RE: [arr] Re: Interesting trivia question
Hi, I assumed most of us here would have already known about this, hence i did not elaborate on the old Kannuku. Sorry. And, ya... I was referring to the song that DD kept telecasting so often in the late 80s. Thanx bergin and sam 4 clearing this :) Bergin Roy wrote: Gopal, Guess you know this already... As far as I know, the lyrics was set to tune by MSV for a Mellisai in Doordarshan in those days. If i'm not wrong Jayachandran and Vani Jeyaram used to sing the song. This would start as Azhagu Azhagu The same lyrics was set to this wonderful tune by ARR for Pudhiya Mugam. Is that you meant Aravind?

You can find some references here in this discussion.. (no audio samples though) http://tfmpage.com/forum/13972.06:23:36.html BTW, do you know whatever happend to the guy Satish Subramaniam..??
