Renowned Malayalam composer Johnson (58) passed away on Thursday, (August 18) evening at his Chennai home following a cardiac failure.
Johnson was known as the melody maker who made his debut with Bharathan’s Aaravam in early 70’s. His combination with Bharathan and later with Padmarajan produced many memorable hits like Namukku Parkan Munthiri Thopukkal, Njan Gandharavan and many others.
In the 90’s he struck a great tune with Sathyan Anthikad with whom he did a record 28 films like Varavelupu, Ponmuttaidinnu Tharavu,Thangathoni, and so many others.
Says Sathyan Anthikad: “ He was not only a great musician but also a good human being. Johnson was a former associate of Devarajan Master, so he knew that melodies are everlasting. He was also a master at background score. Two films that come to my mind as having great background score are Bharathan’s Amaram and Fazil’s Manichitra Thazhu.”
Johnson won the National Film Award for Best Background Score for the films Ponthan Mada (1994) and Sukrutham (1995). He has received three Kerala State Film Award for Best Music Director, for Ormakkayi (1982), Vadakkunokkiyantram and Mazhavil Kavadi (1989), and Angane Oru Avadhikkalathu (1999).
The noted composer also got awards from the Kerala State Film Award for Best Background Music for the films Sadayam (1992) and Sallapam (1996). He has thus received five Kerala State Film Awards in music category, an achievement he shares with Devarajan.
