We shall commence our journey through the year 1978. However, before we actually begin with a retrospective of the wonderful songs that Vani Jairam sang this year, let me, in this part, ruminate in leisure, (I am in the "Random thoughts" mood!) over the tfm scene in 1978, especially concentrating on the Music Directors who made a mark, and the female singers who got to sing some good songs this year.

We have to surely begin with Ilayaraja, for he had already become the industry's blue-eyed boy. Every film that carried his name as MD had songs which became assured hits as a matter of course. IR was bestowing refreshingly different and enchanting scores on film after film. The sheer numbers of his films speak volumes of his increasing popularity. 4 in 1976, 12 in 1977 and 21 in 1978. In the coming years, these numbers would only increase more and more.

We have already seen that in his very second year, he bagged the prestigious TN State Government Award for his awesome score in "16 Vayathiniley". It was again in 1977, that producer K.Balaji had turned to IR for his lighting his Deepam. While Panju Arunachalam, Devaraj-Mohan and S.P.Muthuraman were already IR regulars, when Bharathiraja, an old friend of IR, got an opportunity to direct, IR was his musical backbone. In 1978, this partnership created magic in 2 completely diverse themes, Kizhakke Pogum Rayil and Sigappu Rojakkal.

Again it was in 1978 that not being content with merely making music, IR brought about a revolution in tamizh film music by introducing stereophonic sound in "Priya". Of course, this became possible only with the help of KJY who had bought the equipment, and willingly allowed IR to experiment and record the songs in 8-track stereo. TFM would never be the same again!

This was a period when Tamizh cinema was itself passing through an invigorating phase of renaissance. Melodramatic themes with ageing actors in studio settings were slowly but surely being shown the door. While Bharathiraja was among the pioneers of this movement, two others who set new standards in filmmaking this year were Rudraiyya (Aval Appadithaan) and Mahendran (Mullum Malarum). And of course, it was IR who added spellbinding sheen to their path-breaking ventures.

It was not the new wave directors alone who were seeking IR's musical support. Veteran Sridhar, who was an ardent admirer of MSV and who never worked with any other MD since "Nenjil Or Aalayam"(1962), crossed over to IR to create the songs for his "Ilamai Oonjalaadukirathu" in 1978. And no less a person than Sivaji Ganesan is said to have remarked at that time, that of all the songs of 1977, "Senthoorappoovey" was the one he liked the most! (Notwithstanding the magical songs created with painstaking care by MSV in 1977 for Sivaji, even in insipid stories like Avan Oru Sarithiram and Annan Oru Koyil).

And how did MSV fare this year? It terms of numbers, he had more films than IR: 28. And in many of them, he crafted wonderful songs. But the fact remains that many of his songs were overshadowed by the contemporary works of IR. He would still be a force to reckon with, but the irreversible descent had begun.

KVM's plebeian score in "Radhaikketra Kannan" was a big let down. V.Kumar, as usual breathed melody into the songs of Kannamoochi, Ival Oru Seethai, Annapoorani and Chathurangam. And Vijayabhaskar got to compose the music for a K.Balachander film, and in spite of its name, VB's songs had thapaadha thaalangal! Another film that came his way was "Per Solla Oru Pillai".

Shankar-Ganesh continued to be a godsend for low-budget producers who weren't too particular. Devar, after the stupendous success of "Aatukkara Alamelu" the previous year, continued with S-G for Thaai Meedhu Sathiyam. S-G also gave a couple of great songs in A Bhimsingh's last film "Kai Pidithaval". Among S-G's other films this year were Unakkum Vaazhvu Varum, Panchamirtham, Meenakshi Kungumam and Ullathil Kuzhandaiyadi.

Chandrabose, who had arrived the previous year with his "Mathura Geetham", shot to fame in 1978 with his enchanting "Maampoove siru mainave" in Machanai Paartheengala. His other film "Mangudi Minor", along with the songs, sank without a trace.

Shyam, who had earlier worked with R.C.Shakthi and Kamal in Unarchigal(1976), came together with the same team in 1978 to create some lovely songs in "Manitharil Iththanai Nirangala". Sathyam and Ramesh Naidu peeped into TFM and gave some good songs in Mudisooda Mannan and Melathalangal respectively. R.Ramanujam gave an excellent account of himself in Ananda Bhairavi. When the super hit Malayalam film Madanotsavam was dubbed into Tamizh as Paruva Mazhai, TFM was honored to welcome to its fold, the genius called Salil Chowdhry. (Salil's first tamizh venture "Karumbu" was never released). M.B.Srinivasan wasn't so lucky. Though he composed two wonderful songs for Jayakanthan's "Pudhu Seruppu Kadikkum" in 1978, the film found no takers and never saw the light of the day. HMV Raghu gave an appealing score to Kanchi Kamakshi.

