There are a lot of one/few hit composers and singers in TFM who seemed to be forgotten over the years. Here are a couple of threads on composers (http://tfmpage.com/forum/16174.03:07:37.html) and singers (http://tfmpage.com/forum/6317.10.42.56.html) I picked from TFMpage. I though there are many more composers and singers who were probably missed out from the list. So thought I'd revive the discussion again :).

Few I know little about:

Sunandha - She sung in Mannava(Walter Vetrivel), Edhukku Pondatti(Kizhakku Cheemayile). She featured in Jaya TV's 'Hari Giri Assembly' in 2000/2001. I remember her telling that she and Chitra were classmates/batchmates in the same music college in Trivandrum.

Binny Krishnakumar - Sung the Telugu 'Raa Raa' for Chandramukhi. I read that she is a classical singer/teacher.

Arunmozhi - Heard played the flute in Ilayaraja troupe ??

Sandhya - who sang 'Poo Kodiyin Punnagai','Deepangal Pesum','Kummiyadi Penne'. heard she is P.Susila's niece/daughter-in-law??

Lots I dont know and would love to know about:

Agosh: The trio who disappeared after 'Kodeeswaran'
Shoba Shankar: one hit wonder 'Margazhi Poove'
Radhika: another one hit wonder 'Ilampani Thuli Vizhum'
Murari: one who composed for 'Solaikuyil'
Manoj-Gyan: who composed for many Film Institute Student movies. I guess last was Inaindha Kaigal?
Soorya: who did 'Neelakuyil', is he Ramesh Vinayagam?
Vijayanand: who did 'Naan Adimai Alla'
Iniyavan/Ilayavan(forgot the name): who composed for Gowri-Manohari. Had one of the rare SPB-Yesudas duo songs.
Devendran: 'Vedham Pudhidhu','Mannukkul Vairam','Ganam Kortar Avargale'(Did this movie have any song at all?)

Dinesh,
Forgot about 'Harichandra', even 'Mundhana Chelai' was pretty nice and beatish.

Are you talking about Shuba? who did 'Yenna Paaru', there was a song called 'Vaalpaarai Vattaparai' in that too.

Some more has been talked about this topic a while back. Check this thread (http://forumhub.mayyam.com/hub/viewtopic.php?t=4453&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=15).

Philip-Jerry actually did a remix album called Dance-Natyam, sometime around Thottachinungi came (in around 1995/96).

You forgot this new phenomenon.. it's called "REhitting".

Formula 4 REhittin (quite easy):

1) Get an old hit song - which is forgotten..
2) Give the old song an new dress:

a: Add new beat
b: Change the songs chords from minor to major or vice versa!
c: Add an new bassline
d: Change the pitch one note scale higher..
e: Select new singers

3) Release it!

Mr. Harris Jayaraj use this formula very often.. :lol:

I guess Ranjit Barot did'nt compose in Tamil after that, he has done a few in Bollywood and for advertisements.

Ranjit Barot has a website (http://www.ranjitbarot.com/), here is a filmography (http://www.ranjitbarot.com/filmo.htm).

He (Siva) also composed songs for Kathal Sughamaanathu and Poomaghal Oorvalam. Despite giving hits in each movies, the man has dissapeared from kollywood music industry. HOpe to hear songs from this talented MD again.

I remember Rahman's assistant Anand, who scored the music for Vinith movie "Sakthi". Some catchy numbers such as "Achu Vellame" and "Maana Madhurayile Manja Kizhangu Enna Vila"...

Never heard of him after that... Kinda expected to, though!
