P.b.srinivas Favorites, Melody king Options

[shriram]

I discovered the magic of old Tamil film music much after I did the music of Hindi films. And over the past 20 years or so when I have been enjoyed it, P.B.Srinivas has stood out as the melody voice of Tamil film music. The Viswanathan Ramamoorthy-Gemini Ganesan-P.B.Srinivas combination has provided one superlative melody after another.

I have had the pleasure of meeting this great man many times in Chennai. Talking music with him is a joy. He has deep knowledge of the nuances of music and shares my love for Talat Mahmood

I am sharing 3 of my very favorite PBS melodies. Hope you enjoy them too !


1. iLLamai koluvirukkum (what a disappointment the picturization of the song was !!)

Bit : 256
Duration : 3:05


2. manidan enbavan (in contrast, a superbly picturized melody)

Duration : 3:26


3. uDalukku uyir kaaval

Hari Ram,

I am a fan of P.B.Srinivas. He has sung many beautiful songs both in Kannada and Tamil movies. All his tamil songs are very mellifluous. I will upload one more song. This is from famous director Sridhar's movie sumaithangi. I don't understand pure tamil though my mother tongue is tamil. I am more fluent in Kannada.
