But the one song in the genre that has to be among the best ever delivered by Vani has to be . The skill of Ilaiyaraaja is such that he used the same singer for a similar-sounding raga (Dharmavathi/Madhuvanthi) in an altogether different way to whip up an almost opposite mood (). (By the way, even when A R Rahman used her voice, he went for the Ilaiyaraaja style book ()) . Ilaiyaraaja used her voice for the single heroine’s myriad feelings in a variety of films. Also, quite early, Vani also became the go-to singer for stage songs (songs where the heroine is singing on a stage in the film) and function songs. Ilaiyaraaja even had the quirky idea to try her voice in the sensual Through the first half of the 70s Vani’s songs were heard across all the four southern Indian film industries, and she was indeed a name to reckon with. Of course, this is open to debate, but Vani's strong classical training and her ability to travel through difficult musical phrases with rare felicity meant she was also going to make a mark in film singing which called for all the flair of classical singing without the need to be heavy. This Telugu song for the music directors Rajan-Nagendra for the film Pooja also showed that Vani could hold her own against her remarkable contemporaries S Janaki and P Susheela. (In any case, she would come back in Hindi in the early 80s to prove a point through that music tour de force Meera under the baton of the legend Pandit Ravishankar for 12 spectacular songs).

It was not because she did not have the requisite talent or skill, it was perhaps due to the texture of her voice.

1973 February 1—it was an unforgettable day for Vani Jayaram. That was the day she made her singing debut in Malayalam cinema. Unexpected and joyous!

That was proved without a doubt by her flawless rendition of ‘Olanjali Kuruvi’ in the film '1983' (2013). Through the ‘Jai Vani Trust’ she actively worked towards funding education for girls as well as in providing protection for them. Her last Malayalam song was for the film 'Madhaveeyam' in 2019. Later she won a National award for the Tamil film, ‘Apoorva Ragangal’ in 1975. That was the day she made her singing debut in Malayalam cinema. In 2016 she sang in ‘Pulimurugan’ (Manathe Marikarumba) and 'Captain' (Manathe Marikarumba) in 2018. It was an invitation to sing for Jaya Badhuri for the film ‘Guddi.’ Vani couldn’t believe her ears. It was at that time that people from Madras came to know that Vani Jayaram was from South India. It was just a coincidence that it took a film like 'Swapnam' to eventually manifest her dream. That time she was called to dub Samboorna Ramayan in Hindi. And that had something to do with the astrologer’s prediction that she will be a big singer in the future. Though she was taught music from the age of five, her father felt that was inadequate for her.
