arr was first introduced to mani by suhasini maniratnam,mani's wife.then mani discussed roja with arr and asked him to do an album as an audition.arr sent mani the album of roja to delhi within maybe one day and mani was so impressed he roped in arr.we all know mani worked with IR until dalapathy after which he had a tiff. the point i'm making is, had mani known arr as an assosciate of IR,how does he hear about arr through his wife?arr worked with IR as a keyboard player while still a child and later went on to work with many other people.he was not assosciated with IR for that long that he needs to credit his music with IR.the music arr knows comes to him through his father Mr.R.Shekhar.
so guys all due respect to the great IR,but does arr really need to credit him? ----- Original Message ---- From: nat_samy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, 10 September, 2007 12:49:35 PM Subject: [arr] Re: Arr...why is he not crediting Illayaraja What has been irking me more than 'ARRahman not crediting IR' is 'why IR has not been instrumental in bringing out ARR's talent to the world'. ARR has worked with IR for sometime, I would have expected IR to pass the mantle. Why it has to be a director Mani Ratnam who heard about Rahmans talent from word of mouth. Ofcourse a gifted talent like ARR is not going to be hidden away. I have been a fan of IR since 70s. I did not know much about the early years of ARR, as I myself came to know his greatness as late as 1996. I am not trying to stir up any contraversy, it is too late anyway, it is just something I have been wondering but not opened up. --- In arrahmanfans@ yahoogroups. com, kenny korg <kenny_korg@ ...> wrote: > > U r right Kalimuthu. > u said this in ur post.. > "But I would say it's IR who revolutionised tamil music more than anybody > else (before ARR).
