Kannil Enna Kaarkaalam, from Un Kannil Neer Vazhindhal More than a few fans of this song say it transports them to another plane. Ilayaraja himself sang this song from Metti, by Mahendran, with Janaki providing the humming. The вЂ80s were marked by dozens of melodies of this sort. This vibrant song in the sweet voice of Janaki will always remain a favourite with those who listened to the radio in the late вЂ70s.
