I am starting solely on suyanalam. I am amazed at the ease with which
GR gives excellent classical songs in TF. Some I remember are

1. kuRangilirunthup piRanthavan manithan (beautiful shanmukapriya)
2. vasanthamullaip pOlE vanthu asainthu Adum peNpuRavE (chArukesi)
3. ninainthu ninainthu nenjam uruguthE (another excellent shanmukapriya)
Can you add to these list. I would like to stick to GR (he sounds a purist).

Is mullaimalar mElE moikkum vaNdu pOlE by GR?

aruLarasan:

Indeed "mullaimalar mElE.." is by GR. (I think its from Uththama puththiran)

There is a good song in "ponmudi" by GR. He himself has sung a song in that film. Any idea about that song?

I think "sindhanai sei manamE..(TMS)" is also by GR. Can someone clarify? Film ???

[Oldposts]

Pags:

"sindhanai sey manamE" is from Ambikaapathy. (I think
it is the first of those 100 songs A'pathy sings
before his death.)

Is "Sundari Soundhari Nirandhariyae" from Thookku Thookki by GR? Who are the singers?

[Oldposts]

Kanchana:

TMS + Leela + one other female singer (?)

AruLarasan:

We put up an article in PPP, taken from a book on K'dhasan
which said that the song, "kanavu kaNdEn naan kanavu kaNdEn"
(music MSV/TKR) was the first duet in "mugaari";
but, Rajaraman says GR was the first to compose
a duet in mugaari: "vaadaamalarE enadhanbE" in
A'pathy. I thought you would be interested in
this info. I don't know anything about raagaas,
but, that article said composing a duet in
mugaari is rare. The article is at:

Uthama puthiran, Ambikapathy, Thooku thooki
are three of his greatest musical hits. Vanangaamudi, kaathavaraayan, manthiri kumaari,
mathurai veeran, veerapaandiya katta
bomman are other notable ones.
