While we move into 70s now, plugging earlier blog regarding 1970s TFM scenario. I was managed to write until 1974 and 1975 is left I assume. Will finish that soon.

Now entering into 70s Pongal releases.
1970 Pongal had 3 releases again with MGR vs Sivaji and Ravichandran had a release.
'Jeevanaadi' written by KSG starring Lakshmi and Ravichandran music by V Dhakshinamoorthy. Finest album full of melodies.
This one is by VJ with Krishna Chandran lovely melody. What a beautiful humming throughout.
This album have one another carnatic based number by KJY and Soolamangalam Rajalakshmi.
Still not done, this TMS LRE is mind blowing prelude. What a orchestral brilliance.
MGR starrer 'Maatukkaara Velan' directed by P Neelakantan had KVM scoring music. And JJ paired with MGR.
This album was also a big hit with TMS rocking throughout.
This peppy one by TMS with LRE and PS. What a number.
And LRE in her elements in this one
1971 had two releases. Sivaji starrer 'Iru Thuruvam' remake of Gunga Jumna music by MSV.
What a wonderful singing by Sirkazhi and rich lyric value. TFM was very healthy those days
And this song is highlight, with themmangu style and MSV rocking.
CV Sridhar produced 'Uttharavindri Ulle Vaa' and romcom written by none other than Gopu. What a riot this movie.
Ravichandran paired with beautiful Kanchana and a great star cast.
MSV, like day in day out, gave an absolute album.
LRE with TMS and Balu. What a great fusion.
And this mesmerizing melody PS with M L Srikanth. The humming and prelude takes us to a different world.
Another fusion from MSV. Balu's magic humming and following prelude. Balu, PS, LRE with Saibaba.
Not done yet, this one will surely take place in top 50 songs of Balu. Balu was a beast in 70s that too with MSV.
In 1972 no big releases. APN came up his signature mythology ' Agathiyar' and KB's 'Kanna Nalama'.
Kunnakudu composed for Agathiyar which had lovely songs, having Sirkazhi and TRM on screen, nothing surprising to get those lovely numbers.
T K Kala debuted with this number and it was instant hit.
This classic sung by TMS and Sirkazhi. Ragas galore
K D Santhanam, one of finest lyricist wrote this dance number. M R Vijaya sung beautifully.
KB's Kanna Nalama was a tear jerker. MSV scored for this movie.
This lullaby from PS
1973 Pongal had one release. RM Veerappan production 'Manipayal' directorial debut by A Jaganathan, who went to give some super duper hits like 'Idhayakani' 'Moondru Mugam' 'Thanga Magan' 'Kadhal Parisu' etc.
End of this decade, in 1978, MGR's last movie 'Maduraiyai Meeta Sundara Pandiyan' released.
P Neelakantan has directed this historical movie with MSV scoring the album. MGR's favorite lyricists Pulamaipithan and Muthulingam wrote all songs.
Vani Jairam went on to sing two classic melodies one with PJ and another with KJY.
This one by VJ PJ based on Dwivijavanthi, what a classic one
This Sudha Saveri by VJ with KJY. Gorgeous Latha on screen.
Surprisingly PS got a non melody in this album.
With this we have come to the end of 1970s Pongal releases. Another good decade with respect to Tamil Film Music and movie scripts too.
We will move on to Enchanting 80's shortly, till then enjoy Scintillating 70s.
