ellaam inba mayam--with P. Leela, don't know the movie, but a beautiful carnatic ragam-based piece

RV (@ 1cus*) on: Sun Dec 7 12:13:14 EST 1997
Katthiruppan Kamalak Kannan in Utthama Putthiran
Chinnanjiru Kiliye in Manamagal. I think Ellam Inba Mayam is also in Manamagal, but I am not 100 % sure.
Varugiraal Unnaith Thedi in Thangap Padhumai. This is a superb song.

I was surprised to discover MLV has sung so many film songs and popular ones at that not just classical songs. Here is my list (all solos) :
1. Oh ayya sami - Or iravu - This is probably yesteryears equivalent of SriVidya's sandhai bajaaru maama konjam ushaaru. The lyrics go : 'Oh ayya saami aaoji sami; ayya raayya vaayya you come ayya' - use of Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, English !
2. kuyile unakku ananthakodi namaskaaram - manithan
3. konjum puraave - thAi uLLam. Is the tune of this song lifted from a Hindi tune ? Anyway a great song !
4. unnai eNNum - vairamAlai
5. kaNNin maNiye - kaNNin maNigal
6. inba veeNaiyai - vairamAlai
7. ahahaha vAzhvinilE - manthirikumAri
8. kAdhal pali - manthirikumAri
9. kaNNA vA vA - mAmiyAr mechiya marumagal
10. avar indRi nAn illai - malliyam mangaLam
11. sindhanai seyyada - petRa manam (with dialogue by Sivaji Ganesan - MLV as mother and Sivaji as son)
12. yavvaname inba geetham - ezhai padum pAdu
13. kaNNan mana nilaiya - ezhai padum pAdu
14. vaNNa thamizh sornakiLi - pArthiban kanavu
15. kAranaM theriyAmal - puratchi veeran
16. andhi mayangudhadi - pArthiban kanavu
17. Adum arul jothi - meenda sorgam
18. thAye yasodha - kula deivam
19. rAdha samedha krishna - krishna bhakthi
20. Adal kANeerO - madurai veeran

Yes PG. It's surprising to know about such
songs of MLV. BTW, How did you unearth these songs?
"Konjum puraave" is a lift from "Tandi hanvaayen"
of Lata.
Did you know that the traditional Oothukkaadi song
"thaaye yasodha" has been tuned to a ragamalika
(rather than Thodi) in Kula deivam?
One more song from Madhurai veeran:
kalayodu kalanthathu unmai
You r right RV. "ellaam inbamayam" is from
Manamagal. This, IMO, is her best in movies.

i guess
koovamal koovum kokilam -- nalla kudumbam is by MLV and Tiruchi loganathan
-
Kanthi (@ prox*) on: Mon Dec 8 14:53:59 EST 1997
There's another song
'Inge Iruppadaa Ange Varuvada'
M.N.Rajam sings this song in the movie - I dont know the name of the movie. But this is a very good song.What abt
'Aadal Kaaneero' from Madurai Veeran? Isnt that by MLV also?
-
RV (@ nat-*) on: Mon Dec 8 15:50:17 EST 1997
Kaatthiruppan Kamalak Kannan is by Leela and not MLV ? Hmm, I somehow had the mistaken impression.
Ayya Sami is copied from one of my favorite Hindi songs "Gore Gore Oh Banke Chore" Latha and Shamshad Begum, I think. The lyrics are far better in Hindi.
-
Kanthi (@ prox*) on: Tue Dec 9 15:20:57 EST 1997
Sorry abt 'aadal kaaneero' posting. I didnt notice the entry in the list posted earlier. there's another song in IrumbuThirai (I think) - 'Enna Seithaalum Enthan Thunai Neeye'. Is this also by MLV?
-
saketh (@ call*) on: Mon Dec 15 20:21:19 EST 1997
What about the ragas of the famous film songs of MLV? It is worth knowing from the view point that MLV was one of the greatest (carnatic) classical singers.(she is, i hear, in particular,credited for popularizing Purandara Dasa's compositions)
some film songs for which i know the raga (i think i am correct) are:
1. Varugiraal unnai thaedi - Atana (great song)
2. Aadaadha manamum undo - Lathangi
3. Aadum arul jothi - kalyani
4. Ellam inba mayam - Simhendra madyamam?
Also is "konjum puraavae" based on Saranga? I think it must be some janyam of kalyani.

