I Discovered Henry Daniel

I was listening to a song from a movie I love "Malarendra Mugam Indru" sung by LR Easwari in Kaathalikka Neramillai. It had a male yodeling and I wondered who the male yodeler was. A little bit of googling later I found the name, Henry Daniel.

Now I was surprised. What was a Henry Daniel doing in that song? It's not a run of the mill name in Tamil movies of that era. So a little more googling on the name led me to some more information.

This post seemed to indicate that this man Henry Daniel was a piano player who worked with MS Viswanathan and his piano can be seen (heard) in these songs: "Paartha Gnabagam Illayo", "Enna Enna Varthaigalo", "Manithan enbavan theivamagalam", "Kann Pona Pokkile". 

I am impressed. I love each of these songs.

I found another Christian Sebastian D'Souza who seems to have contributed to the great melody of Shankar Jaikishan.  Look at the list of songs in Sebastian's wiki link.

And a few days later (Oct 6th 2016) one more christian PL Raj who choreographed some really nice dances songs as per the wiki link.

Tu Pyaar Hai Kisi Aur Ka.. Tujhe Chaahta Koi Aur Hai

I was watching the movie Dil Hai Ki Maanta Nahin. I heard the song Tu Pyaar Hai Kisi Aur Ka.. Tujhe Chaahta Koi Aur Hai. I was reminded of another song with a similar theme. 

Raha Gardishon Mein Hurdam from the movie Do Badan. Lyrics here.

Yeh humaari badnaseebi ji aur nahi tho kya hai. Ke usike ho gaye hum jo na ho saka humaara.

As usual I started comparing the two songs. One from 1991 and the older quarter of a century back - from 1966. Nadeem Shravan the MD of the newer one and Ravi, that of the older one.

I hardly even listen to the lyrics. It's the music (tune) that interests me and the voice to some extent.

The older song is one of my favorite songs. The newer one... hmm can't say much about it.

Vaadi Raasaathi

Of late I have been listening to this song apparently from the movie "36 Vayadhinile" - each time I listen to it, I am shell shocked. Since when did this kind of tune become categorized under music? What was the music director thinking when he recorded this song? 

I am still dazed. Here is the review of the movie: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movie-reviews/36-Vayadhinile/movie-review/47287365.cms. But that song!!!!!

Hats off to Composer: Santhosh Narayanan and Singer: Lalitha Vijaykumar.
