This is one of my favourites and I've got a memorable experience too with this one.
This was my debut song in my college. Everything is still fresh in my mind. It was the inter-departmental culturals Ovations '96 and it takes place in 'Bertram Hall' where the entire college will be gathered. I sang the initial humming, the guy on the guitar played his piece and I just sang the first line... the power went off!!
Then after a few minutes power was back and I rendered this song. I still remember Dr. Martin coming up to me and shaking hands saying "you sang really well".. I felt so honoured since he himself was a great singer.

Raja Raja Chozhan
This is an evergreen song by Ilayaraja and sung by Yesudas.
My first performance on stage was this song. The school that I went to conducts singing competition every children's day. I was in my 7th standard and I was delighted to have been selected in the prelims. Every evening once I come home from school I used to listen to this song in preparation for the finals(Thanks to my aunt in US who gifted us a tape recorder and to my brother who recorded this song!).
It was Nov 14, 1989. I went up on stage, reached out to the mic and said "K C James 7th B"(Thats the routine for all participants). Then I started to sing the song. The entire school became silent once I started singing. Getting such a response felt awesome to me... Before the results were announced some of my friends who got a chance to take a peek in to the judges' scorecards came and told me that I've won a prize. Its nice to recall those treasured moments.
Please listen to it and drop in your comments.
