This song finds a place in my SPB list. This was tuned by the composer - G. K. Venkatesh. To read about him and his wonderful compositions in detail, click the songs links in this page. Saravanan, the walking encyclopaedia of film music, has written wonderfully about the discography of GKV.
This song is from an obscure movie "malligai mohini". the song went equally obscure I believe. With people like Udhaya and Saravanan around, there is no dearth for "new" old song surprises. It went into my "to sing" list, the moment I heard it (may be a year or two back). I was given this link for the telugu version:
It has been sung by G. Anand - never heard of him - who has done a nice job too. Let me know how my attempt sounds.
Came through Jo's blog. 'Oru padalai pala ragathil ' is sung well. I have never heard this song. You have a good voice. Keep up your good work. Also read the post about the controversial subject. A decent one. But cannot be seen with prejudiced thought. Hope you understand which post I meant. I liked the way you have answered the comments section. You seem to be matured. Keep it up.
ReplyDeleteNice work Murali. I've listened to a lot of GK.V's song when I was in my teens.!
ReplyDeleteThe song 'Raagam Puthu Raagam - ini naalum paadalam' ..God..it brought back a lot of old memories.!! I used to love this song.!!

Venkitu:
Thanks. I think he is. At least it is widely said he is his guru. But how was he his guru - this I have never come to know. 'raagam puthuraagam' ? I have not heard this one.
Lovely :)
ReplyDeleteNeedless to say anything more.. Beautiful song and nicely rendered murali.
Murali,
ReplyDeleteI didn't get time to listen to all ur post(songs). Just listen to this old song. You did a real good job on this.
As I said I want to listen all the oldies of SPB. here are few.
1) padum pothu naan thendral katru
2) Neethane endhan pon vasantham
3) Panivilum malarvanam
4) Ethu oru ponmali poluthu

ReplyDeleteRaagam pudhu raagam is the thamizh equivalent of "raagaa anuraagaa" a Kannada original by PBS (duet I believe).
