Another good song from oorkaavalan by VJ is malligai poovukku kalyanam

O_IS_G, the movie name you are looking for is 'pAthai mArinAl'.

It had "Julie" -Vikram -Right?who was the cricketer -Brijesh Patel?

SG's "Jilu Jilu" and "Deviyin Thirumanam" from Vellikizhamai viratham were AIR fav.

Ganesh would have tried to imitate Kishore in " Pallandu Kalam Nee Vazavendum" in the hum part.Incidentally this was even before " Laxmi Vanthal".My guru says he even gave a guest appearance in that song.

Adiyile perukkeduthu aadi varum kauveri -Is it by SG?

I had mentioned "Malligai Mohini" while discussing GKV.This same Vikram Kozhi acted in that movie."Megangale Varungalen" is a top song.

one of my favorite SG song is: Nadiganin Kaadhali (Kamal movie Thai Illaammal Naan Illai)
In malayalam, they gave some extraordinary numbers, always originals. (Sindoora kiranami ninnil; Gaganame, Gaganame etc..) sg really gave the street sounds more than anyone else tried. another one is: Paniyum Naan Malarum Neeya (classic, classic tune!)

Devar vazhangiya Shankar-Ganesh was how their credits appeared.

Can anyone forget Aatukkara Alamelu, Thaimel Aanai, etc.

When Kannil Theriyum Kathaigal was released, competition was strife among the five MDs. S-G came out tops with Naa onne ninaichen.

Yeah.It was a movie produced by AL Ragavan.The real competition was between IR (Nanoru ponnoviyam) and SG. KVM (TMS song),TR Papa (AL Ragavan),GKV songs were not in the race at all.

IR's song was good but SG's song is certainly better.But to IR's credit SG's song was in his style& orchestra.Partiucularly the interlude before Jikki enters the song.

My favourite songs of SG is

1. Pattu Vanna Rosaavaam - SA Rajkannu Movie / Bhagyaraj

2. Unnai Naan parthathau ..vennila madayil - Pattikkattu Raja - Kamal / Sivakumar

3. Oh.. Nenjae ...Neethan paadum geethangal - Bhagyaraj movie.

M Madhanraj;

Unnai Naan parthathau ..vennila madayil - is NOT from pattikaatu raja, it is from "pattana pravesam"

O_IS_G, Shankar and Ganesh made their first guest appearance in 'kAthalikka nEramillai'. They are the composers Nagesh is rehearsing with, when Baliah, Muthuraman and Ravichandran enter the room. They were working as assistants for MSV-TKR then.

Trivia...when MSV started taking Ganesh seriously, he made him play the Dholak in the song 'sonnathu nee thAnA' by PS. He graduated to playing the triple congos/bongos in MSV's troupe and that is stating a lot as percussion is an area where MSV has worked wonders. Ganesh started with 'paruvam enathu pAdal' (Ayiraththil oruvan). According to him, the most difficult assignment that was awarded to him was 'avaLukkenna azhagiya mugam' (Server Sundaram), it seems his hands never crossed each other so often ).

WRONG Raghu!

Unnai naan paarthathu vennila medaiyil un kannanggal nenjoaduthaan IS from Pattikaattu Raaja and sung by Kamal (SP Bala) The hero is Sivakumar.
