Anil, had skill in singing English songs too which was dire inevitability for a band to become popular \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5Vfv3dR3r6M\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 16px;\">Anil Bharathi, the singer with n appropriate\u00a0 bass voice, begun as a vocalist to the Golden Chimes pop group, Anil was invited to join the band as their English vocalist as the band wanted a talented singer in English vernacular. In fact, he is the cousin brother of Chanaka Perera, the ace bass guitarist and leader of Beacons dance band of the 60s and founder member and present leader of Golden Chimes band. Clarence Wijewardena wrote and arranged music for the highly popular \u2018Ada Wai Hiru Dina\u2019, Anil\u2019s first original Sinhala pop song, which he recorded with the Golden Chimes on the Lotus recording label. \u2018 Adare Nnangi\u2019 is another memorable jumbo hit song Anil recorded with Clarence and the Golden Chimes, which incidentally was penned by Karunaratne Abeysekara , where Clarence Wijewardena is accountable for the melody and toe-banging music compositions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 16px;\">In the late seventies two songs Anil sang with Clarence and Super Golden Chimes became enormously trendy. These two songs were \u2018Tikirimalee \u2018and \u2018Maa Mulin Lliyu Pempatha\u2019 and they were written by prolific musician Vernon Perera, while the musical count was by Clarence Wijewardena. Songs were recorded on another highly admired recording label of yesteryear \u2018Gemtone\u2019 of Wijepala Hettiarachchi fame.. In the good old 70s there were Hit Parade programmes in all three languages over SLBC\u2019s Sinhala, English, and Tamil services. E.H.Geetha Dahara (Sponsored by E.H.Cooray Furnitures, Moratuwa), Velona Geetha Dahara ( Sponsored by Velona Group of Companies, Moratuwa) were two popular radio programmes (Sinhala Song Hit Parades) broadcasted every Sunday afternoons from 1.15 pm to 1.45 pm Anil\u2019s Tikirimalee and Maa Mulin Lliyu Pempatha were familiarised in these programmes and they reached no. ONE spot in no time due to the immense assistance of passionate music fans. In the late 70s Anil teamed up with Dr.Ranjith Bolonne in the\u00a0 Sunshines band having performed for a while culminating in producing a EP record which incidentally contained the popular song Dasa Vimala.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/W0VG_Wra_5A\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 16px;\">Anil and Ronnie Leitch had a short stin togethert with the legendary Super Golden Chimes before their disbanded.Anil had sung many other songs which had become instant hits and are heard today too\u00a0 over our air waves.Anil had sung a duet with Indrani Perera for film \u201cDamayanthi in the late 1970 decade to the lyrics of Karunaratne Abeysekera.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 16px;\">Over his musical career a number of\u00a0 song-writers and music directors had aided Anil\u00a0 were Clarence Wijewardena, Karunaratna Abeysekara, Premakeerthi de Alwis, Lakpriya de Silva, K.D.K.
