  It's not common for a music director to sing for other music
  directors. (I mean, if you ignore "MD's" like SPB, etc. Also
  not considering singing within the family, e.g gangei amaran,
  ilayaraja, karthik raja, yuvan shankar raja, etc.)
  But there are instances in which this has happened.
  A recent one is,
  
  Oh pyaari paani poori(Athithyan) - Poove unakkaaga(S.A. Rajkumar)
  
  There shd be a lot more..

  MSV has sung a song (I am unable to remember the
  lines) for V.Kumar in Velli Vizhaa. GK Venkatesh
  has sung a version of "Vandha naal mudhal ..."
  in Paava Mannippu for VR. ML Srikanth has hummed in
  U.Ulle Vaa's "kaadhal kaadhal endru pEsa" for
  MSV. ChandraBose has sung for MSV, I am sure.

  velli vizha pattu sung my MSV on VKumar's music is
  "Unakkenna kuraichal nee oru rAja".
  
  ChandraBose's song on MSV's music is:
  from Aru pushpangal "Endi muththamma Ethu punnagai"
  
  MSV sang for IR along with BalaMuralai & Seerkazi
  in "jananai janani jagam ni" movie.
  
  Sankar(Ganesh) sang in "uravinil fifty fifty"
  for MSV from Kalatta KalyAnam (??).
  
  AMRaaja sang many songs for other MDs.
  
  another GKVenki song is "oru sonthamum illaE oru
  bandhamum illaE" in Hallo Mr Jamindar for VR.

  Don't forget SPB singing for everybody !
  Somehow SPB doesn't seem to quality as a MD. SJ also has been a MD but only in Telugu.

  Ganesh (of Shankar-Ganesh) has sung for many other
  MDs. He sang for T Rajendar in "pookalai thaan parikaandenga"
  (Title song). Recently he sang for Gangai Amaran I think.
  
  Gangai Amaran sang for Deva! (I think in Bharathi Kanamma)
  
  MSV sang for Illayaraja recently in the "Yatramozhi" (Malayalam).

  Stop!! Stop!! Ganesh did not sing 'pookkaLaiththaan paRikkaadheenga'!! vaai mattum thaan asaichchaar. It was sung by Malasyia Vasudevan. Incidentally, I remember M.Vasu composing music for a few movies. Cannot recollect them off hand.
  
  MSV sang a song in 'namma ooru nalla ooru' (another among the 'ooru' series for graama rajan) for Raja. I forgot the lyrics of the song.

  Ganesh has sung a song for IR in vanna vanna pookkaL.
  
  
• From: cp (@ 208.206.24.27) on: Wed Jul 30 12:05:12 EDT 1997
  
  To Ravi:
  May I know which song did Ganesh sing? I love to hear more and more IR's songs. In "Vanna Vanna Pookal" I like the song "Kannamma kadhal enum kavidhai solladi" .

  CP
  
  The song was 'pangkunikkappuRam siththiraiyE'. It was sung by Chitra. Ganesh just sang something like 'jaangu chakku' ( raakkammaa - thaLapathi). It went like this
  
  jinju nakkadi jinjaalangadi
  jinju nakkadi jinjaalangadi
  jilimili jilimili jilimili
  
  Makes sense?
  
  
• From: Pagalavan Krishnamoorthy (@ mb.cisco.com) on: Fri Aug 8 14:34:21 EDT 1997
  
  Arvind :
  
  The "jinju*.." lines, I thought were sung by Malaysia.

  One more addition - though not new.
  
  MSV has sung a song in 'karuvElampU' for IR
  
  
• From: Ravi (@ greed.cs.umass.edu) on: Tue Aug 12 00:02:41 EDT 1997
  
  Pags: I checked the credits. They are by Ganesh.
  Another general doubt: Do we count Ganghei Amaren singing for IR?
  He has sung a song for dEva: raasaa iLaya raasaa. I cannot rem. the name of the movie, but it was much before Bharathi kannamma. It also had some famous songs: "koovura kuyilu sEvala paarththu padikkuthu paattu; thaamirabarani aaru/athu tharayil nadakkum thEru". dEva rasigarE (bones) umakku ngyabagam irukkA?
  P.S. If anyone is wondering whether something went wrong with my key board, this is the way GA actually spells his name. :-)
  
  
• From: Aravind (@ 202.42.152.9) on: Tue Aug 12 22:45:11 EDT 1997
  
  Ravi, the movie you are mentioning is 'sOlaiyammaa'. It was released some time in 1994. The songs you mentioned are very melodious. But I did not know that GA has sung a song in that movie.
  