Dear brothers and sisters, I just happened to pass through this page and let me share with you what comes to my mind immediately. Truly I had been inspired by old song which are never lesser than gold.
Other songs of MLV that have been left out are
1.Manipura- Raja Rani
2.Antha Nalum Entha Nalo
3.Nilayana Inbam Manavalan anbe
4.Mayile Malmarugan Unnai
5.Varayo Ennai Paraiyo
6.Kathiruntha Kannukku Olivanthathu-Thilakam
7.Koyil Muzhuthum kanden
8.Thiruvarul Purivai Jeganmatha
9.Parkadal Alaimele- Raja Desing
10.Nandagopalanodu nan aduvene-Vazhkai
11.Arumo Aval Arumuganai Neri kanamal
12.Karka Kasadara Katravai katrapin -rajabakthi
13.Senthamizha ezunthu varaiyo- Madurai Veeran title song
14.Kanni thamizh alaiye
Irunthum Illathavare-Kongu Nattu Thangam
15.Pon Porul Pogamellam Petralum puvimele
16.Nadu sezhithida namum uyarnthida -thaiku pin tharam
17.Va valarmathiye va _Vanangamudi
Dear Kanthi, "Enna Seithalum Enthan Thunai Neeye in irumbu thirai (Music composed by S. V.Vengatraman) is by Soolamangalam Rajaletchumi( or Jayaletchumi)but not by MLV.
Dear RV, Aya samy is from hindi movie called Samadhi featuring Burmese dance scene with Ashok Kumar as hero.
Varugiral Ummai thedi in Thanga pathumai, Vizhi mele vilayadum kalaickelvame in Karpukarasi and Maithunare Inimele in mamiyar mechiya marumagal and Ellam inbamayam in Marumagal have beenjointly
sung by MLV and P.Leela
The only song MLV sang with TMS is Adatha Manamum Undo in Mannathi Mannan. Similarly the only song she sang with P.B. sreenivas is Kaniyo Pago Katkando in Karpukarasi.
By any standard she is a great singer.Its a great loss for the Tamil Music-both carnatic and light.

hey arvind ....koovaamal koovum kokilam is from:-
"vairamaalai"....manohar is the hero & padmini, the heroine. My favourite song...but strangely not a hit!
there are other un-mentioned songs in the lists above:- 1) vaanaveediyile paranthiduvom - naalvar
2) aadavare naattinile - anbu(a.m.r & m.l.v) for shivaji & padmini.

Don't parasakthi/ratha kanneer have MLV songs as well? She sings with P Leela in the first song in Maya Bazaar and again in iru sahotharigaL (thaayE un seyalallavO)
-
RV (@ expo*) on: Wed Mar 29 10:54:23 EST 2000
kk:
The first song in Maya Bazaar is Choopula Kalisina Suba Vela which is a duet between Ghantasala and somebody else, definitely not MLV.
-
RV (@ expo*) on: Wed Mar 29 10:55:05 EST 2000
Oops! The first song is Kannudan Kalandhidum Subha Diname Kanne Unakken Kalavarame.

