V.kumar, known as Melody King, was introduced to TFM by K.Balachandar. He has his
own style, which is clearly different from MSV and KVM at that time. His
songs are very soft, melodious with good mix of indian and western
instruments. He used SPB for many of his songs. Once he had been the asthana
MD for K.Balachandar films. Before that he used to score music for his
plays. Songs like kathoodu than nann pesuvan , unnedam mayanguren ,
madanorchanvam rathiyoodhan , nann unnai vazhthi padugerean, adduthathu
ambujatthi are testimony to his talent.
Some of his hits include:
Chigapu kallu mukuthi - ellaroum nallavere
Kathodu than Paduven - Velli vizha
Unnedam mayanguren - Then sidua vannam (Good use of piano)
Punnagai mannan puvizi kannan - Iru Kodugal
Ennodu Kannan - thaipasam
Madhanorchanvam - Sadurangam (Excellent use of guitar)
