Hi,

Talking abt jazz nos, what abt the LRE solo "aadavaralam paadavaralaam paathi udalai thedi varalam". I still remember the prelude of this song being used as signature tune in ceylon radio for one of their weekly programmes along in the 1960s along with the excellent MB Srinivavasan composed no (PBS and S Janaki duet) "Thnnangeethu Unjalile" in "Paathai Theriyuthu paar".

And in Jaya TV's Thenkinnam programme (I don't know how many watch this on weekday nights between 11 and 12 pm or during daytime between 9 30 and 10 30 am) the prelude is the last song in Kaadikka Neramillai (Nenjathai Allikkonjam Tha Tha Tha) which is another mindboggling no in that movie (one of the best ever comedies in Tamil films along with the Kamal starrer Michael Mathana Kaamarajan).

The variety of songs that VR and then MSV gave is simply out of this world. They have not been appreciated as much as the later MDs like Ilayaraja. I wish the current generation listens to their compositions which music talent programmes aired by sun and jaya tvs achieve to some extent when the emphasis is on old songs.
