"The Engirundho Azhaikkum song in the 1988 movie En Jeevan Paduthu was also a melody and music was again by Ilayaraja. While Sivaji Ganesan's family was instrumental in making her sing for a Tamil song for the first time, Ilayaraja played a key role in making it happen, he said. "The lyrics was by Gangai Amaran and the Aararo song was such a fantastic melody and it was Lata Mangeshkar's first song in Tamil." "Her first song in a Tamil movie happened in 1987 and it was Sivaji Production's Prabhu starrer film Anand and music was composed by Ilayaraja," Bharat said. Though Lata Mangeshkar had sung Tamil songs right from the 1950s these were for a couple of Tamil remakes of Hindi films and were not much noticed, the film critic said. SPB brilliantly equalled her and the marvelous music composition by Ilayaraja and great choice of smart, rhyming words by ace lyricist Vaali and the energy shown by Kamal Haasan and Amala on screen has all made the 'Valayosai' song an 'everlasting duet,' he said. While her diction was stunning, her sweet voice made that song a quintessential romantic number, excellent in every respect, he said. A duet by SP Balasubrahmanyam (SPB) and Lata Mangeshkar, its popularity has not faded even after decades.Įntertainment industry tracker M Bharat Kumar told PTI, "The pleasant mix of low and medium pitches by Lata ji perfectly suited the romantic theme of Valayosai song and absolutely, it is a mesmerising rendition by her".
