Baroque, Thanks for giving a Kavinger's site. But, most of the songs is not penned by Kannadhasan. I am wondering, how come? they post others song in kavingar's site?while kavinger wrote thousands of songs which available commonly anywhere, why they want to give credit others songs to kavinger? shame. Also, if they give more details such as movie names would be more helpful.

A-1 Song by SPB. Thanks Neel.

Enne oru iLamai thuLLal in this song? Pity that it was used for grim-faced Vijayakumar. As usual story on the same lines of another crab movie "sonnadhu nee thAnA", here too same pair of Vijayakumar and Sumithra. Husband suspecting wife

There is one solo by PS too in this movie. Was it for Y.Vijaya? Not sure.

pallava naattu rajakumarikku is one of my favourite old songs of SPB. does anyone else notice how close SPB charan's voice is to his father.

RC, you are welcome. When you reminisce on old films if you remember any interesting details please share with us.

baroque, you are welcome. It is true. Simplicity, combined with sincerity, always wins. Thanks for the link.

Jack, you are wecome. I really like the way you indulge in the songs. I am glad the song made your day, or at least a part of the day. Please feel free to contribute any rare songs you have.

SN23, you are welcome. Your request is coming soon.

yvsmani, thanks for the wishes.

aruvi, I haven't listened to many songs by Charan. But I wonder if the similarity in the voices helps or hurts one's career. For some reason, all second generation singers have a hard time establishing a playback career.

**SN23** · 12th July 2007, 12:14 PM

Exactly Neel. Similarity in voice realy spoiled many talented singers. Charan, no doubt, a good singer. I have listened to him. Though femalish, his voice is very flexible. Unfortunately, no break-thru for him. Same is with TMS's sons, PS's daughter-in-law Sandhya etc. Even Thiruchy Loganathan's sons and Seerghazhi's Siva chidambaram did not touch heights in their career. Vijay yesudas...? no need to tell. All of these people have talent but acceptance from the MDs and Mass is very low.

SN23, Yugendran too.

Pick #501

Song: mannavan thannaiyE
Film: Deiva Thirumanangal
Music: M.S.Viswanathan
Singer: P.Susheela
Lyrics: Kannadasan
Year: 1981

A short description of the romantic longing of a woman in love, in PS's sweet voice.

Sripriya, who is unabashedly in love with Lord Srinivasa, is lying in bed covered in flowers. The flowers wither from her body heat.

ponnudal kothiththathu
pUvelAm thudiththathu

Fever! Till you sizzle... What a lovely way to burn!

This song is a nEyar(SN23) viruppam.

On the part of SPB Charan, I will agree to an extent. MDs in Telugu though, have used him more extensively than in Tamil. He is as versatile as his father. I am not sure if he has as much baggage to carry as Vijay Yesudas(considering KJY's status in Kerala).
