avr,
I have a superb collection of telugu songs by PS on Lord Shiva - these will not make one cry but it will fill your heart with joy. All the songs are set in a very comfortable pitch so that she could render them effortlessly PLUS
some of her more popular songs on Goddess Saraswathi which I recorded from an HMV's special release 'Maanikka Veenai'. These have songs like 'Kaatchi Thandu', 'Kalai Vaani Nin Karunai', 'Kondai Mudi' etc apart from the title song.
Also, I have a tamil album by PS and TMS covering the Sivath ThiruththalangaL - but the recording of this is not so good in the sense, the speed is a little too high and hence irritating to the ears - PLUS
a few other popular songs of PS like 'Thavam Irundhaalum Kidaikkaadhadhu Nimmadhi', 'Vaigaraip Pozhudhil VizhiththEn' and 'Karumaari Un PadamE'. These 3 are among her best.
Do send me your address, so I can send the cassettes.

AVR, please listen to 'cholla cholla inikkuthadA murugA' from 'kanthan karuNai' for a start, superb singing and a great composition by KVM. All songs from that movie are worth posessing. 'pazhamuthirchOlayilE' from 'Motor Sundaram piLLai', 'rAman eththanai rAmanadi' (movie ???), 'azhagan muruganidam Asai vaiththEn' (panchavarNakkiLi) are just some of the immortal numbers with awesome singing. The same singer sang contrasting numbers like 'azhagu oru rAgam' (padagOtti) and 'ponnazhagu peNNmai' (rickshakkaran), a lesson for lesser mortals.

AVR, 'Adi sivan thAzh paNinthu' (with TMS in 'thiruverutchelvar'), 'gOmAthA engaL kulamAthA' (saraswathi sabatham) both by KVM are examples of great singing with well placed, subtle expressions embellishing the tunes further, something that no TFM lady singer (probably barring SJ in some cases) has been able to emulate.

Mr Observer: subtle expressionkku shanmuga pothaathaa (marainthirunthe paarkkum marmam enna)?
PS has sung a number of tamil devotional albums over the years (seems like she started only in late 60s/70s - anyone heard of older albums?). There are albums titled raamanjali and krishna darisanam which are good. There's a real good one from the early 90s for the temple renovation fund (sangeetha released a series of albums in this series during J's first chief ministership) - has bharathiyar songs, ramalinga swamigal verse etc.

But Mr.Observer, do all the songs (barring the last two and Pazhamudhir solai which definitely are not) come under devotional songs category? Not completely so, right, even though they are from films based on devotional themes?

"Jaya Jaya Devi" is an evergreen devotional song by PS. Little girls have been singing that song for ever at Navarathiri kolus.
