C.S. Jayaraman, often remembered as a gem from the golden era of Tamil cinema, was a distinguished playback singer and film actor whose timeless contributions have etched a permanent place in the annals of Indian music. Born on April 14, 1911, in Chittor District, Andhra Pradesh, he was a versatile singer, capable of delivering complex classical compositions with the same ease as emotive film melodies.

Jayaraman's mellifluous voice first captivated audiences in the early 1940s, and his career spanned over two decades, during which he became an integral part of the South Indian film industry. Some of his most recent releases before his passing on November 21, 1972, such as "Vishwashanthi," showcase the depth and range of his vocal artistry across various volumes, highlighting his prowess in devotional and film music. "Sandhana Podhigayin," from the film "Thanga Rathnam," stands as a testament to his capability to bring narrative to life through song. Moreover, the original motion picture soundtrack of "Raktha Kanneer" remains one of his most enduring contributions, immortalizing his voice and establishing him as a critical bridge between classical Indian music and cinematic soundtracks of the mid-20th century. Even though the details of the recent releases mentioned do not match his time, his legacy continues to inspire and influence musicians and singers across generations.
