Music is a well-conceived and protracted sound of beauty. Music is a wonderful instrument that enslaves human beings and animals too. Music is a bridge that integrates the hearts of mankind. It unravels the feelings and emotions such as sadness, happiness and curiosity. That is why it is hailedby the nobles that none can escape from the enthrall of music and even the earth can be made to dance to the tune of music. It is regarded that God is an embodiment of mellifluous music called sentamil. Such songs in Tamil are plenty that would sooth our minds and prevail in our memories for ever.From the olden days till this day musicians such as G.V.Ramanna, K.V.Mahadevan, Adhi- Narayanarao, Chelapathi Rao, Dahkshinamurthy, S.M.Subbianaidu, Ilayaraja and various others have composed numerous mellifluous songs. They have also introduced new and innovative nuances in their music. Viswanathan and Ramamoorthy combination is one among those who produced outstanding and everlasting songs that lives in our hearts. The songs composed by them contain humming, chorous, sounds of the birds with the use of modern instruments that make our minds to delve in their melodies and the songs exist in us forever. Though the songs composed by the kings of melodies became famous and remain everlasting in our minds due to the facts such as the story selection, the performance of actors and actress; the contributions made by the directors and the sound producers; more importantly the contributions made by eminent lyric writers like Kannadasan and Vali and the excellent manner they wrote these songs; the uncompromising way of singing by the play back singers such as P.Suseela, TMS, PBS, S.Janaki, L.R.Eswari, M.S.Rajeswari, P.Leela, Jickey, Sreekali Govindarajan, Jamuna Rani, A.M.Raja, Balasaraswathi, AL Raghavan, Sarojini, Vani Jayaram, it is because of the fact that these songs were composed by the combination of Viswanathan and Ramamoorthy attained fame. These songs pervaded every nook and corner of the society. I use to admire various things from my childhood days such as the air, the moon, the earth, the trees, the plants, the creepers, the flowers and they become part of my life; like-wise the music of Viswanathan and Ramamorthy prevailed in my life. I grew along with their music. There is no end to the grandeur of the music of Viswanathan and Ramamoorthy. It has the power to attract people from all age group. The songs composed by them in 1950-60’s lasts in the minds of people even today. They have become popular and famous when I was a child. Those days there were no communication gagets such as computers, CDs, DVDs, only gramophone and radio existed. Children of this age never know what is gramophone and it is bewildering – how this pair attained fame without these communication gadgets those days. Their songs were admirable as it were composed on the basis of Carnatic music - that is the reason why their songs became immortal. These songs will prevail in us the moment we watch it in the theatre. These songs thus prevailed in me when I was a child and they will last in me till my last breath. I came to know that Carnatic music giant DK Pattamma used to shed tears whenever she listen to the song sonnathu nee thana sol sol enuyire (indeed did you say this please repleat it oh beloved) . Myself enjoyed a TV interview wherein Smt Venai Gayathri displayed the tune nineikatherintha maname in her veena when asked by the interviewer whether she listen to film songs. This shows the fact that Viswanathan Ramamorrthy pair had the uncanny knack of attracting the attention of the Carnatic musicians who generally, do not pay attention to film songs, that is the greatness of this pair. They gave the feeling of taking us to an entirely new world through their music. To put it in a nutshell, it is this pair that had produced outstanding music in accordance with the change of time imbibing modern methods and innovations in their music and took the music to an entirely new direction. They gave importance to musical instruments and involved them to compose their songs. The fame of introducing world music to Tamil film songs belong to them. They have not only composed songs in Tamil language but in Telegu, Malayalam, Kanada and Hindi as well.
