I am not sure how many people here are aware of the fact that MLV had a song in Raj Kapoor's film Chori Chori (1956). The film starred Raj Kapoor and Nargis. And guess what - MLV sang a Carnatic...
I browsed tfmpage after a long gap, and just saw the shocking news. Indeed, the three goddesses Carnatic music are now no more with us.
What saddens me even further is the insufficient coverage...
Neel,
I had never known that Shanta Apte had sung Tamil songs. Thanks a lot for sharing this information and her two songs!
Okay, if I may ask, here's one more question:
Many many days (months?) ago, I'd browsed the following website:

and saw the following name in the...
Thanks for this link. And here's one more:

On a trip to Chennai, I recently chanced upon an audio tape which has S Janaki rendering about twelve Thyagaraja krithis. Needless to say, I pounced upon it and purchased it the very next moment, and...

VJ singing two of her most famous Malayalam solos live!
And a video-clip of ennullil engo. When I heard this solo for...
Nache re....is a lovely Yaman (for the most part, though the interludes move into another raga). The duet "kuhu kuhu..." from the same film is also enchanting. Yes, Prafulla Kar it was who had...

Here is a link to a website that contains a lovely archive of Oriya songs by all the great singers from all over the country, and a systematic categorization of the various genres, and listings by...
Naaz,
I look forward to your program. Your previous program on VJ about a year ago (songs + interview) was out of this world. The song selection was terrific as well ("dhoom tana...", "mora...
I heard some of the clips, and VJ's alaap in "bole re papihara" was awesome. It was original (maybe a spontaneous improvisation?) as it's definitely not part of the original composition. Do give it a...

Enjoy two beautiful Malayalam duets by VJ - one with Jolly Abraham and one with KJY.
While these two duets are lovely, some songs have...
It's so exciting to "discover" something that has been under your nose for quite a while. I am referring to the song "ek tatva naam" in the Hindi section, which I stumbled upon just now. It's a...
Its Teri Paayal Mere Geet. It stars Govinda (!!) and Meenakshi Seshadri.
About the lyrics of Taj Mahal - they are good but not great as such. Maybe I have missed something. IMO, its Hariharan who...
Pardon me for an off-topic post in this thread. But do log onto to MIO and listen to the songs of the new Hindi movie Taj Mahal, released last month. The music is by Naushad and the songs have been...
" Good example in hindi - 'aap yun hi agar' (ek musafir ek hasina). "
I think this is Kedar.
"It would be great if you can get your hands on the VJs songs for JA / & Usha Mangeshkar - and share it with us. "
Naaz,
This was news to me too. I did not know that JA had composed for a film!...
Naaz, that was a wonderful conversation. It was very pleasant to listen not only to VJ, but also to you, on radio. I relished VJ's humming of the notes of raaga Dhanyasi. Really a raga of ecstasy!
...
Naaz:
Who is UM? I assume JA is Jitendra Abhisheki.
Naaz, thanks for informing us. I shall surely try to tune in, and listen to you and VJ speaking to each other. And full-length songs, wow! :-)
Deepest condolences. Raveendran's knowledge of music and the depth of his classical songs remain unparalleled. His passing away is a permanent loss to all lovers of good music.