  
• From: Ravy (@ eagle.vapower.com) on: Wed Aug 13 11:12:02 EDT 1997
  
  Thamirabarani aaru - the male singer sounds like unni menon ?
  GA has sung quite a few songs for IR
  1. siru ponmani asayum - kallukul eeram
  2. Macchanai vacchukkadi - movie ? (pandiyan,
  Ilavarasi in this song though they are not the main ones in the movie)
  
  
  
  
  
• From: Pagalavan (@ mb.cisco.com) on: Wed Aug 13 12:20:30 EDT 1997
  
  Ravy : siRu ponmani was sung by IR himself. The lyrics for that song was by GA, though.
  "machaanai vachikkodi.." is from Naan paadum paadal.
  
  
• From: Ravi (@ greed.cs.umass.edu) on: Thu Aug 14 00:58:28 EDT 1997
  
  GA singing for IR: sOlai pushpangaLE - ingEyum oru gangai
  poojaikkEththa poovithu - neethaanA antha kuyil
  kiLiyE kiLiyE - geethanjali. I believe IR also sings in this song. can some one verify.
  aaargh.. vEra onnum ngyabagam vara maattEnguthu... will add later.
  IR singing for KR: the ullaasam song (Has he sung for any otehr MD, including GA?)
  KR singing for IR: engE en kaadhali - dEvadhai

  Did GA sing "Indha Maan" in KaragaAttakkAran"?--beautiful song!
  
  
• From: Aravind (@ 202.42.152.9) on: Thu Aug 14 21:53:40 EDT 1997
  
  No. indha maan was sung by IR himself. Though he thiNarufies a bit in 'annamE..aaa.aa', it is an OK song.
  
  GA has sung bits and pieces in a few songs.
  
  uttaalakkadi - My dear Maarthaandan
  mEgam karukkuthu - aanandha raagam
  pUvaadaik kaatRu - kOpurangal saayvathillai
  
  
• From: Pagalavan (@ mb.cisco.com) on: Fri Aug 15 19:40:25 EDT 1997
  
  Arvind:
  
  In the last two songs, GA has sung only a bit, some prelude sort of thing. The main song is by KJJ and Dr.Kalyaan respectively for these last two songs you mentioned. Am I correct?
  
  
• From: Aravind (@ palo7.pacific.net.sg) on: Fri Aug 15 21:51:52 EDT 1997
  
  Yes. GA sings only the prelude in all these songs. The only correction is: It was not Dr.Kalyan who sang pUvaadaik kaatru. It was Krishnachandar. Dr. Kalyan sang Julie I love you in kiLinjalgaL - vizigaL mEdaiyaam.

  Arvind : thanks for the info and correction.
  
  
• From: Rajaraman (@ 192.122.135.224) on: Thu Aug 21 04:24:48 EDT 1997
  
  The list has been compiled(after filtering out
  songs not passing my original criteria).

  GA has sung one song for manoj-gyan in enaindha kaigal.i don't remember the song.
  IR has sung one song for shankar-ganesh in "auto raja".the song is "sandhathil paadadha kavidai..."
  (it's also said that it was composed by IR for a malayalam movie starring amol palekar)

  hi!;
  does anyone have the mp3 or .ra files for solaiamma songs "koovura kyilu" & "thamara barani aaru" ?
  also does anyone have "adhikaalai subavelai" from naptu and "adhikaalai katrae" from thalaivasal ? an extensive search of almost all sites has resulted only in dead links and not the songs.
  it would be very great if someone can give me the songs..
  someone please help..
  thanks
