Early life

Viswanathan was born on 24 June 1928 to Manayangath Subramanian and Narayanikutty (or Naanikutty) in Elappully village in Palakkad, Kerala, India. He lost his father when he was four. He was saved by his grandfather when his mother decided to kill him and herself as an escape from abject poverty and lack of support. According to him,he even sold refreshments in a movie theater for a living in his childhood and learned music from Neelakanda Bhagavathar in the period 1933–1939 resulting in his first stage performance in Trivandrum when he was only 13 years old.

Career

Viswanathan Ramamoorthy As Partners

T. K. Ramamoorthy was born into a famous musical family in Trichy and was a talented violinist since young.His father, Krishnaswamy Iyer and grandfather, Malaikottai Govindasamy Iyer were well known violinists in Trichy. Ramamoorthy gave several stage performances along with his father since his childhood days. C. R. Subburaman noted the young Ramamoorthy's talent and hired him as a violinist for HMV when he was only fourteen years old. He later worked in Saraswathi Stores where AVM Studo's boss, Avichi Meiyappa Chettiar,was a partner – which lead him to play violin for AVM's music composer , R. Sudarsanam, in some films. During these days, he also became friendly with P.S.Diwakar ,the famous pianist cum music composer in the Malayala films and was staying with P.S.Diwakar while seeking opportunities. By this time, C. R. Subburaman, was a rising star in the South Indian film music world and Ramamoorthy rejoined him as one of his violinists in his musical troupe. There , he met T. G. Lingappa, another famed violinist. M.S Viswanathan joined this troupe later as a harmonium player in 1950.

M. S. Viswanathan had always wanted to be an actor and singer, but was not successful.He had done a few small roles in stage dramas in 1940's. The famous music composer in the 50s, T. R. Papa, who was a violinist for the doyen of the Tamil film music, S. V. Venkatraman when he met the young struggling Viswanathan, took a liking to him and arranged a job for him as an errand boy for S. V. Venkatraman's musical troupe. In that company of all musicians, Viswanathan realised that he had the inclination and the potential for composing music. He thereafter joined S. M. Subbaiah Naidu and at times assisted him. He then joined C. R. Subburaman as a Harmonium player where he met both T.K.Ramamoorthy and T. G. Lingappa , the two leading violinists at that time. T. G. Lingappa also became a renowned music composer on his own in the 1950s.

MSV was known as a master of playing 3 instruments -harmonium, keyboard and paino by the age of 15 whereas Ramamoorthy was known as master in playing violin by his age of 16.

In 1952, C. R. Subburaman died unexpectedly in the midst of completing the background music for the films such as Devadas, Chandi Rani and Marumagal. Ramamoorthy and Viswanathan joined together and completed the background music for these films . During this time, M.S.Viswanathan also got an opportunity to be the third composer for the film Genova starring M.G.R with M.S.Gnanamani and T.K.Kalyanam, who were famous music composers then.

Both Ramamoorthy and Viswanathan always proudly name C.R.Subburaman as their Guru.M.S.Viswanathan has also mentioned that was also inspired by the music of S.V.Venkatraman and T.R.Papa.

N. S. Krishnan who knew both M.S. Viswanathan and T.K.Ramamoorthy fairly intimately and also their respective talents by then, with foresight, suggested an alliance between them like Shankar Jaikishan in the North. T.K.Ramamoorthy, despite being an excellent musician with an orthodox carnatic musical background, was a shy, modest and reserved person whereas M. S. Viswanathan was naturally talented, charming, forward and dynamic although he lacked the similar background in Carnatic music. Ramamoorthy is older than Viswanathan by seven years, but placing of their names as Viswanathan-Ramamoorthy was agreed upon by both parties on the advice of N. S. Krishnan, who thereafter got the duo Viswanathan-Ramamoorthy their first chance to compose for the film Panam in 1953 which was produced by A.L.Seenivasan and directed by N. S. Krishnan himself.It was the second film for Sivaji Ganesan and the first film for the successful pair in the history of Tamil Films – Sivaji Ganesan – Padmini.During this time,Chithambaram C. S.Jayaraman, music comoposer and singer, also engaged the services of Viswanathan-Ramamoorthy duo for the film Raththa Kanneer to assist him for the background music though music for all the songs in Raththa Kanner were tuned by C.S.Jayaraman himself.It was a slow progress for the duo in the 50s , a period that boasted of many talented composers with the stalwart G.Ramanathan in the lead.After Panam was a success, many film producers and directors approached them and the duo together composed music for over 700 films from 1952–1965.The duo were the highest paid composers and held the number one position in market together from 1959–1965.

