Raveendran began his career as a playback singer through the song "Parvanarajanithan" from a Malayalam film, Velliyazhcha. Later he associated with many composers and meanwhile served as a dubbing artist for films. He dubbed for actor Shankar in Aranjaanam directed by P. Venu. Primarily wished to become a playback singer, his destiny was changed by K. J. Yesudas, who realised his ability to create tunes which eventually led to his first movie Choola in 1979.[1]
Film songs
[edit]Raveendran's film music composing career starts from the J. Sasikumar directed 1979 movie Choola, from which the song "Taarake mizhiyithalil kanneerumayi", rendered by his music college friend K. J. Yesudas, became a hit. In a career spanning 26 years, until his death in 2005, he composed music for about 148 movies (including unreleased movies) and about 30 studio albums.
