gatsby : the picturisation of the "metti oli " song is also very good, with radhika, vadivukkarasi and vijayakumari.

[Peptobismol]

GV - There are two versions of Alai paayuthey Kanna. The short version was in Alaigal Oivathillei.

Ravy - I'm sorry. A thousand apologies. Ennai manniththuvidungal. ))
PS is excellent in that song, isn't she?

Udhaya - Our tastes seem to run parallel. (I hope I'm not insulting you!) Except for the alst one, the rest are very good.

Pirabu - There must be hundreds more!

Correction: "Udhaya is right if not S.Ve.Shekar is wrong" and not what was posted earlier. Sorry guys

I've had this idea to one day, list down all my cassette collection and store it permanently. DF member's passion on Eera Vizhi Kaaviyangal, made me dig into my store and rekindle those memories. Most of my collection are songs dating from the late 70s to the late 80s - period when I was financially independent. Then, I got married....... )))

Let me begin with a superb album bearing the combo Aalulkkoru Aasai and Machchanai Paartheengalaa.

Aalukoru Aasai
The movie stars Muthuraman and Jaychitra and was released in the late 70s. Music is by Ilayaraja.

1. Manjal araikkumpoathu padi eiri paaththa machchaan is by Vani Jeyram and is an excellent folk number.
2. Kanakku parththu kaathal vanthathu is a lyrical experience by TMS.
3. Idhaya Mazhaiyil adds to the number.


Machchaanai Paatheengalaa
This one stars Sivakumar and Srideivi. The MD is not credited, but the music is very IR-ish.

1. Maampoovey, siru mainavey is a duet that MUST be in your collection. KJJ and SJ sing this beautiful song.
2. Maaman Muniyaandi aaththaa is a sexy folk song and is easily one of the every best of SJ. Her humming send shivers down my spine. A definite goodie.
The other songs are TMS' Desingu Rajan, Ada koorukkeitta pasangalaa & Engamma Maharasi


Eera Vizhi Kaaviyangal
This album has been greatly discussed in the Creativity of Ilayaraja thread. It stars Pratap, with music of IR. Unforunately my cassette is very "scratchy".

1. Kaathal panpaadu by KJ Jesudass
2. En gaanam by Ilayaraja & Jency
3. Kanavil mithakkum by KJ Jesudass
4. Pazhaya soagangal by Ilayaraaja
5. Thendralida thoadanangal by Ilaayraaja

This thread is a spin-off from Udhaya's thread to create an index of yearned-for songs.

I have a collection of cassettes running into hundreds, and there must be many of you out there who also have good collections. As new songs are produced, we tend to listen less to the older songs that used to fascinate us at one time. While this thread aims to re-create that feelings of yonder years, in the process we may even help one another to exchange/record some of our favourites.

In summary, if Udhaya's thread is to list the songs that you yearn for, this one is to list the songs that you already have, memories of which will surely bring back the smile to your face. )

[Paul Bunyan]

NOV: machaana paatheengalaa is by Chandrabose

[Ifroham4]

How many of you remember

Archanai Pookal
This was art-movie director, Balu Mahendra's creation.
I believe the stars were Archana and Banuchander.

The first song is an enchanting duet
Kaaveriyey kaaveriyey, while
Naduchaamam poayachu had lots of fans those days. S. Janaki did her wonders again in
Vazhimeil vizhiyaai.
Aavarang kaattukul Thevaramaa is the last song in this album.

[MannoFr]

I faield to mention Archanai Pookal is by IR> The album comes with another combo in

Ethanai Koanam Ethanai Paarvai
Rajaraman told me that the movie was not released.
This movie starred Suresh & Vadivukarasi (that's the cover!) and with great music by IR.

My all-time favourite song is from this movie
Alai paayuthei Kanna by KJJ and SJ. Eppadi vendumaanaalum pugazhalaam!

Enna vithiyaasam is the standard kindal song.

Vithaitha vithai is a marvelous pathos number.

The album also contains several Raagas, including Paahimaam

[softy54534]

"Malai chaaralil ilam poonguyil.
Athan Maarbunil oruaan kuyil."

- Oru Kudumbathin kathai.

Ennoda favorite paatu.

[Lillie_Steins]

I have a few songs that I used to hum when I was a school kid. These songs belong to the mid 70's and were hits for a short span of time just before/after IR burst into TFM. I'm not going to elaborate much on these, but just enough to make one nostalgic.

1. Neram, pournami neram - SPB, VJ - Meenava Nanban - Nice, hummable tune by MSV
2. Thangaththil niram eduththu - KJY,VJ - Meenava NaNban - Another nice song
3. sugam aayiram, en ninaivilae - VJ - MayangugiraL Oru mAdhu - MD- Vijaya Baskar (This is one of VJ's best, the tune is still fresh in my memory)
4. kaNNanin sannidhiyil - two versions, one is a KJY solo and the other is PS & Jayachandran. Both were popular. (Oru kodiyil iru malargaL).

More later

[MannoFr]

Ayayoo... Posting-la irukura oru oru line-a padikumbothu engeyo 70's to 80's-ku poita maathiri irukuthu.

