one of Vani Jeyaram's most immortal songs with IlayaRaja.This song is ghazal/hindustani" influenced composition, and the yearning filled rendition.This kind of cabaret songshad absolutely no scope to become even hummable.Someprofessional touch is essential while singing the humming in between the song.Ilayaraja rightly chosen the singer.

A classic combination of three great legends, HeyRam.
Especially this song had been composed only with one
instrument.Asha bhosle's voice adds the feather in the
cap. Overall, a medicore work by such great team that
fails to meet our expectations.

One of the great composition of Ilayaraja, in the raaga

"pahadi".K.S.Chitra , elegantly sang this song and this

was the turning point in her career.This is the song, which

I heard more than 100 times at a streach, during my

school days, in my new tape recorder.This song motivated

me to sing film music other than classic.

Megame Megame..!!

Movie : Paalaivanasolai
Orignially sung by : Vaani Jayaram
Music : Shankar Ganesh

One of my favourite of Vaani Jayaram’s song. She is well versed in singing ghazals. It was originally a ghazal by Jagjit Singh. Then on following Vani Jayaram's advice, it was played in the movie. In some notes, She has mixed with “niravals” a sublime combinations with the tune.

Kanniley enna undu

Movie : avaL oru thodarkathai
Originally sung by : S Janaki
Music : MSV
lyric : Kannadasan
Director : K Balachander

Wow..! what a combination.. K Balachandar, Kannadasan, MSV and
S Janaki. All four proved their excellence in this song. I think,
Kannadasan awaited for an opportunity to present a philosophical
character of a female. And his lyrics express the depth as well as
the reality of the character in that movie " Aval oru thodarkathai".
KB put up this song in a different situation with an abnormal
reaction against her emotion. Janu..Msv...sollave venam...kalakitanga...
manasa..!

music : Yuvan Shankar Raja
lyrics : Muthukumar (View Lyrics)

An excellent voice discovered from SaReGaMa-Zee tv and got introduced into Hindi cine industry by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Shreya Goshal who sung lot of hindi songs like Dola Re from Devdas, tum ko lehar chali from Jism, also proved her talent in other languages like tamil, kannada. Speciality in her voice is the texture which flows effortlessly to the nook and corner of the tune with ease. She handled the higher notes with tremendous feel in this song.

movie : Mannathi mannan
music : V Ramanathan
lyrics : Kannadasan
originally sung by P Suseela

An excellent song from Kannadasan, in this song, he brings out the whole essence of a girl's feel while she is away from her beloved. Beautifully composed by V Ramanathan, a great legend in music and presented very well by P Suseela with that great feel in her voice.
I just tried my best to sing this song with expression.
