Even from early '80s, a young student of MLV used to feature along with her on the "Parvathi" concert stage in 'pinpaattu'. Educated in Bangalore with an MA in Economics, she went on to become a big draw in Carnatic music, carrying on the tradition of MLV's style with her presence and musical impact. She is now a reigning star. Vidushi Sudha Ragunathan is proudly featured this time, from her 1996 concert.
Much material about this artiste can be gleaned on the Internet. Subbudu, the famous critic is quoted as having written that if he ever were to be marooned on an island, his wish would be to be able to listen to a cassette of Sudha's music!
