Bajjo ra na kanna

Song : Bajjo ra na kanna
Movie Name : Moodu Mullu
Singer :  S P Balasubramaniam, 
Music Director : Rajan Nagendra

    There are so many reasons why I love this song. Firstly, it is one of the earliest songs I got addicted to. After I started actively accumulating songs, I searched for this song in a lot of places. No one sold casettes of this movie (not even that one odd store in Hyderabad which sold old Illayaraja movie songs). I thought I had to resort to taping a poor version of the song from the movie some time when it would be shown on TV. You can appreciate how overjoyed I was when I finally found it. There is something about Balu of those years. Perhaps because he is such an amazing icon with humble beginnings. Perhaps it is his association with Rajan Nagendra. Perhaps it is because he was thin. Perhaps it is because he sings with a smile always. Whatever it may be, I enjoyed this song whenever it was shown on TV or radio. Rajan Nagendra were on fire in this movie and in this era. The style of music that they brought with them was melodious, psychadelic,  trendy and memorable. Balu must be greatful to many people in his career for giving him so many wonderful songs. I hope he doesnt ever forget Rajan-Nagendra.
