T.K. Ramamurthy, the older of the music director duo Viswanathan-Ramamurthi who revolutionised orchestration in Tamil film music and became known as ‘Mellisai Mannargal’, died here on 17 April 2013.
He was 92 and is survived by wife, seven daughters and four sons.
They came together in 1952 and split up in 1965. They scored music for 86 films. While MSV continued to dominate the film world, Ramamurthy could not replicate the success of his former partner.
Born in a family of musicians, Ramamurthy was trained in classical music and gained great mastery over the violin even before he was 12. His father Krishnasamy Pillai and grand father Govindasamy Pillai were violinists and his father worked for HMV recording company.
