The song was penned by <span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">O.N.V Kurup</span> and the music was composed by <span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">Johnson</span>.</span></p><br /><p align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Johnson is one of the prominent music directors of South India, who has contributed lots of evergreen melodies to malayalam music mostly during the 80s and 90s. He has contributed more as a composer of film scores for many south indian movies. Padmarajan's </span><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">'Namukku Paarkkaan Mundhirithoppukal'</span></span><span style="font-family:Arial;"> is the first movie which comes to my mind. His music score in the movie was so haunting and so is <span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">'Koodevide'</span>. They are my very favourites.</span></p><br /><p align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Johnson's enchanting music has added good amount of emotions to both <span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">Padmarajan's</span> and <span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">Bharathan's</span> movies. Padmarajan's <span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">Koodevide, Namukku Paarkkaan Mundhirithoppukal</span> and Bharathan's Kaattathe Kilikkoodu, Ormakkai, Paalangal, Chamayam etc. are some of the examples.</span></p><br /><p align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Among his compositions, 'Ente Manveenayil' from <span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">'</span><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 51);">Naeram Pularumbol' </span>and 'Nee Nirayoo Jevanil' from <span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">'Premageethangal'</span> are my most favourites.</span></p><br /><p align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;">A chip off the old 'Gold' block of Malayalam Music Directors, Johnson's creations are still sort after even among young music lovers.

Raveendran dominated Malayalam music world during the 80s and 90s, with many unforgettable melodies and semi-classical songs in which, most of them were evergreen hits. His contribution to Malayalam music is immeasurable. I would say he is one of the very few music directors who have made semi-classical songs familiar to normal music listeners. <span style="COLOR: rgb(255,255,255)">‘Pramadavanam’, ‘Ezhu Swarangalum’, ‘Rama Kadha’</span> etc. are some examples.</span></p><p align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;">Raveendran started his career as a playback singer in the 70s and evolved as a one of the foremost music directors of south India. He has composed about 1500 songs, which includes 450 films and several other light music and devotional albums. <span style="COLOR: rgb(255,255,255)">‘Maamaangam’, ‘Valampiri sankhil’</span> etc. are some of my personal favorites.</span></p><p align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;">Right from <span style="COLOR: rgb(255,255,255)">‘Thaarake’ (Choola)</span> to <span style="COLOR: rgb(255,255,255)">‘Gange’ (Vadakkumnathan)</span>, majority of his songs was sung by <span style="COLOR: rgb(255,255,255)">Yesudas</span>. Malayalam music is really fortunate to have such a great combination, offering hit after hit for more than 2 decades.</span></p><p align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;">With <span style="COLOR: rgb(255,255,255)">‘Thenum Vayambum’</span> (1981), Raveendran made his mark in the Malayalam film world. ‘Thenum Vayambum’ and ‘Ottakkambi Naadam’ are still sought-after numbers for malayalees. The lyrics were penned by <span style="COLOR: rgb(255,255,255)">Bichu Thirumala</span> and the song was sung by <span style="COLOR: rgb(255,255,255)">Yesudas</span>. Like every other composition of his, Raveendran made sure the flute and violins play prominent roles in this song as well.</span></p><p align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;">I present this song as a tribute to <span style="COLOR: rgb(255,255,255)">Raveendran <em>Maash</em> – The Legend</span> and I am really fortunate to have associated with him, even though for a very short period.</span></p><p align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;">Thenum Vayambum used to be my starting song for almost every stage show in Dubai.
