Cole Porter - Isham Jones - Kenny G - Rahman

• Vaali is my favorite lyricist.He is good in acting too(movies like Hey Ram, Paarthale Paravasam and Poikkal Kudhirai).He has a great musical knowledge.

• Last week i happened to hear an english song titled “Let’s do it(Let’s fall in love)” by Cole Porter.A small part of the lyrics from that song is given below.

• “And that’s why birds do it, bees do it
  Even educated fleas do it
  Let’s do it, let’s fall in love“

• The above part reminds me of the starting of the song “Jillendru oru Kaadhal“(music by our master A.R.Rahman) Lyrics by our Vaali sir.A small part of the lyrics from the song “Jillendru Oru Kaadhal” is given below.

• “Paravaigal seiyudhey, pattaampoochchi seiyudhey
  nadhigal seiyudhey , marangal seiyudhey
  yaadhum seiyudhaey, neeyum seiya vaa
  kaadhal“

• Is it a tribute to Cole Porter by Vaali? or A.R.Rahman?..

• There is no similarity in music between those two songs(I think).May be its one of his(A.R.Rahman or Vaali) favorite numbers.

• Listen to the song “Let’s do it(Let’s fall in love)” – Cover version by Alanis Morissette here.

• Here is the song “Jillendru oru Kaadhal” song (music by A.R.Rahman and Lyrics by Vaali)

• Now,I have a doubt that whether there is any connection between “Jillendru Oru Kaadhal” song and “It had to be you“.

• “It had to be you” is a very famous song with music by Isham Jones.I happened to hear the cover version of this song by Kenny G.It reminds me of Jillendru Oru kaadhal song sometimes.May be an Illusion? i think so.Both songs are of Jazz genre.(This may be the reason for the illusion).

• Listen to the song “It had to be you” – a cover version by Kenny G.

• The release dates are given below

“Let’s Do It, Let’s Fall in Love” – 1928 – Cole Porter

Cover version of “Let’s do it” – 2005 – Alanis Morissette

“It had to be you” – 1924 – Isham Jones

Cover version of “It had to be you” – November 14, 2006 – Kenny G

Jillendru Oru Kaadhal song – August 2, 2006 – A.R.Rahman

There are so many cover versions available for both “It had to be you” and “Lets do it” songs.For more information about these songs, see Wikipedia.

Note : Kenny G’s cover version release date is November 14,2006 where as Rahman’s “Jillendru Oru Kadhal” song release date is August 2,2006.This doesn’t mean that Kenny G is inspired by Rahman’s Number.The Original number “Let’s do it” was first published in 1924.

Happy Birthday Mano sir

• Mano is one of my favorite singers in Tamil.

• He entered into Tamil Film Music with a beautiful song “Shenbagamae Shenbagamae” in Enga Ooru Paatukaaran.

• His Original Name is “Nagoor Babu”.He was named “Mano” by our own Maestro Ilaiyaraaja.

• He has sung almost 20000 songs.”Muqqabala Muqqabala” from Kaadhalan – an unforgettable song in his career.Thanks to our Master A R Rahman…

• Mano sir – Wish you a happy birthday.A great thanks for your contribution to Tamil Film Music.All the best for your future projects.

• This small playlist is dedicated to Mano sir and his fans.Only a few of his hit songs are added to the playlist.Sorry.

Dedicated to Mano Sir

Vangelis - Rahman - Erasure

• Vangelis – One of the greatest composers of all time.Our Master A.R.Rahman is a big fan of Vangelis.Me too…

• I have heard all soundtracks from Vangelis’ Missing (released in the year 1982).But “Little Prince Love theme” from the movie “Missing” is simply superb.Its my pick from the movie.I enjoyed a lot hearing this beautiful piece.Thanks to Vangelis.

• I happened to hear the same piece in a Tamil song.It may be an illusion.

• “Kalloori” song from “Ninaithale Inikkum(2009)” sounds somewhat similar to Vangelis’ “Little Prince Love theme”.What do you think guys?

• Listen to the song “Kalloori” from Ninaithale Inikkum here.

• Here is the soundtrack “Little Prince Love theme” from Missing.

• There is one more version for the above soundtrack.I can’t find that in Internet.Its very close to the Kallori song from Ninaithale Inikkum.

• The soundtrack “Little Prince Love theme” from Missing sometimes reminds me of “The Journey Home” from Bombay Dreams composed by our Master A.R.Rahman which in turn reminds me of “Oh L’amour” by Erasure.Musical Illusion?

• Listen to “The Journey Home” from Bombay Dreams here.

• Here is the song “Oh L’amour” by Erasure.

• Here is the soundtrack “Missing” with Nana Mouskour’s voice.

• There is one more version for the above soundtrack.I can’t find that in Internet.Its very close to “The Journey Home” song from Bombay Dreams.

• For your Information the release dates are given below.

Missing – 1982 – Vangelis

Oh L’amour – 1986 – Erasure

The Journey Home – 2002 – A.R.Rahman

Kalloori – 2009 – Vijay Antony

• “Sexy Lady” song from Ninathale Inikkum movie has been telecasted now and then in Sun and Kalaignar TV.

• It reminds me of “Jigiru thaanda” song from “Machakaran” .Music by Yuvan Shankar Raja.
