This song is from the trend setting movie of 1976. Yes, it is Annakkili with the introduction of Ilayaraja.

People might think it is a rare combination of Music Director and Singer, but in late 70s, Ilayaraja used TMS for many of the movies. In my opinion, IRTMS combination is one of the best combinations in Tamil Film Music. Some people comment TMS didnt sing this in folk style (like S.Janaki did the female version in folk style). But they miss to understand about the charactor singing the song. He is a school teacher from town and that needs little polishing in the words. I think Ilayaraja and Lyricist Panju Arunachalam were quite clear about this.

Listen to this song. TMS sounds so few and fresh.
