P.suseela.....a Living Legend, unforgettable melodies Options

[simplefable]

No introduction is needed for Smt P.Suseela the nightingale of Telugu film songs. Her range and versatility is amazing. She started her playback singing in 1952 with the film Kanna thalli when she was just seventeen. from then on, there was no looking back for her. She was given awards on innumerable occassions. Though she has gracefully stepped down from the career, her songs will be always playing in some corner of South India.

I would be uploading her songs in a batch every day...Hope you all with enjoy this musical journey...

Many thanks indeed, SF. Actually I needed only the audio.

But, what a great song! Can compete with some of the best Lata solos of the olden times. I do recommend it to some of our non-Telugu members!

Normally, female singers cannot carry high pitches. But, P. Suseela, like Lata, can manage to hold her own in some very high pitched notes, as you can see in this song.

One other thing, SF. You described P.Suseela as the Nightingale of Telugu Films, but as you well know, she is the Nightingale of all four languages of South, namely Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada!

Venkat

PS. This P. Suseela song will certainly taste sweeter if you keep watching above the petite (in those days, not later!), calssical beauty, Savitri, who lipped the song in the Film!

[venkat]

SF,

S.Rajeswara Rao(MD)-P.Suseela combination has delivered some excellent songs.

Two such are from Film:Desa Drohulu (NTR, Devika).

Two versions of "Jagame Maarinadi Madhuramu Ga Ee Vela", one a solo by Ghantasala and the other a duet by P.Suseela and Ghantasala!

May I request you for these?

Thanks,

Venkat

PS. In the solo Of P. Suseela, MD:S.Rajeswara Rao makes her climb very high scales at places!

Venkat ..your insight into music is really phenomenal... Not often do i come across someone special like you, who is so well versed with both languages..hindi and telugu. knowing is one thing..KNOWING is something else.
here are the two songs you asked for..indeed it is a pleasure to share them with a connoisseur like you. I have but one small opinion...honestly, i dont think we can compare lata's voice to susheela's voice. it will be injustice to either of them. for example, you might have heard the song...nidurapora thammuda...sung by lata in telugu , i found it totally pale...with out expression...Susheela would have done much better job than it...May be the language and the feel does make a difference...quite interesting to note that...please do offer your valuable suggestions...I am posting the lata number also..from film santanam...i wonder if Ghantasala every sung in...Hindi....can you enlighten me?

SF,

Many thanks again. But, I do not see your actual uploads of these three great songs! What is the matter? Hope it is not some disfunctionality at my PC!

Also, thanks for the complimentary lines above! But, the admiration is mutual!

I shall give my views on the subject(s) later.

Venkat

[venkat]

SF,

I could now sight the three songs (2 from Desadrohulu and 1 from Santanam).

Well, I would like to say that both Lata and Suseela are very great singers and both had excellent voices! If we split more hairs, we will be in a risky terrain!

I am told that Ghantasala did not sing any Hindi film song written in Hindi/Urdu. But, he did sing a Sloka in a Hindi Film:Pandav Vanavaas (must be a remake/dub of Telugu 'Pandava Vanavaasam'). Besides, he was also the MD for this Pandav Vanavaas, in addition to another Hindi film, Paatal Bhairavi!

However, P.Suseela did sing quite a few proper Hindi songs, but mostly for the mythologicals and folklores all of which were based on Southern originals. One of her non-remake Hindi songs is in a Film called Bachpan(1970)-MD:LP. This is in response to PF's query.

Venkat

PS. SF, one last upload request for the time being. "Virise Challani Vennela, Marala Eenadu Maa Kannula" form Lava Kusa-MD:Ghantasala--Singers:P.Suseela, Jamuna Rani & Chorus

[simplefable]

Venkat....here is the song requested by you.
Slokas mostly will be in sanskrit..and Ghantasala's rendition is UNMATCHED in that section as i believe
for example there is Bhagavadgita..the ultimate.
Lets see, if i can get hold of the songs from pathal bhairavi...or pandav vanvaas. In addition to your request this jewel of a song..of Suseela..from the film Sukhaduhkhaalu...Idi mallela vela ani...another high pitch rendition and my altime fav.
Please do keep your requests coming...i enjoy it much more than you do...
పంచుకుంటే పెరిగేది సంతోషం అని నేను చాలా నమ్ముతాను .. మరి మంచి పాటలను వినడం కంటే సంతోషం ఎక్కడుంది చెప్పండి ? కాదంటారా?

Simplefable u hv tamil songs of P.Susheela? Thks.

[venkat]

SF, my sincere thanks for the songs. I now need to correct myself that the singers in the Lava Kusa song are actually S.Janaki and Jamuna Rani and chorus. P.Suseela is just not there.

Thanks again,

Venkat
