VANI JAYARAM



Smt.Vani Jayaram made her debut in 1971 in the hindi film "Guddi".  "Bolo re papi hara" was heard in every nook and corner of India and she became a celebrity with her very first film and first song.  She has a very unique and soothing voice.  She has won the National Award for Best Female Playback Singer thrice.  Her songs in the Telugu classical hit "Shankarabaranam" which got her one of the National Awards keep ringing in my ears for more than three decades.

Some of her memorable songs in tamil films are:
  1. Malligai en mannan mayangum ponnaana malarallavo
  2. Ezhu swarangalukkul ethanai paadal
  3. Sorgathin thirappu vizha
  4. Nitham nitham nellu choru
  5. Malligai mullai poo pandhal maragatha manicka pon oonjal
  6. Kanden engum poo maghal naatiyam kaanbathellame athisayam
  7. Indraikku en intha aanandhame inbathil aaduthu en maname
  8. Megame megame paal nila theyude
  9. Naane naana yaro thana
  10. Vasantha kaala nadhigalile
  11. Naadam enum kovilile gnyana vilakketri vaithen
  12. ABC nee vasi ellam en kai raasi so easy
  13. Bharathi kannamma neeyadi chinnamma
  14. Vasanthakaala nadhikalile vaira mani neer alaigal
  15. ennullil engo engum geetham en ketkirathu
My all time favourite song of Vani Jayaram is Malligai En mannan mayangum:

.

Vani Jayaram has rendered more than 8,000 songs in various languages and has registered for herself a unique and permanent place in the Music World.  She has been very aptly given the title "South Indian Meera".
