Hariharan ji with Susheela ji
This is very old song from the movie Anantha Jothi. M.S.Viswanathan has handled the music and this song is sung by P.susheela Susheela made her entry when so many singers were displaying their talents and were very popular. But her entry in 1952 outshone others and soon pushed all of them to the background. Right from 1955 there was not a single movie - for a very very long time - that did not have a song in her voice. Her career was at its best in the 60s and the early 70s. Whoever be the music director, whoever be the lyricist, whoever be the co-singer, the song became popular with her finesse. Her popularity among the masses was just unprecedented in the annals of Tamil cinema.Susheela's contribution to this trend was considerable. She has given hundreds of golden melodies under the direction of stalwarts Viswanathan - Ramamurthy. That her name is well known and is remembered with feelings of joy for more than 50 years now goes to her credit. She continues to rule supreme in the hearts of her fans through the thousands of numbers she has rendered in a very long and enviable career.

M.G.R @ his young age.
Kumari pennin ullathilae song is yet another hit from MGR - Viswanathan duo from the movie "Engal Veetu Pillai". No one needs an intro about Bharath Ratna M.G.R. He had huge fan following unlike any other actor in this world.A few facts about him - Making his film debut in 1936, in the film Sati Leelavathi, directed by Ellis Dungan, an American born film director, MGR did not attain great popularity until he got his big breakthrough in the 1947 film Rajakumari which was a super hit making him a top hero in Kollywood and one of the most successful in Indian Cinema history, the script for Rajakumari was written by Karunanidhi. He rose to stardom by playing characters that portrayed him as the saviour of the poor. His movies were the medium of communication for the Dravidian movement. For the next twenty-five years he remained the biggest celebrity in Tamil cinema and the most famous and worshiped man in Tamil nadu. Movies like Madurai Veeran, a champion of the Tamil Devars. His star power did not diminish even after he was shot by fellow actor M. R. Radha (Mohan R. Radha), affecting his ability to speak clearly. Even then he undauntedly carried on only to give box-office hit after hits, later paving way for his entry into poiltics. He won the national award in the best actor category for the film Rickshakaran while his filmdom rival Sivaji Ganesan who was considered better actor than him didn’t win it even once as a Hero (Sivaji Ganesan won the national award towards end of his career in Dhevar Magan). His Movie “Nadodi Mannan” (produced & directed by MGR and first released in 1956) released in 2006 ran house full shows in Tamil Nadu for 14 weeks.

Being pissed off after listening to some of the recent releases. Now am presenting you the notes of Kalangalail aval vasantham, a 60's song from the Tamil movie "Pava Mannipu". Chevalier Shivaji Ganesan, M.R.Radha, Savithri, Gemini Ganesan and Devika co-star in this complicated melodrama. The movie is about the actions of one dishonest man and the effect they have on the next generation. P.B.Srinivas has given his voice for Gemini Ganesan in this song. Kalangalail.. is a very pleasant and soothing melody by "Mellisai Mannar" M.S.Visvanathan. Now I realise why do people say "Old is Gold."This song is a real detication for the lover by the hero.
