I think - this thread is soon gonna become exclusive baroque thread!!!

nice picks...
@RC and others. Would be better if you can put up a brief about the song - the context if you can...
We can form a list and see if it touches 1K and then filter or add songs in or out to solidify and close the thread once we are happy about the qty and quality.

I would like to continue and add the song
Kaayadha kaanagaththe from Sri Valli.

This is a special song as it specifically marks the contribution of stage plays to early thamizh cinema. This song has roots in "Natya sangeeth" tradition of marathi stage which influenced Swami Sankaradas..
A small clue as to "Natya sangeeth" tradition - please get Pandit BhimSen joshi's hindustani albums covering this genre... - simply songs used in stage plays.

The song I have quoted - sung by T.R.Mahalingam is an evergreen song that hints at the root of our TFM's evolution. A classic in every way possible.
