Immortal Musician

Sri MGR Year 98, 14th July, Tuesday

The news was discomforting to hear that the icon of melody music and King of Light Music (Mellisai Mannar) M.S.Viswanathan has passed away early this morning. MSV attended the Ayirathil Oruvan Silver Jubilee function on 1st September 2014 in Kamaraj Arangam, the crowd gave a standing ovation for his entrance but due to his health he only spoke for a minute.

MSV has scored music over 1200 movies including Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Hindi etc. He has worked with our Thalaivar in numerous movies. MSV’s first film with MGR as music director is Jenovah (Genova) Malayalam movie which was released on 17.4.1953 later the Tamil version was released in June. His last film with MGR is also MGR’s last Maduraiyai Meeta Sundarapandian released on 14th January 1978.

His greatest background score to my knowledge is for the movie Ulagam Sutrum Valiban. He had worked tirelessly with MGR to create a masterpiece. We can easily re collect which scene it is by just listening to the back ground music.