MLV has one the most smooth-flowing voices I have ever heard.
-
Kutty (@ cf2-*) on: Thu Mar 30 10:57:51 EST 2000
Sudha Raghunathan is a disciple of MLV and she is the one in the present generation who,while singing, reminds us of the great MLV.However, I do not mean that Sudha is immitating the style of MLV. Sudha has her own unique and beautiful style of singing.
Does any body know whether Sreevidya (MLV's daughter) who has a successful acting career has tried her talents in singing at any time ?
-
kk (@ unkn*) on: Fri Mar 31 01:53:27 EST 2000
RV: You may be watching an incomplete version of Maya Bazaar. The version I have begins with a birthday celebration for Baby Sachchu (can you imagine how old the movie must be:-), i.e., Vatsala. There is a song by MLV & P Leela with chorus introducing Revathi, Balaraman, Rukmini, Krishna, Subhadra and the young Abhimanyu as they bless her.
The next song is a P Leela? w/ chorus showing Vatsala growing up (Baby Sachu becomes Savitri). bambaramaai aadalam...aadum azhagiya bambaramE...
The 3rd song is when Vatsala opens the magic box Krishna gives her - nee thaanaa enai azhaithathu.
And the 4th is the one you mention. I've had to watch the darn movie twice in the recent months because my sister wanted me to convert it so she could watch it. It's crystal clear therefore:-)
-
kk (@ unkn*) on: Fri Mar 31 01:55:26 EST 2000
Kutty: Yes Sreevidya did sing in amaran. The song had a decent rhythm (lousy lyrics). She's also sung one of MLV's film songs in a HMV album with computerized orchestration.
-
Kutty (@ cf1-*) on: Fri Mar 31 05:01:05 EST 2000
kk,many thanks for the information.
-
kk (@ unkn*) on: Sat Apr 1 01:38:07 EST 2000
There are more MLV songs in Bhaktha Raavana and Parthiban Kanavu (anthi mayanguthadi, munnam avan irukkum naamam kEttaaL, and another sung when Sivakami dances in the streets of Vathapi). I think kaaNi nilam vEndum was a duet by MLV and CSJ. They also sang a duet in Kaaveri/vadivukku vaLaikaappu which begins manjaL veiyil...
Kutty: You're welcome.

Konjum puraavey nenjodu nenjam, is a nice melody number and my favourite.
Aadum arutjothi, a duet song sung along with Seeyazhi Govindarajan for Padminis dance in Kalaikoil is also a super classical number.
Great stalwarts treated Classical and film music alike those days!

aadum arutjOthi is from meenda sorgam. BTW, HMV has just come out with a 5 cd/tape collection of MLV's songs (film, devotional, carnatic etc). The 1st album has only film songs - several duets with MKT bhagavathar (film - rajamukthi), and others (konju mozhi maindhargaLE...) and of course, solos.

I think these are not by MLV - but R Balasaraswathi, may be? You should check the old songs thread.
The 2nd song you're looking for is
neela vanna kannane, kaarmega vannane
mohana kannaa nee kaiyai thodaathe

Is my most favourite song, "adadha manamum undo" available somewhere in net? The voice is very "Gambeeram" (majestic?)
-
Sreedhar (@ ) on: Sun Jan 12 22:40:24 EST 2003
sivaselvam, you can hear
Mannaathi Mannan(60)-"adadha manamum undo"-TMS,MLV
at Music India Online. If you want it as mp3, email me.
------
kik,g vidya: there are 2 versions of "neela vanna". One is by R Balasaraswathy, as Kik said, from
Mangaiyar Thilagam [55] - Neela vanna Kannaa Vaadaa-R Balasaraswathy-3 13. See
http://www.angelfire.com/art/indianheartbeat/
But the song g vidya wanted is definitely from Malliga and by P Susheela. Even the other line quoted is in this same song. (Its tune is same as some Hindi song, but I cannot identify.)
Malliga (1957)-Neela vanna Kannane unnathu yennam ellaam naan ariven, Kanna en kaiyai thodaathe. Mohana Kanna en kaiyai thodaathe-PSusheela-3 09.
Sorry, I don't know about the actors in Malliga. Its MD: was T.R.Pappa, and there a couple of great songs by AMR,PS. See
http://www.dhool.com/html/movie/malligaa.html

Kik, do you have that MLV CD from HMV? I am interested in MLV's duets with MKT bhagavathar from the film Rajamukthi (48).
