AL Ragavan doesnt seem to be a popular singer though many of his songs are worth listening to. He had a voice that was easy on the ears and was quite suitable for light songs.

I hv listed some of my favorites here:
1. Andru Oomaip Pennallo - Paarthaal Pasi Theerum
2. Kadhal Yaathiraikku Brindavanamum - Manidhan Maravillai ??
3. Engirundhalum Vazhga - Nenjil Or Aalayam
4. Oruvar Vaazhum Aalayam - Nenjil Or Aalayam
5. Aaraaro Adi Aaraaro - Iruvar Ullam
6. Once a Papa met a mama - Anbe Vaa
7. Nadodi - Poga Vendum Ododi - Anbe Vaa

RV - ALR was the preferred choice to sing for Nagesh, so many of his songs couldn't be taken seriously (joke-ppa!) He has indeed proven his worth in moving songs such as Yengirunthaalum vaazhga.
Add his last number: Naan paartha rathi devi yengey from Kannil Theiriyum Kathaigal in your list.

Some real oldies by ALR:
inbamaana iravidhuvae and kaadhal yaathiraikku Brindhaavanamum karpagacholaiyum yaenoa with PS in Manidhan Maaravillai

kaadhalendraal kadayil vaangum poruLum illayandroa with PS and singaracholayiae with Jamunarani in Bhagyalakshmi

Some more lighter songs:
jigu jigu jigu jigu naan engine--Motor Sundaram Pillai
chappaathi chappaathidhaan rotti rottidhaan--Nawab Naarkaali
From: Amar (@ worf.qntm.com) on: Thu Dec 4 09:57:13 EST 1997

Couple more lighter songs:

1. With TMS from "Athey Kangal" - MD: Veda

Pombala Oruthi Irunthaalaam, Bhoothathai Paarthu Payanthaalaam;
Aambala Oruthan Irunthaanaam, Avalukku Thunaiyaa Nadanthaanaam;
Hey Sothijja Sothijja Sothijja, Hey Sonnava Sonnava Sonnavaa;
Hey Sothijja Sothijja Sothijja, Hey Sonnava Sonnava Sonnavaa;
Baley Baley Balabala Baley yeah!

I used to wonder where and how did the lyricist came up with such a phrases. But found out later that the seemingly "meaningless" phrases sung in the middle of the song is in actuality from the "Sowraastra" language and coincidently( or not ) the two singers, TMS & ALR are both Sowraastrians.

So, my question is did the lyricist come up with these phrases knowing the singers or the singers suggested these as changes to whatever the lyricist originally came up with for the song or the combination? But, it is interesting!!!

2. with LRE in "Veittaikkaaran" - MD: KVM

Seettukkattu Raasa, Raasa, Ennai Thirumbippaary Lesa, Lelelesaa
Ootymalai Rosa, Rosa, Unnai Paarkkalamaa Lesa, Lelelesa
From: Amar (@ worf.qntm.com) on: Fri Dec 5 10:50:08 EST 1997

In a Jai Shankar movie, "Naan Yaar Theriyuma?"( a James Bond movie ) with music by Veda, there is a song, where the Secret Agent, Jai Shankar goes to a hotel in search of something and finds an "Afro-American" singer( Jai Shankar in dual role ) singing and dancing with the Heroine( L.Vijayalakshmi ) and the Hero joins them.

I used to like this song a lot for its good lyrics, nice music and some great western interludes with ALR singing the portion for the Singer and TMS for the Hero.

The song goes like this:

Chorus: Paarthathum Aasaiyai Tharuvathu Azhagiya Pengaley!
Keiththum Aavalai Thoondidum Innisai Paadaley!

Hero: Azhagai Yaarum Rasithidalaam Pothu Udamai;
Azhagan Intha Azhagikkerum Thani Udamai;
Enmeil Kobama, Thadumaatramaa?
Mayakkam Theliyuma, Manamey Ariyuma, Sonnaal Puriyumaa, Naan Yaar Theriyuma?

Singer: Stop it!
(and then goes on sining in English and Tamil)
Beepaappaloo Bee Baa Boo, Beepaappaloo Bee Baa Boo
(and so on)

There is an old song, possibly from manjaL magimai sung by ALR (?):
maNNa nambi maramirukku..adiyE sanjalaa..
unnai nambi naanirukkEn..shOkkaa konjalaam..
aahh..uhhuhh..aahh..uuhh..
Can some one confirm if this is by ALR?

Amar,

Are you sure about the Vettaikkaran song ? I remember seeing the movie but this song doesnt ring a bell.

Also, could anyone confirm whether this song
"Uravinil Fifty Fifty" was song by ALR and LRE ? I think the movie was Galatta Kalyanam.
