Golden Era of Music

Those were the days when one had to be really good and talented to be featured in major concerts. In 1939, Vinjamuri was only 23 but he already was featured in Prime-time concerts in Music Festivals along with stalwarts like Chittoor, Semmangudi, Dwaram and TR Mali. Vinjamuri rose to the level of top class artists of the time, at a very young age, and, he consistantly maintained the same level all through his career life; till mid to late 60's:
