1/10
Our all time favourite from Amman Kovil Kizhakkale - a true blue gem. Ilayaraja and R Sunddarrajan is one amazing music director - director combo.

Tamil cinema owes a lot to Fazil for these KJY masterpieces. Not many songs maintains the joy from start to finish. Pazhamudhir Cholai from Varusham 16 (2/10)
What's better than SPB and Yesudas singing together? Yesudas singing in a SPB composition. A song that's a tribute to music is fitting that KJY sang it. (3/10)
We are fans of Kanne Kalaimane, no questions about it but Poongatru hits differently because of the mood and that insane guitar bass. Listen to this magnificent song that's all about KJY and Ilayaraja's genius (4/10)
How many of you had this sung by parents or played on the tape to make you fall asleep? This is arguably the harivarasanam of lullaby songs in Tamil cinema. Chinna Chinna Rojapoove from Poovizhi Vaasalaile (5/10)
Who knew KJY can sing kuthu songs as good as anyone? His carnatic style singing to this number makes it more unique. The classic Thanni thotti from Sindhu Bairavi. (6/10)
We kind of feel bad the best song of Aval Appadithan was not picturized on Kamal or Rajini. But the lyrics, the music, Sripriya and the film on the whole made us understand why. The song about the truth of life. Uravugal Thodarkadhai (7/10)
Sri Raghavendra is the trials for Sindhu Bairavi we feel. KJ Yesudas in all his glory. Such a difficult song. Bliss nae, total bliss. (8/10)
Chittukku Chella Chittukku from Nallavanukku Nallavan was the original Oru Penn pura (Annamalai) He makes us cry and feel for Manickam through his voice.
(9/10)

Ending the thread with a ARR one because, we should. There are very few songs more pleasant and soothing than Pachai Kiligal.
Happy birthday, Dasettan!
