    Hi

    Thanks for the information. Today for the 1st time I heard Amaradeva sing this song, but I have no hesitation in saying that the duplicate is nowhere near the romance of the original sung by Milton Perera. The medium through which a song comes to the listner is the voice of the vocalist . We always associate a song with the singer, & not with the lyricist or the composer. We never associate a song with someone who sings it the 2nd time even though he may be the composer of music, and did not sing it for commercial gain. Master Amaradeva himself would have fallen in love with the original song for its sheer beauty for which the credit is due to Milton Perera. Going by your logic that the composer & lyricist are the owners of a song, I dread to think of the day Sunil Ariyaratne & master Kemadasa break into song for ornamental purposes. I for one will never listen to them!
    Many a lovely melody sung by Victor Ratnayake was composed by Mervyn Perera ( unknown to many ) but he has never done this ornamental thing !
    With all due respect to master Amaradeva, although I never liked his voice.

    What I explained is the legislative rights of a song. Whether it is right or wrong is a seperate debate. That is the situation that exists on this 65536 sqkm called "Sri Lanka"

    The most important thing in asong is music, not the vocalist. Why do we like Hindi songs? The tune is the one that catches the ear first (don't argue saying voice is also the first thing to hear, but the notes that are sung by the vocalist is also music) I personally think the composer is the top man in a song

    All reactions have a counter reaction. I came across this song when Master Amaradeva sang it in "Kala Ulela" of RCC. I have heard the original song later. Now lke you I am also biased thinking what I first heard was better!!;) ;) ;)

    Every person knows Mervyn Perera when they sing "Me nagaraya maa oba muna gasunu nagarayayi". One of legendary Sinhalese songs. It still talks to the emotions of thousands even after 25 years!;)

    Whether you like Amaradeva's voice or not is not a big issue. But his place in Sinhala song culture as a vocalist, violinist, composer, lyricist and a reviewer is unmatchable.

    :rolleyes: Well this was was told by Dr. Ajantha Ranasinghe who was with Mohd. Rafi when he came here. Mohd. Rafi had wanted to listen to some sinhala songs, but had taken a liking only to Jothipala and Victor Ratnayake. But what Dr. Ajantha Ranasinghe says is that he said this statement about Jothipala! Mohd. Rafi had then given them two Rs.500 (this is about 25 years ago!!!!) tickets to one of his concerts in India !!! :) :)
