MSV was the first one to introduce westernised orchestration in TFM. His melodies will forever be remembered especially by Shivaji and MGR fans. I have listened to certain songs of his and the orchestration in them is superb.

I would also like to add KV Mahadevan to the list of tfm legends for his undisputed use of raagams in songs. Paatum Naanae will forever be remembered for the way he tuned the raagam to suit TMS voice.
