Passage of time has ensured that only his rare gems, the classics, have survived in public memory. Ilayaraja today is an icon of collective nostalgia and selective memory. So while enjoying his good work, we must put it in perspective and remember that its but a small fraction of his large body of work, much of it mediocre.

Bosskey is in fact the emcee there too. It was Nothing But Wind btw. Not HTNI ? NBW released 1988, the year Sathya came. HTNI was 1986. Oh and btw, some outstanding banter between Raaja and Uttam Singh too.

From the tons of songs, Metti Oli Kaatrodu En Nenjai is one song that is an absolute favourite of mine. Something about the way the simpleness of the tune, his singing, the picturisation, the acting tugs at the heart ?

There is an oft-repeated belief that we always end up biased towards the music we have listened to growing up. Not sure. There are many music I discovered after I hit 40s and now I like it more than any music I grew up with. For example, I like Jazz and Rock (60s/70s) much more than the 70s/80s Hindi film music or even a good part of 80s tamil music. I also listen and appreciate Hindustani classical music a lot.

I was told by a friend who is into music, that in some of his songs of early 80s, if one listens very carefully, one can even pick traces of the sounds of Metronome ( ). Oops. Blooper.
That is like shadow of the filming crew coming up in the movie.

BR : Many Thanks for this astounding article on my favourite composer. You ve practically summed up the thoughts and sentiments of our generation especially when you talk about the preludes and the interludes takung centerstage. I always felt they were waiting in the wings ready to burst in with the force of a mugger in a dark alley.

And double thanks for mentioning my favourite azhagu aayiram. For my money Janaki s rendition took you on a tres glamorous journey. She practically created the echo of the recording studio with her vocal chords alone.

90s is relatively simple stuff. but enjoyable nevertheless. There is karuthamma, even uzhavan. i also think this is where nostalgia works because I can recall exactly the first time I listened to this song. Again from movies one wouldnt remember if not for songs like Malargale exists in 90s too.

Your hit rate criterion is misleading. IR and Rahman have used different approaches to achieve success. A hyena rarely hunts but when it does, it tastes success by working in a group. A tiger fails in many of it chases but single handedly brings down bigger prey than a hyena. It would be deluded to suggest either IR or Rahman should have worked more like the way the other did. They chose the approach that worked/works best for them. Far be it for armchair critics to tell them to be more or less selective.

There is another point. I grew up listing to 70s and 80s. But I consider HFM of 50s and 60s to be superior to that of 70s. Today I hardly listen to them, but when I do , it gives me the happiness no other film music gives.

It is the nature of film music that current hits always take majority of mind share. That does not mean that those who discover and like music other than the current hits are old-farts or have gone senile prematurely.

That being said, I think he was outstanding in the BGM of Heyram and even the songs of Heyram were good (awesome piano in Nee Partha) and beautiful melody in Isayil THodanguthama. I love Mumbai Express and NEP songs.

Have you considered teaching Critical Thinking and Reasoning in one of these new (and super costly) universities that are cropping up which claim to offer a Liberal arts education within India and at Indian prices ?

all musicians are great creators. some are greater than the others. a thing of beauty is joy forever.real beauty will stand the test for time. we are a bunch of small drops in the ocean of the internet cloud. lets enjoy the music

That sums it up for me perfectly. I adore digging around through his stuff and it is totally worth it when you hit pay dirt. For instance everybody knows the Ninaivo oru Paravai track from Sigappu Rojakal. Imagine my joy on discovering Indha Minminiku kannil oru minnal from the same album! Bliss!! Fantastic article on the great man. And yeah, I am not a fan of 90s Raja either but something like Pithamagan comes along and I tend to forgive him for his sins!

@brangan
blushes Thanks for the compliment. Its big coming from someone who writes so beautifully and evocatively. I read your reviews and articles just for the writing form, more than the content.

