First singer??

He is not the first telugu playback singer. That credit goes to M. S. Rama Rao. However, beyond doubt, Ghantasala was the first Popular playback singer in Telugu. I will change the main article after getting proper references for the M. S. Rama Rao factoid. --Gurubrahma 14:00, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

Removed text

This section contains referenced text I removed during a copy-edit / cleanup / purge. The refs might be useful to later editors, but the text here is probably puffery etc. Baffle gab1978 (talk) 04:45, 19 November 2014 (UTC)

From header:

According to "The Hindu" of 11 February 2003 and "The Indian Express" of 14 February 1974, Ghantasala was: such a divine talent, who with his songs, could move the hearts of the people. "Ghantasala's blending of classical improvisations to the art of light music combined with his virtuosity and sensitivity puts him a class apart, above all others in the field of playback singing". Ghantasala was "no mere singer" but also a "true poet" who with his melodious voice could comprehend and did give expression to the deepest feelings of love, pity, joy, suffering, piety, happiness and bitterness in a manner no one else could, or did. One cannot help feeling that it would have been hardly possible for him to sing on all those varied themes with such intensity of fervor and likeness to reality, and precision in apprehension, had he not himself lived and experienced these basic emotions inwardly, in as great a manner as any of the great poets ever had. The "Melody King" legendary Ghantasala continues to hold sway over millions of music lovers, crossing generation barriers, with the mellifluous magic spell of his golden voice
