Tamil cinema loses another icon. Playback legend Krishnaraj Ramasamy has passed away at 75, just days after his mentor, composer Deva. From a humble handloom weaver to a household voice, Krishnaraj defined the 90s with folk-flavored hits like *Vellarikka Pinju*. His soulful legacy and iconic partnership with Deva will forever remain etched in the hearts of every Tamil music lover.
