Rahmaniacs, Some excerpts from various artistes on ARR that featured on Big FM on the show today .
*Malgudi Shuba :-* I have sung " Yei Muthu Papa " song for ARR. There is nothing negative against ARR anytime. I know him since 1990. I met him during doing Jingles time. The key to my musical journey was in the hands of ARR *Pop Shalini -* It was a very important stage in my life to have worked with ARR. I got the chance to sing with him for Fanaa song ( Yakkai Thiri ) and also Maram Kothiye chorus. Its always a fantastic experience , and feel proud of being a part of his team *Tippu :-* I like his simplicity and humility. I do not have any life without ARR. It was he who gave me a break. Simply said , " I LOVE RAHMAN". *Sivamani :-* We used to do a lot of jingles in Malayalam, Tamil, telugu. Then we started Roots. He is amazing. Till now I have been playing for him. I am honoured to be with ARR. I thank GOD, I thank Tamil nadu for giving ARR *Kavignar Muthu Kumar -* I have written " Paravasam " song, Jodha Akbar Tamil song, chakkarakatti song, ATM song. ARR gives a lot of freedom, knows how to respect people. On the same night, i wrote Valayapaati song, and also for Chakkarakatti. He will ask us if we liked the song , and if we say yes, he will say Ok we will record. And At times, when the song goes out of beat, he will change the tune to fit the wordings. So flexible. He will always encourage saying good thoughts must be communicated well in the song . Today, worldwide ARR 's feathers are flying high. I pray that he reaches to much more heights . ARR being a tamilian, is a pride to all Tamilians *Kavignar Pa. Vijay* - right from tenali, I have been working with him till ATM. He is a great Blessing to the Music World. His studio is like a holy spot, and it vibrates with spiritual vibrations . His tune mesmerises us and seduces us , and we feel motivated to write more and more *Karthik :-* I saw the staging of Bombay Dreams in UK, and it was an unforgettable moment. Its very difficult for a singer of Indian origin to compose universally accepted tunes to be easily accepted by people of different origins, an the credit goes to ARR. As a born Tamilian, I also feel blessed and proud to be a Tamilian and am able to really feel it now. Thanks to ARR once again. -- regards, Vithur A.R.RAHMAN - MY BREATH & LIFE FORCE
