way, that is beautiful!

Not so popular but typical KVM Sir's melody.. The great voices of T.M.S. and P.Sushila, will make you wonder why this song was not broadcast often in the radio those days.