I'd like to add
Metti dir. by Mahendran, *ing Rajesh, Sarath, Radhika...

Metti oli kaatrodu en nenjil thaalata ... - sung by IR I beleive. Composed by one and only IR.

[Peptobismol]

Ramki,
The kunnakkudi's movie is titled "Raaga bandhangal", I believe.

This thread is becoming "Hard to find TFM - Part II", but anyway..

Have you listened to "Anbe Odi vaa" songs?

azhagaana pookkal malarnthaadume - SPB (Ramki: do you recall, this tune was sort of copied in Kampong kiligal
kanvodu aengum siru poonkodi - SJ
jodi nadhigal paadhai vilagi sernthana - SPB

[MannoFr]

kashir kaathali, I think, is by GKV

[Peptobismol]

Ramki and Udhaya: I think I can bolster Udhaya's claim that SP Muthuraman is the director of Kaatrinile varum geedham.
Proof: I was listening to S.Ve.Shekar's "Kaadhula Poo" drama cassette. In one situation Lord Yama is finding a replacement for Shekhar who has been wrongly brought to Naragam. Then Yama says that "Isnt it true that there are 7 looalikes for every body in the human world and didnt somebody make a film about it" for which Chithraguptan answers "Ammaam Prabhu, SP Muthuraman eduthadhu "Kaatrinile Varum Geedham" ". I'avent seen the movie but Iam an ardent fan of S.Ve.Shekhar's dramas and know most of his drama dialogues by heart. So I think Udhaya is right if not then S.Ve.Shekar is.

Enna Ramki "Netrikkan thirapinnum kutram kutrame"nnu munumunukkara maadhiri irrukku. Thappa edhavadhu solli irundha manithuarulavum

[NeroASERCH]

Udhaya,
"another famous actor"....................MNayagam

[softy54534]

Dear NOV,

Thanks a lot for taking back us to those golden days our life. And thanks again for giving the one full line of the song ).

BTW, Re, muLLum malarum,
This movie was Mahendran's effort and brought together Rajani Kanth and Shoba as Mullum Malarum - brother & sister. .

In one of the interviews, director explained that, he actually meant, mottukkaL thaan malarum enbathillai, muLLum kooda malarum

-vElai-vetti illaatha raajaa

[MannoFr]

NOV: I agree with your rating of Chittukuruvi Vs AnnakkiLi. Talking about Giramaththu Adhiyayam reminds of Director Rudraiya's first movie, (GA was his 2nd one)AVAL APPADITHTHAN. I haven't seen the movie but songs (3 of them) are great.

1. UravugaL thodarkadhai - KJY. Excellent piano throughout the song.
2. Panneer pushpangalae - Kamal. Kannadasan's (I suppose) lyrics are out of the world. (panjali vazhndha paridhaba vazhvai paaratta yarumillai...)
3. Vazhkkai odam sella - SJ. Again excellent lyrics such as
Oorengum medai, RajakkaL vesham, uNmayil rajakkaL illai - ulagaththil peNmai uyarvagavillai, udhavadha puzhpangaL peNgaL..

I don't have these songs in my collection but they are etched in my memory.

Ramki: I'm positive about SPM. Those were my time. Don't mess with me (just kidding).

[PhillipHer]

Ramki:

Just went up this thread, your list brought out a few ones long forgotten. As far as I remember, SPM was the Director of KVG.

Ramki:

How do you come up with this amazing list?
I think Uththaman song is Padagu, padagu not pazhagu....
pErum pugazhum has another good song - Avalae en kadhali - SPB & VJ(?).

Here is some more memorable songs from various movies.

1. Paalibeshegam seyyavo, unakku thEnabishegam seyyavo - Muththana Muththallavo - SPB & VJ(?) - MSV *ing Jai Ganesh & Sujatha

2. Enna thavam seidhEn unnai maNam koLLa - TMS, PS Movie ??
3.AvaL oru pachchai kuzhandhai paadum paravai paruvam 16 - Nee oru magarani - SPB & PS - MD Sankar Ganesh
4. Mohana punnagai oorvalamae - Uravu Solla oruvan - KJY - MD VijayaBaskar - *ing Muthuraman, SUjatha - A tearjerker but received good reviews. (this is a good varNanai song - nadaiyinil annal kandEn, idiyinil minnal kandEn, thzhuvadha angam thottu uravada vaa ..)

NOV: All songs of Panner PuzhpangaL are good except Vengaya Sambarum ...

How about Pagalili Ore iravu? I haven't seen this movie but there was no leading magazine in TN that didn't carry Sridevi's falls scene still !!

1. ILamai yenum poongatru - SPB - This one needs no intro. The intro. music just lulls you into another world (heaven?)
2. Kalaiyo illai silayo - JC
3. Ponnaram poovaram - SPB. A good, decent song and the zest in SPB's voice is worth mentioning
4. Tham tha theem - SJ and Chorus

A digressive note:

Vikatan film reviews used to carry marks for individual categories besides overall mark. The highest mark for a movie so far is 62.5 for 16 vayadhinilae - kamal got 90 for his performance.
unforunately I don't remeber how much IR got for this movie.