One singer whom IR brought back into the limelight this year was the great Jikki. Jikki (Pillavaallu Gajapathi Krishnaveni) was the queen among singers in the 50s, and this was no mean achievement, for in the 50s, unlike in the later decades, highly talented and trained singers were many in number. Jikki proved herself as a singer of rare merit in this galaxy of stalwarts like MLV, (Radha)Jayalakshmi, R.Balasaraswathi, T.V.Rathnam, P.A.Periyanayagi, P.Leela, T.S.Bagavathi, A.P.Komala, Soolamangalam Rajalakshmi, K.Jamunarani, and later PS and SJ. She was said to be one of the two favorite singers of G.Ramanathan, (the other one being S.Varalakshmi). However towards the beginning of the 60s, due to personal and other reasons, Jikki lost out and quickly became history. Though she made a comeback of sorts in the early 70s and got to sing a few songs in the following years, it was IR in 1978 who gave her an alluring solo- "Kaadhalennum kaaviyam, kanni nenjin oviyam"(Vattathukkul Sathuram). And oldtimers who were deprived of this voice all these years got to hear vintage Jikki again in all her glory. It remains to this day a song of mesmerizing beauty.

LRE got one of her rare opportunities to sing for IR this year: "Nee Mohiniya"(Thirukkalyanam). Among her songs for MSV were "Oru pakkam neruppu"(Vandikkaran Magan), "Kottu Potta" and "Azhagi Oruthi"(both Pilot Premnath).

It was a memorable year for BSS as well. "Itho itho en nenjile"(Vattathukkul Sathuram with SJ - IR), "Nadigai paarkkum nadagam"(Oru Nadigai Nadagam Paarkkiraal), "Adiyenai paaramm"(Vanakkuthukkuriya Kadhaliye) and "Rathi devi sannidhiyil"(Oru Veedu Oru Ulagam)  all MSV, were her songs this year.

It was in 1978 that Manorama sang her evergreen "Manjakkayiru thaali manjakkakyiru" for S-G in Unakkum Vaazhvu Varum. She also got to sing for IR this year, "Adhu maathiram"(Achchaani) and the famous "Kaanaankuruvikku kalyanamaam"(Vaazha Ninaithaal Vaazhalaam).

Again, it was in 1978 that a new, distinctly enchanting voice suddenly made its song heard. She sang her first tamizh song with SJ for IR. The song "Vaanathu Poonkili" from Thiripurasundari may not have become a big hit, but the new singer Jency Anthony would attain instant stardom, and in the following 4-5 years, go on to sing wonderful songs in blockbuster movies, at the same time maintain an amazingly low profile (I don't recollect ever reading any interview of hers or even seeing her photo in any magazine!) and one fine day, simply diasappear from TFM, never to return. The other songs of Jency in 1978 are "Adi Penney"(Mullum Malarum), "Aada sonnare"(Vattathukkul Sathuram) and "En Uyir nee thaane"(Priya).

The voice of S.P.Shailaja too was first heard in 1978, though she would make a full-fledged debut only in 1979. In 1978, she gave a spellbinding humming for an ever-appealing song of her brother's, "Mazhai tharumo en megam"(Manitharil Iththanai Nirangala MD:Shyam).

Speaking of brothers and sisters reminds me to add that in 1978, Shobha Chandrasekhar sang a dreamy, magical duet with her brother S.N.Surendar, for Ilayaraja. I am sure at least some of you would recollect the class song "Maalai ila manathil" from "Aval Oru Pachchaikkuzhandai".

Anbargaley, let me confess that I was a mere child in 1978, and I have absolutely no business to be dissecting the state of TFM prevailing then, as though I had observed it firsthand!! So, if any of you who were old enough in 1978 recollect any interesting happenings in TFM that year, please help me. Again, if there are any errors in what I have written, Mannitharulga!

A few minutes ago, as I was debating with myself about the choice of the songs with which to begin the 1978 retrospective, a flood of nostalgia overcame me. Most of these songs were an integral part of my childhood. I grew up listening to these songs. The very thought triggered off a kaleidoscope of memories of those enchanted days, innocent, carefree and unfettered. True, all for a long time we didn't have a TV, and I used to barge into my neighbor's house to watch Friday's Oliyum Oliyum and Sunday's movie, and when finally we could afford one, we got an EC B&W TV (on instalment basis), and for music, we had only the faithful radio. Ilangai Oliparappu Kootuthavanam Tamizh Chevai 2 and Vividh Baharathi. And yet we never felt the lack of anything. Today I have all the latest gadgets, but I'd give anything to bring back the happiness of those childhood days!

These songs bring a wistful lump in my throat, a sort of happy-sad feeling, it is like seeing a treasured sight through a window, but knowing you can never actually go out. For a minute, I am back in Madras of the late 70s, (with a stepcut and wearing drawer/bellbottoms), with near and dear ones, friends with whom I have lost contact with long back, and relatives, some of whom have departed forever, these songs belong to that timeframe. Sitting here in office today (with an unsuspecting boss who would surely not be amused to know what his dear junior is furiously typing away), miles and seas away, and decades later, older and not much wiser, these songs seem to be a magical time machine transporting me to that lost world. Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained (at least temporarily!). 152ee80cbc
