Advertisement in this section will be in His father G. V. Narayanaswami Iyer, the popular Headmaster of Hindu High School, , was a type-cast Tanjorean to the standard panel sizes of 4 cm. x 1 column (costing only Rs. 500) hilt. Music ran in the veins of Iyer and he was on first-name basis and intimacy with the legendary musical stalwarts of the day and 4 cm. x 2 column (costing Rs. 1000) Tirukodikaval Krishna Iyer (the violin wizard and Semmangudi Srinivasa Iyer’s uncle), Thirumarugal Natesa Pillai (the great nagaswaram-exponent T. N. Rajaratnam Pillai’s uncle), Palladam Sanjeeva Rao (the famed flautist), and Ariyakudi Ramanuja Iyengar, the greatest Roman of them all. They frequently visited him at his home in Madras and often sang there. No wonder that music entered the soul, sinews and skin of the young lad, Balu. “Right from my birth I lived in an atmosphere drenched in music and this helped to nurture, develop and sustain my ardour in music”, GNB wrote later. Blessed with handsome looks, charm and a malleable melodious voice, GNB received encouragement in music from his learned father. And he did well in his studies too and secured his B. A. (Hons.) degree in English Literature in 1930. Like most middle-class Brahmins of the day, his father wished that his son should become a lawyer and move to Luz Church Road, where top lawyers lived in their bungalows and garden houses! But GNB had already made up his mind to be a professional performing musician. Indeed he took his bow in 1928 by singing at the Kapaleeswarar temple in Mylapore. It was a raving debut. He had received training under the noted violinist Karur Chinnaswami Iyer and Madurai Subramania Iyer, both neighbours in Triplicane. Besides formal training, he had imbibed by sheer mental osmosis by listening to the great legends like Ariyakudi Ramanuja Iyengar and Maharajapuram Viswanatha Iyer. Soon his fame began to fan out fast and ere long he was a much- sought-after performer. His style of singing found increasing favour with music lovers and a ‘GNB-bani’ emerged. And, lo, GNB, the legend was born ….. Not surprisingly Tamil cinema spread out the red carpet to the resplendent rising star and a Coimbatore-based film producer, A. N. Maruthachalam Chettiar first signed GNB for his movie. Affection- ately known as ‘Chellam’, he had promoted a film company, ‘Chellam Talkies’ in association with his pals like the textile mill owner and moneybag of Kovai, P. S. Sathappa Chettiar. Its first venture was ‘ Bhama Vijayam’ , a mythological about Lord Krishna, Sathyabhama and Rukmini. To direct the movie, the Hollywood-trained filmmaker Manik Lal Tandon was engaged and, since he knew no Tamil, the Coimbatore- lawyer- turned-filmmaker C. K. Sachi was brought in to assist him. Popular stage stars P. S. Ratna Bai, P. S. Saraswathi Bai (known as ‘Palayamkottah Sisters’ or ‘Bai Sisters’) and M.R. Krishnamurthy were fixed to play Rukmini, Sathyabhama and Krishna respectively. (Krishnamurthi was Maharajapuram Viswanatha Iyer’s younger brother and noted stage and screen star of his day.) It was to play as Sage Narada that GNB was brought in. He was described in the posters, hand-bills and song books of ‘Bhama Vijayam’ as ‘Hutchins Gramophone Plate Fame Sangeetha Vidwan’ Washing Machines, as he was the first recognized Carnatic musician to act in cinema. Fridges (2 door (Hutchins was a gramophone record producing company of yester- specialist), A/cs, years which had on its rolls prominent artistes to sing for it. Micro Ovens, Induction Gramophone records were then colloquially called ‘plates’.) Stove Services ‘Bhama Vijayam’, produced at a cost of Rs. 80,000, collected over Rs. 10 lakhs at the box office, an incredible megabuck in the 1930s! T. Nagar / Mambalam Like most Tamil films of the day, it too had as many as 59 songs! GNB sang eight of them in the classic ragas Atana, Sahana, Sindhu Bhairavi, Thodi, Senjurutti, Yadukulakambhodhi, Hindolam and Hamsanandhi. Interestingly Narada sang ‘Balakanakamaya’ in raga Atana and ‘ Koti nadhulu in raga Thodi, compositions of Saint Thyagaraja Swamigal, as duets with Lord Krishna! That was not all. In the end, all characters in the movie sang in chorus ‘Jana Gana Mana’! Anachronism? Maybe, but nobody cared a damn. Surely those were the days! (To be continued) REQUEST TO READERS!
