Actor Murali and Raja
Actor Murali passed away today: http://www.nakkheeran.in/users/frmNews.aspx?N=39043
Very unfortunate. He was 46 yrs old.
Murali will forever be associated with two things. Him being a college student in most of his films and the music in his hit films. Most of his hit songs are by Raja. I have read reports wherein Murali has expressed his respect and love for Raja. His combination with Raja is as good as Mike Mohan's combination with Raja. Another fact to be noted is that Raja has lent his voice to Murali in many songs.
As a tribute to Murali, can you post a few of the songs in their combination which has affected you the most?

Two of my favourite songs of Murali-Raja combination are 'poo malaye' and 'thulli ezhundadu paatu'. Both of these are extremely innovative compositions and come from the prime period of Raja in TFM. Love the way Raja sings 'thulli ezhundadu paatu'. Ofcourse, it is very difficult to list the best as this combination has lot of terrific songs. Hoping others will come up with their favourite so that we can build up the complete list of Murali - Raja songs.

I suppose IR's voice suited him too well.

not so spoken "ingeyum oru gangai"
Excellent melody by IR
Lyrics penned by gangai amaran. Simple and soul stirring lyrics.
"therku theru machane pakkam vara vekkam thadukkuthu" from the same movie had a catchy tune.

:( :cry:
Just recently I saw him in COFFEE WITH ANU with his son.
He was very nice.
He gave such a good feeling when I saw the program.
He was admiring இளையராஜா in that program and hopeful about யுவன்'s efforts for his son .
Sorry Atharva .:(
Very sad and shocking.
We always remember you, Murali. :(
My prayers to his family.

"Poomalaiyae.." is the first song i remember when I think of Murali and IR combo

idhayam and porkaalam were Murali's best...incidently, in idhayam, Murali is depicted as a person with problem in his heart...a very talented actor! feel truly sad for his family ...Murali, this music is dedicated for you (how sad it feels, when i listen to this piece knowing Murali is no more, for real - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=se3q5PhIh00)
