Song: oru marathil kudiyirukkum
Movie: enga pappa
Singers :MSRajeswari, TMSoundararajan
Lyrics: kaNNadasan
MD: MSViswanathan (or TKR?)
Year : 1966

Song requested by SN23. Though i prefer the more popular PS Solo version, the pathos version is the rare one.
The film had Ravichandran and Bharathi. 'Pudhu veedu vandha neram' is a popular duet from EP.

Good Song Ramki!

I am more familiar with this version more than the PS version. (may be Oliyum Oliyum used to play this version)

TKR gave reasonably nice melodies like this one, surprisingly fails miserably in interludes. Though he used to be MSV's main orchestrator (Is that a right word?)

I don't believe I have listened to this song before. Little too sad but still good. No one can beat TMS's sweet voice and clarity. MSR, for a change, sings like an adult which is nice. Thanks Ramki.

[Ramki]

Thanks Bala and NeelD.

Song: dingiri dingale
Movie: anbu enge
Singer : TMSoundararajan
Lyrics: ?
MD: Veda
Year : 1958

50 varudam mun vandhaalum , endha kaalathirkkum aetra pattidhu.
The song comments about horse race, discotheque, war etc.
kalachaaram kettu poikkondirukudhendra bayam ellaaa kaalathileyum irukkira common unarvu pol

Srilankan Baila song paaniyil amaindhirikka paadal. Vedavin innoru suruttalo endru theriyavillai.

Indian cinema database says the film had Sivaji, Pandaribhai and SSR. Yoganand was the director.

'poovil vaNdu bodhai koNdu'(AMR,JR) is my favorite duet from this film.

[SN23]

Ramki: sorry for the delay in my response. Feel bad that I am very irregualr these days. Many thanks for remembering my request. Pul-arichu-pOchu

I nevr knew these kind of details of enga pAppA. I thought heroine is Kalpana. Guess she acted with Ravichandran in one movie, if I remember correct.

Incidently happened to listen to P.Suseela's version of oru marathil, only from nAdhi illai endru unnai oor sollalAmA. Her gamakams are different from TMS, who stretches in a straight line. I heard MS rajeswari's voice after a long time, though she sang in bit matured voice. Very sweet composition by TKR. Great Going.

Diguru dingale, was there a version by Chandrababu? Please check Ramki with your info-bank

The never-ending complaint about the westernization of India. Parts of the lyrics are very funny. For example,

kaNdavangga maNdai ellAm
thALaththOda Aduthu
kAl kai udambai ellAm
thUkki thUkki pOduthu

With his sweet voice and enormous popularity, if it was the west, TMS would have been chased everywhere by screaming teenage girls.
