entered Tamil cinema
through Annakkili.
His journey since
then has been on a
rising trajectory
and he ruled the Tamil
industry like a colossus
for almost twenty
years. His blend of
rustic
ethnicity with keen
musical acumen created
a unique experience
to the listeners. He
received the National
award for Sindhu bairavi,
Rudraveena and Sagarasangamam.
Besides scoring music
for over 850 films he
has created numerous
albums and conducted
the London Symphony
Orchestra which was
a rare honour. His recent
Tiruvasagam in symphony
has been receiving rave
response. In a function
to be held on the 16th
of this month, Jaya
TV has planned to felicitate
him for his lifetime
achievement in music.
He will also conduct
a programme featuring
his songs.
