When I first heard Reethi Gowlai raaga from the song "Enna Punniyam Seytheno" sung by my favorite singer K.J.Yesudas, I could think of the beautiful song "Thalayai Kuniyum Thamaraye", a duet scored by Ilayaraja and sung by S.P.Balasubramaniyam and a female singer (I don't know who). The song looked 100% authentic but a great song to hear.
"Chinna Kannan Azhaikkiraan" of Balamuralikrishna is another example of the raaga.
After a long time, I found A.R.Rehman using this raaga in his song "Azhagana Raakshsiye" but somehow I did not find it impressive. It was again sung by S.P.Balasubramaniyam.
My latest favorite is Vidyasagar using this raaga in the song "Sudum Nilavu" sung by Unni Krishnan and Harini. The song is nicely set in this raaga and the melody just flows in your ears. The words "Kaadhalithu Paar" by Harini is really sweet. Excellent work Vidyasagar! No wonder you like scoring melody songs where you do the best.