Thanks Baddy! It was wonderful writing on Raja music, in fact i heard his music first in Priya or sivapu rojakkal.. Still i could remember the his background score he did for the film sivapu rojakkal that too in stereo which was new then with famous scene where cat screams.

For me a young kid it was very magical which i never heard off, during that period in all over the TN people use to hear hindi songs especially aradhana & others. Raja made tamil people to hear our music. He blended all forms of music be folk, karnatic, western classical jazz which was very perfect.

Songs which are still close to my heart are songs of jhonny & panner pusphangal. His fab combination with directors of his times like Mahendran, Balu Mahendra, Bhagiyaraj Mani ratnam along with valli & variamuthu is stuff of legends. These directors used raja very well that why raja transcends time because almost all his songs written to a situation of the film. It represented all human emotions and his song had divinity and soul.

His singers like SPB, Yesudas Janaki, Jency, Chitra, Uma ramanan, and swarna latha perfectly understood his thoughts and delivered gems which no can deny list includes susheela, vani jayaram jayachandran as well.

There is off repeated criticism is that raja did not introduce new singers, that be the case how much present singers have reached heights of SPB . Now with one song new young singers think they have achieved some thing great. Current crop of singers do not last long fade like a twilight. Except for few like karthick haricharan & Chinamayi there is no new talent on sight in tamil films and forget about having talents like Shreya Ghosal.

Finally i need to say his achievements cant be undermined and one of rare gems to appear in India. I also do not go in to arguments with young Rahman fans in this blog who wants to prove that ARR greater than Raja, which i dont want to entertain because i am hearing this for past 25 years.

In addition to my earlier thoughts i like to add that he made music accessible to every body through out length and breath of TN which was very simple, catchy. To his credit he made every tamil family to buy tape recorder and hear his songs which was very phenomenal achievement for his music.

Sindhu bharavi was his pinnacle in my view for first time he made carnatic music so accessible to common man. Even if the masses do not understand nuances of carnatic music still he made them to appreciate it.

ARR, as many observed builds a song, records variations and picks the right one to enrich his songs. The possibility of it being good at least sound wise is taken care of. Whether it is musically good or adored by the mass is another question. At least it is not jarring.

If IR had only 5% of his songs that were good, how could he have gotten the opportunities to score for 1,000 films. They may have given him the benefit of doubt in 100 films in addition to the hundred that was good but not 1,000 films over 40 years.

In fact, the person who claims that only 5% of his songs was good also claims that he was dominant and sans any competition in the 80s. To me those two things are oxymoronic. You cannot have such meagre quality output and be dominant against the competition. And as the person who claimed the 5% fallacy states that it is not like IR did not have detractors. As history has shown he was surrounded by ungrateful, envious people and a slighted media ready to knock him off his pedestal. So if only 5% of his songs were good, they would happily finished him off much earlier.

I had wanted to make a list of all the songs that were great but there were so many that I dont have the time. But as I was going through this exercise starting from 1976, in just his first 5 years I could count 50+ tamil movies in which all the songs were very good thrashing the 5% yardmark in just the first five years without even counting the rest of his contributions.

In the absence of such data, I am forced to draw conclusions from my own (and anecdotal) listening experience, thus bringing it down to the messy realm of subjective opinion. Just like everybody else on this thread. And I have made that opinion clear enough, so no point in repeating it. And we clearly seem to disagree. Nothing wrong with that. I am sure both are viewpoints have enough backers.

Time is not considerate to anyone. It is the ultimate truth in life. Everything disappears sooner or later and some lucky things stand the test of time and later humans try to make up information based on what they got. It is not comprehensive or an absolute fact but it is the best they got based on the information at hand.

One of the aspects of my job is data analysis. I can tell you how many times people make wrong decisions because the context is missing from the collected data. This is what happens in many discussions.

I love music. I am not current on my music listening because it is hard for me to sit through auto-tuned music but I got to agree that there are gems in those too. I know one lifetime is not enough to listen to all the music that is created. Forget about analyzing them.
