Ramesh Naidu is one of the best melodius Telugu music directors during the 70's and 80's. Pasupuleti Ramesh Naidu was born in Kondapalli, Krishna dt. During his early teenage, he ran away from home to Bombay and he worked in a music shop, where he had an opportunity to play with a wide variety of musical instruments and to interact with great Hindi music directors that used to come to the shop.

He was first introduced in Telugu by C. Krishnaveni (a wife of Mirjapuram Zamindaar) with "dAmpatyam" movie and he later worked for a couple of Telugu movies like "manOrama" and by the early 60's he again went back to Bombay. Then he moved to Culcutta and worked for many Bengali movies and later married a Bengali woman. His re-entry into Telugu is through Sobhan Babu's "amma mATa" movie in 1972 and since then he never had to look back. Dasari Narayana Rao, Vijaya Nirmala and Jandhyala are the three main directors, who completley utilized his talent and extracted some of the best Telugu melodies out of him during the 70's/80's.

Ramesh Naidu always used to take the lyrics first and then came up with a beautiful melodious tune to it (only mAma Mahadevan being the other music director who does like that in Telugu). When Veturi wrote a book (komma kommakO sannAyi) recently about his association with some Telugu music/movie directors, he devoted two chapters just to Ramesh Naidu while he talked about all other great people (like mAma Mahadevan, NTR, Athreya, Balu/Ilaya Raja etc) in only one chapter on each one. He has a credit of introducing Lakshmikant-Pyarelal to the Hindi industry. Mani Sarma's dad, Yanamandra Nagayagna Sarma gAru (who played violin in "jOru meedunnAvE tummeda" song in the movie, Sivaranjani) was a permanent music conductor in his orchestra. Ramesh Naidu's last movie was Viswanadh's "swayam krushi" and he passed away a day before the movie release (Sept 3, 1987).
