Hi All,

Sorry, was/am busy with several things here. To make PoW more regular, I've requested "Neel D" to post songs and he has agreed to do it henceforth. So, he'll be the new PoW DJ...! For those who don't know, Neel has been one of the key song-contributors of this thread with many hard-to-find songs (Ramki often says "I looked for this song everywhere for so long.. and finally Neel gave it to me") , and I'm sure he'll continue to enliven the spirit of this thread and guide us in cherishing the forgotten/unchartered TFM waters. Pls join me in welcoming him and give him your support.. Clap

Pick #484

Song: mALigai AnAlum
Film: Asha
Music: K.V.Mahadevan
Singers: P.Jayachandran, Vani Jairam
Lyrics: ?
Year: 1985

Thank you RR for the opportunity. I hope everybody enjoys my selections. Everyone, please listen and post your opinion. And hopefully I don't repeat any song already posted :-)

I am beginning my assignment with a rare song, and plan to keep it rare most of the time. A lovely melody in the music of K.V.Mahadevan. The song has a strong 70s feel though it is from the mid-80s. One of the greatest singing pairs P.Jayachandran and Vani Jairam lend their sweet voices to this composition. Don't know much about the film. Listeners please fill in.

Pick #485

Song: pOgAthE pOgAthE
Film: Veerapandiya Kattabomman
Music: G.Ramanathan
Singer: Rathnamala
Lyrics: ?
Year: 1959

Today's song is a tribute to the singer and actor Rathnamala who recently passed away. pOgAthE is not a rare song but it is the only solo I have that was sung by Rathnamala. Though she had a unique voice and expressive singing Rathnamala only sang a handful of songs in Tamil films.

Ginger:
Though I do not have the songs that you mentioned, I have some info.

Kanavugal Karpanaigal: Sharath Babu and Late Rani Padmini. Music by Shankar-Ganesh

Veedu Varai Uravu: Gemini Ganesan and Sowcar Janaki. Music by MSV

Kalyaanamam Kalyaanam: Jaishankar and Jayachitra (in dual role). Music by Vijayabaskar

My respects to the departed soul. I heard Rathnamala acted in some movies and stage dramas also. She acted in Parasakthi when it was on stage, it seems.

Pogadhe pogadhe is with too high dose of azhugai. When I watched VKB, somehow I could not appreciate this song. Did not suit Padmini Sad

RR · Admin Hubber Joined: 26 Sep 2004 Posts: 5848

'pogaathe' is a real saddie.. Not surprisingly, it's in Mukhari raagam. I don't know much about Rathnamala, but have requested Manisekaran to post. Hope he will drop by.

Jack: I forgot about it. tfmlover did send the audio too, Ill post it.
