Raveendran began his career as a playback singer through the song "Parvanarajanithan" from a Malayalam film, Velliyazhcha. Later he associated 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 him his ability to create tunes which eventually led to his first movie Choola in 1979.[1]
Film songs
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 superhit. 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.