However,right from the beginning, the duo displayed a flair for light sweet melodious music. The films like Porter Kanthan, Pasa Valai, Thennali Raman, Gulebahavali, Sugam Enge, Sorga Vasal, etc. in the 50s created a lot attention for them.In 1956, the duo composed for the Telugu film Santhosham,the Telugu adaptation of the Tamil film Velaikaari(story by C. N. Annadurai) with N. T. Rama Rao and Anjali Devi which was a big musical hit.This was reproduced in Hindi as Naya Aadmi with music by Madan Mohan who,impressed by the duo's music, suggested to retain some of the original tunes for the Hindi version.The Hindi song "Laut gaya gam ka zamana" sung by Lata Mangeshkar and Hemanta Kumar Mukhopadhyay in that film, copy of the duo's Telugu song "Teeyani eenati reyi" sung by P. Susheela and G. K. Venkatesh, was a big hit in the North.

Towards the latter part of the 50s, the duo were racing ahead with musical hits like Pudhayal,Nichchaya Thamboolam,Pathi Pakthi. Pahappirivinai,etc.The winning combinations of the duo initially were mainly with the Directors T. R. Ramanna and A. Bhimsingh who produced some mega hits in the late 50s and early 60s – for which the duo composed excellent music and thereby reaching the No.1 slot in the early 60s. Then C. V. Sridhar, after his music composer A. M. Rajah fell out with him in 1961, engaged the duo for his films and many top hits followed. Major studios like Gemini, AVM, etc. were also to engage them later. During this period, the duo also boasted of assistants of the stature of R. Govardhanam, G. K. Venkatesh, Shankar Ganesh and Henry Daniel. They also had Sathan for special voice and sound effects.

On 16 June 1963, at a special function M. S. Viswanathan and T. K. Ramamoorthy were each given the title of Mellisai Mannar(Kings of the Light Music). It was granted by Sivaji Ganesan at the Madras Triplicane Cultural Academy. The function was supported and facilitated by the Hindu Group of Publications, especially Mr. T. M. Ramachandran, Director C. V. Sridhar and Chitralaya Gobu.Though collectively M. S. Viswanathan and T. K. Ramamoorthy were called Mellisai Mannargal (Kings of the Light Music). The title is more used for M.S.V for he continued to be successful as individual music director from 1965–1995.

But M. S. Viswanathan and T. K. Ramamoorthy split up after the release of Aayirathil Oruvan on 9 July 1965. Since then both had composed for films individually. M.S.Viswanathan, in his solo career continued to achieve success as he did earlier and composed music for over 500 films from 1965–1995, but Ramamoorthy as a solo music director could not achieve as much and gradually faded away. He composed for only 19 films from 1966–1986. Vishwanathan was most in demand and was the highest paid music director from 1965–1980. After 29 years, they had rejoined in 1995 just once for the Sathyaraj starrer Tamil film Engirundho Vanthan.

The composer duo are given the credit in moulding the careers of singers especially that of singers, T. M. Soundararajan, P. B. Srinivas and L. R. Eswary who owe their success partially to the duo and in particular to M. S. Viswanathan as they were most regular singers with them. (T. M. Soundararajan was the all time favourite singer for Viswanathan).P. Susheela too owes a great deal to the duo as their main female singer.A. L. Raghavan and S. Janaki sang for them, but not so regularly till 1965. Jikki used to be their favourite before P. Susheela, but the duo was divided on A. M. Rajah. Ramamoorthy was keen to use him, but Viswanathan always resisted using him owing to personality conflict after the film Genova , with the result that A. M. Rajah sang only 5 songs for the duo even at the height of his career in the 50s. In their films, A. M. Rajah did not even give his voice to Gemini Ganesan, except for the film Pathi Pakthi. Their early years saw them also working with the already well established singers like M. L. Vasanthakumari, C. S. Jayaraman, Raavu Balasaraswathi, P. Leela, Jikki,M. S. Rajeswary, Jamuna Rani, Sarojini and Sirkazhi Govindarajan.The actor-singer's , T. R. Mahalingam and J. P. Chandrababu also sang memorable songs for the duo.

