Raaja, who was assisting Venkatesh in this period, has himself explained the uniqueness of this song. > Then Sindhudhe Vaanam: Though this song was composed by GK Venkatesh, this has an Ilaiyaraaja connection, with whom SPB would collaborate later to churn out thousands of hits and create history. We have heard of the Tamil phrase paal vadiyum mugam to denote innocence. A very soulful and soothing melody, SPB teases with his soft voice while matching the tempo of MSV’s famous rhythm arrangement. Among the ten odd songs in this film, while the other songs were mostly sung by TMS for MGR, Aval Oru Navarasa Naadagam was sung by SPB. But this song from MGR’s Ulagam Sutrum Valiban - a musical and a blockbuster - remains etched in our hearts. > Aval Oru Navarasa Naadagam: SPB started singing for MGR quite early in his career. The very youthful voice of SPB manages to suit Sivaji in this melodious duet and for listeners, this came as a different experience after being used to the usual steely voice of TMS for Sivaji. Music Director MS Viswanathan (MSV) tosses this song to SPB - his first for Sivaji. SPB was making his baby steps into the Tamil industry.

In fact, it is widely believed that TMS used to modulate his voice to suit Sivaji and MGR respectively, for whom he regularly sang. Till then, we were used to the legendary TM Soundarrajan (TMS) doing playback singing for Sivaji. Pottu Vaitha Mugamo: This was at a time when the MGR-Sivaji duo was dominating the Tamil filmdom.
