From: pg (@ client-116-26.bellatlantic.net) on: Sat Oct 18 08:20:21 EDT 1997

Deepam was very much released. I have seen the movie. It *s Sivaji & Sujatha. (Two beautiful songs in the movie - Andhapurathil oru maharani, poovizhi vaasalil yaaradi vandhadhu). It is a color film (Annakili is B&W) so Annakili is probably IR's first film.

Hey guys,

What about Vairamuthu's first song? Is it 'ILaya nilaa pozhigiradhu' from 'PayanangaL mudivadhillai'?
From: Peter Pan (@ 57.12.19.241) on: Sun Feb 2 23:44:14 EST 2003

NOV,
You said, "S. Rajeswari - Venaiyadi nee yenakku (Yezhavathu Manithan)".

I recall that it was Neeraja who sang this duet with Yesudas and not Rajeswari.
Rajeswari sang a duet with P. Susheela in 'ThAi MookAmbikai'. The song was 'Isai Arasi'. I don't know if it was her debut though.