The duo composed for over 700 films during the 50s and 60s, revitalising Chennai film music. The duo parted in 1965 and since then they had composed for films individually. Both T. R. Ramanna and A. Bhimsingh were saddened by this development , but still worked with both of them,but individually in different films they produced and directed – which showed that at that stage equal importance was given to both. M.S.Viswanathan, in his solo career continued to achieve success as he did earlier and composed music for over 500 films from 1965–1995, but Ramamoorthy as a solo music director could not achieve as much and gradually faded away. He composed for only 19 films from 1966–1986. Vishwanathan was most in demand and was the highest paid music director from 1965–1980.However, many critics pointed out that without Ramamoorthy, the likes of the lilting melodies of the golden era when they were together were never to be heard again.

Viswanathan and Ramamoorthy rejoined once after 29 years of separation just once for the film Engirundho Vanthan in 1995.

M.S.Viswanthan as separate music director

A legendary perfectionist, he established a prolific career composing film music in the Tamil film industry.

M.S.Viswanathan, in his solo career continued to achieve success as he did earlier and composed music for over 500 films from 1965–1995, but Ramamoorthy could not achieve as much and gradually faded away. Vishwanathan was most in demand and was the highest paid music director from 1965–1985. MGR preferred MSV over other music directors from 1964–1977 for composing music in the films starring him.

M.S.Viswanathan's achievements range from introducing fresher melodies with changing trends, style and orchestration approaches to incorporating various genres of what is now called world music into Indian cinema music. Humming, Chorus, Viscilling were all incorporated swiftly in the songs composed by M.S.V without usage of advanced technology way back in 1950's to 1970's. MSV continued to upgrade his music with new trends like western music and disco from the early 1970's till 1990's and blended them with Indian classical tunes.

Viswanathan during the late 70s and 80s chose mainly the young , up and coming singers , S. P. Balasubramaniam, K. J. Yesudas and Vani Jayaram giving career's of these singers the much needed boost. Viswanathan continued to work regulalry with P.Susheela, L.R.Eshwari and T.M. Sounderrajan in many films from 1965–1985. Although S.P.Balasubramaniam shot to fame with the song "Ayiram Nilave Vaa" from Adamai Penn , a K. V. Mahadevan composition in 1969,it was really Viswanathan who booked him first for a Tamil film. S.P.Balasubramanyum regards Viswanathan as his mentor for he gave him the break in Tamil films with the song "Iyarkai Ennum" in the film Shanthi Nilayam which was recorded in 1969, but released later than Admai Penn. Viswanathan introduced Jayachandran , the famous Malayalam singer to the Tamil films in Manippayal and used him for many more films in 70's. K. Y. Jesudas was given big break with film Kathalikka Neramillai in 1964 by the duo but Viswanathan started working mre with Yesudas from 1970. In the 70s, at the insistence of M. G. Ramachandran , Yesudas was his voice in many films in Viswanathan's music like in Nalai Namathe, Urmaikural, Sirithu Vazha Vendum etc. Their co-operation continued consequent on the success of these songs and then Viswanathan used Yesudas for the up-and-coming actors like Kamalahasan and others. M.S.Viswanthan is alone held responsible for making singers like R.Balasaraswathi in early 1960's and then in making Vani Jayram, S.Janaki, A.L. Raghavan, Yesudas, S.P.Balasubramaniyam a popular name after 1965 in South India.

He has done playback singing for 500 songs composed by himself and has sung over 200 songs of composed by music directors like V. Kumar, Shankar Ganesh, Ilayaraaja, Gangai Amaran, Deva, Bharathwaj and A. R. Rahman. M.S.Viswanathan has also scored music for many non-film albums and for political campaigns. MSV is the inspiration for music directors Shankar Ganesh, Ilayaraaja, Deva, V. Kumar, A.R.Rahman, Vidyasagar, Gangai Amaran, Bharathwaj and others. His achievements also include appearances in numerous films and television series.M. S. Vishwanathan went on to act in a couple of Tamil feature films notably appearing in Kaadhal Mannan after being convinced to do so by actor Vivek, while he also starred in Kamal Haasan's Kaathala Kaathala and Karthik's Rojavanam.

He mainly teamed up with the well-known Tamil poet and lyricist Kannadasan in 1960's and 1970's and also with Vaali, but to a lesser extent. Viswanathan continued to belt out hit songs in 1970's till 1990's

Since late 1990's Viswanathan has focused on composing devotional music and serving as a judge in Malayalam TV reality shows. He has collaborated with Illaiyaraja in 'Mella Thiranthathu Kathathavu', 'Senthamizh Paatu' 'Vishwa Thulsi' and 'Senthamizh Selvan' starring Prashanth.
