Dandapani Desikar, a man with a mesmerising but deep voice, was one of the reigning monarchs in 50s & 60s. He was from the Oduvar community & was a master not only of Thevarams but Pasurams too. He attained immortality in the character Nandanar in the film bearing the same name; his singing of Gopalakrishna Bharathi & Papanasam Sivan krtis remain ever in minds of people. MSS learnt the famous Sambandar Thevaram "Siraiyarum Madakkiliye" from him in the unique tradition of Oduvars & it became a hit.

A great promoter of Tamil Music, he was also a fine composer. To his credit are many songs, the most popular "Jaga Janani Sukhavani" in Ratipatipriya, a raga he 'invented' & popularised.

He was Head of the Music Dept. of Annamalai Univ. for several years.

He was accompanied by top artists of the day such as Sri LJ and Sri Pazhani on many occasions.
