M.B. Srinivasan, the late music director, once said about the new composers who made their presence felt in the early 1980s: “We have Johnson, and then we have tune-makers!” We often mistake film songs for film music. We forget the background score in the songs and the bits and pieces of musical notations that run through the entire cinema story, which lift us, frighten us, give us hope, bring tears and smiles, and pull us up from the seats to do a hop, a skip, and a jump in tandem with the protagonist. In his movies, from the first reel to the last, it was Johnson all the way. Most composers depend on assistants to do the background scores and rerecording, but he did everything from A to Z in his movie music. On many occasions, I was witness to the incredible spontaneity of Johnson while he was doing the background scores. Back in the early ’90s when songs had to be recorded at one go, he had this habit of composing just the general melody of the songs, and then deciding on the background score at the nth hour, when the instrumentalists arrived. Then he would build a whole body of background music, which jelled with the song and the movie. It was a case of the deadline giving him an adrenalin rush that would spur his spontaneity. His songs had a structure that adhered to the classical dictates of pallavi, anupallavi and charanam with the interludes. There’s a simplicity in his music, which was the hallmark of his greatness. He also had a tremendous grasp of the lyric. The challenge was always to give the maximum to the song in the limited time and embellish the movie’s visuals. There he would sit, his hands on the harmonium, a stub-laden ashtray at hand, an array of string and rhythm instrumentalists assembled around. He had a sharp tongue and the whiplash of criticism can come out of his mouth any moment. The appreciation, likewise, was public, too. (Full write-up given in my blog, Songs On Sand.
