The name Jency might not strike a chord with the newer generation but playback singer Jency has rendered some unbelievably melodious and immortal songs under the aegis of 'maestro' Ilaiyaraja in the late seventies and early eighties. Her songs 'Idhayam Pogudhae...', 'Oru Iniya Manadhu....', 'Aayiram malargalae malarungal....' thrilled millions of music lovers and continue to do so even now.

At the height of her fame, she quit the industry to take care of her family and kids. After nearly two decades, Jency now wants to get back to playback singing. Ilaiyaraja had reportedly called Jency some years ago but Jency couldn't make it to the recording theatre as her son, then a kid, had fallen sick. A man who is punctual and who obeys punctuality, Ilaiyaraja had reportedly avoided meeting Jency afterwards.



In a recent interview to a magazine, Jency had reportedly expressed her desire to get back to singing, again to the music of Ilaiyaraja. She has now got the call not from Ilaiyaraja, her mentor, but from Deva's son Srikanth Deva. When Jency arrived for the recording, Srikanth reportedly paid obeisance to her. Jency reportedly finished the recording in a single take and took the next available flight to her hometown Thiruvananthapuram.
