Jayachandran: Master of Melody"},"content":{"rendered":"

P. Jayachandran is a legendary singer who has always kept a low profile in spite of singing several hit songs in Malayalam and Tamil. He has sung many Tamil songs under Ilaiyaraja and almost all the songs were wonderful melody songs and most of them were duets. He has sung a few songs for other music directors like A.R.Rahman, Vidyasagar, G.V.Prakash etc. Here is a list of some memorable songs rendered by this soft-spoken, very talented singer.<\/p>\n

TAMIL<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Poova Eduthu<\/strong>-Ilaiyaraja-Amman Kovil Kizhakaale-A song with an unconventional tune set in Mayamalagowla raaga, sung with the nightingale S.Janaki.<\/li>\n
  2. Raasathi Unna<\/strong>-Ilaiyaraja-Vaidehi Kaathirundhaal-One of his biggest hits ever, an unforgettable number.<\/li>\n
  3. Vizhiye<\/strong>-Ilaiyaraja-Thazhuvaatha Kaikal-A relatively unknown song but a very good one in Kalyani raaga.<\/li>\n
  4. Poo Mudithu<\/strong>-Ilaiyaraja-En Purushanthaan Ennakumattumthaan-One of the best songs you can hear in Hamsadhwani raaga, sung with Sunandha.<\/li>\n
  5. Kodiyile Malligapoo<\/strong>-Ilaiyaraja-Kadalora Kavithaigal-A song tailor-made for Jayachandran, sung with S.Janaki, very emotional number!<\/li>\n
  6. En Mel Vizhundha<\/strong>-A.R.Rahman-May Maadham-A soft number sung with Chitra, great lyrics by Vairamuthu.<\/li>\n
  7. Oru Deivam Thantha<\/strong>-A.R.Rahman-Kannathil Muthamittal-I like the Jayachandran version more than the Chinmayi one, one of Rahman’s best songs.<\/li>\n
  8. Poovanathil<\/strong>-Vidyasagar-Thambi-A nice number.<\/li>\n
  9. Kanavellam Palikithey<\/strong>-G.V.Prakash-Kireedam-I was so happy that GVP chose Jayachandran to sing this song as we were hearing him in Tamil after a long time. His voice sounded so good! This is an inspirational song sung with the singer-of-the moment, Karthik.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    MALAYALAM<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Ariyathey<\/strong>-Suresh Peters-Raavan Prabhu-A brilliant composition in Darbaari raaga, sung with Chitra.<\/li>\n
    2. Prayam Nammil<\/strong>-Vidyasagar-Niram-One of my favourite songs of Jayachandran, listen to it, its very addictive!<\/li>\n
    3. Therirangum Mugile<\/strong>-Suresh Peters-Mazhathuli Kilukkam-A song with superb piano and guitar interludes.<\/li>\n
    4. Aararum Kaanaathey<\/strong>-Vidyasagar-Chandrolsavam<\/li>\n
    5. Kallayee Kadavathu<\/strong>-M.Jayachandran-Perummazhakaalam<\/li>\n
    6. Chitramani Kaatil<\/strong>-Deepak Dev-Symphony-The ideal song to listen at night, so mellow!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
