  American Mavericks: Genesis of a Music Preface 1947
Music, "good" or not "good," has only two ingredients that might be called God-given: the capacity of a body to vibrate and produce sound and the mechanism of the human ear that registers it.
Musical creators have been, and are, the exponents and the victims of system, philosophy, and attitude, determined for them by textbooks and classrooms, and by the atmosphere in which they grow; in short, by their milieu.
Consequently the later history of Western music is of one system, one philosophy, one attitude, and it is characterized by successive bodies of practitioners made up of multitudes of innocent believers and sprinklings of individualists who are frequently unequal to the struggle—the struggle of fundamental dissent with the musical practicalities.

 Seasons India :: Carnatic Classical Music - Musician Srinivasa Iyer
The success in the field of music by Dharmasamvardhini’s brother, Tirukodikaval Krishna Iyer (one of the first successful Carnatic musicians who played violin), and her nephew Narayanaswami Iyer, led Radhakrishna Iyer to decide that music would be a good career for his son.

In the late 1930s he was considered as one of the front line vocalists of the period and in 1947, the Music Academy of Madras awarded him the title Sangeetha Kalanidhi.

 Muddy Waters: The Anthology: 1947-1972 - PopMatters Music Review
Starting with the simple, raw, and countrified authenticity of tracks like "Gypsy Woman" and "I Can't Be Satisfied" from 1947 and 1948 to the full out electrified sound of 1969's "All Aboard", which includes a young Paul Butterfield on harmonica, the anthology squarely focuses on Waters' mid- to late-1950s output.
Also included is "Rollin' Stone", the driving source of inspiration and namesake for a group of young British art students who would later stand alongside the Beatles as one of the greatest rock bands of all time.
While the machine-gun guitar intros, loping shuffle beats and pained blues shout of Waters has been imitated to the point of exhaustion, his music and style is unmistakable.
