Since 1999

RMIMers were wondering how many Females were there as Music Directors, Singers and Lyricists. For one reason or another the Telugu list was completed first. Here we start with a table of Telugu music directors. The first column is the name of the MD, the second column is the number of songs that they have composed. After the name (F) indicates female, all others are male. We also we will be publishing lists of the lyricists and the singers.

All the work of coordinating the list was done by N Ramaswamy. He has the following to add:

'I would like to thank Venkata Vutukuri for sharing with me the comprehensive list of Singers, Lyricists and Composers which formed the base for this project. Of course this would have not been possible without the help of the following Helpers/Contributors listed below alphabetically".
