- Prabhu, you asked for it. Here's a great song sung by SPB, for his birthday today. MD is MSV, and MSV has also sung a portion of the song.
- Just listen to the mesmerising voice of SPB that makes this a great song. He does great sangathis, and pulls them off with nonchalant ease. MSV does a great bit at the start to start off the song too.
- Srikanth writes on this song:
guys,
I happened to watch the song being recorded. This was for a R.C.Sakthi film.
SPB learnt the tune in about 30 mins, but both of them was going on and on singing it in differet ways they could... a treat to watch....finally ended up in singing what msv told him to do. SPB did not sing anything more than msv had composed.
Secondly msv's portions were not recorded during that time. When I asked msv about the ragam he commented yemen kalyani based.
Basically the sangathees in the song are very very good, just hear the variations in the song for each line, all of them are different....this is one of the reason I am a big fan of msv, :)surprising complicated tunes. , follow the tabla change overs also...interesting.There are many unheard gems from msv in 80's and 90's, one such song is sonthagalai vazthi sindhu paduven (SPB) for nilave malare, , rajathi (KSC) in rajathi kalyanam ,there is also a good song in thali thanam..by vanij,
i am sure no one would have heart it. :)
