It is pretty interesting to note that even young current singers still
sing hits by Ghantasala. I think that shows how remarkable of popularity
Ghantasala's songs had. One more fine example of this is the TANA tour
of Ramakrishna, Susheela, Jikki, etc last summer. I think it was
interesting to note that Ramakrishna, even though he was a fairly popular
singer in his own right, performed only songs sung by Ghantasala. All of
the duets that Ramakrishna and Susheela sang together were also strictly
Ghantasala/Susheela duets. Maybe we have seen a peak in telugu music
with Ghantasala. Interesting how almost all telugu people, can off the
top of their heads name ten Ghantasala/Susheela hits, but have trouble
naming ten hits of other telugu singers.
