Thanks Rajan for the comments. In fact, I have used the word ‘Inglorious’ in the meaning ‘Unknown’.

oru requesttu:, if u r hinting “inglorious” as “unsuccessful”, u r close to one of the various menings of the word.but the same word also means– some wrong words for these wonderful, lesser known, less popular songs.

My pleasure , Venkat.. It was fun to search for those songs in some rare LP record player shops and eagerly glancing the cover for songs and singers. Yes.. it’s the same “Paniyum naane malarum neeye” — it has junk interludes but beautifully sung by SPB.

Thanks for the comment and good to know the coincidence.

Enna oru coincidence — I was singing this Aruvadai Naal song to my daughter one night last week. I wanted to ask and check with you about that song — here you have written it.… Very good one.…

Other songs are also very good ones — as you have said — there are many many songs those days, when you start listening to it — you will feel like it is a good tune…

One should listen to believe the earnestness with which JC would have sung that “poovilae medai” song. Excellent one…

Like ஆனந்த தாகம், உன் கூந்தல் — பிரதாப் போத்தன், உமா…
நீலக்குயிலே உன்னோடு நான் — SPB, Janaki

The one you have mentioned about Paniyum Naane — is it பனியும் நானே, மலரும் நீயே பருவ ராகம் பாடுவோம் தித்திக்கும் முத்தங்கள்…?

Thanks for this wonderful post.…

Thanks
