  Ghantasala
Before Ghantasala found himself in the spotlight of public attention, through the media of films and gramophone records, he was an accomplished singer with impeccable training in Carnatic music.
Ghantasala would dance, as a child of six to his father's singing of taranga-s and this earned him the title of Bala Bharata.
Ghantasala changed all this with his sophisticated interpretation (not on stage but on 78 rpm gramophone records) of the author's intent, the character's intent, the character's turmoil being at once musical and accessible.

Or the repentance and bhakti in Raavana's lament #paramaSaivaachara parulalO atyaMta priyudannavasam kalpincinaavu# from Seetaraama Kalyaanam.
In fact, Ghantasala did such an extraordinary job of portraying the emotions and conflicts of characters in movies, in a way that mere pictures or words cannot, that the songs themselves have managed to acquire an independent stature and meaning of their own.
It is a measure of Ghantasala's enormous talent and success that a full thirty years after his death, his songs from the golden age of Telugu music are not just remembered, but continue to be bestsellers.

For nearly three decades, Ghantasala devoted himself to singing and creating some of the greatest songs which, in fact, have enormously contributed to the box-office success of a number of Telugu films particularly in the 50s and the 60's.
Ghantasala managed to sing for both matinee icons, varying in his style and tenor to match the screen charisma of these super heroes.
Ghantasala is sometimes accused of being over emotional, but in many songs he brings a delectable detachment - Siva Shankaree, Raave Naa Cheliya, Challani Vennelalo, Manavi Seyave, Jagame Maarinadhi, Vontarinai Poyaanu- crystallizing the very essence of being human: In devotion to God, in Love, and Alone.

Sri Ghantasala Venkateswara Rao was born on December 4, 1922, in Choutupally, a small village in Andhra Pradesh.
His father passed away when Ghantasala was just 11 years old, and he pretty much regarded his father's last words regarding the magnitude of music, that paved a golden track for him in his later life.
Apparently, Ghantasala did not accept any remuneration for his third movie as music director, as a form of gratitude to the producers, who gave him the golden opportunity to compose for three consecutive films.
