This is a humongous achievement in itself. Raaja has composed close to 5,000 songs in roughly 950 movies, mostly all by himself (he has worked with MSV on occasions). I’m just trying to put all of that to test. Some of the popularly held beliefs in this topic include, “Raaja owed much of his success in the 80s to his partnership with Vairamuthu”, “Raaja’s humongous successes are with Vairamuthu and Vaali”, “Vaali and Vairamuthu have written the maximum songs for Raaja”. I shall try to be as objective as possible. You may consider this to be one such attempt. A prominent exercise involves trying to putting into perspective Raaja’s music with the various lyricists. Recently, I made a playlist on youtube of Gangai Amaran written – Ilayaraaja composed songs.
