D. V. PaluskarDattatreya Vishnu Paluskar was the son of the great Pandit Vishnu Digambar Paluskar but could not learn from his father as he died when Dattatreyaji was only 11 years old. He mainly learnt under the guidance of Pandit Vinayak Rao Patwardhan and become an exceptional vocalist, God-gifted with an extremely sweet voice effortlessly flowing. His rendering of Bhajans is unequalled.
His death is somewhat mysterious as it happened suddenly while returning from a trip in Russia. He was barely 34 years old.

B. R. DeodharBorn in Miraj, he graduated  from Bombay University  in History & Economics. He was the disciple of Pandit Vishnu Digambar Paluskar but also learnt from a number of masters such as Mohammad Bashir Khan (of Aligarh), Sindhi Khan Baba, Vajid Hussain Khan (Sahasvan) and Bade Ghulam Ali Khan. His stock of compositions was so vast that he was one of the greatest music scholar of the country. In 1925, he founded the school the School of Indian Music which is, up to now,  the most well-known institution of Bombay. He taught a number of disciples  among which the famous Kumar Gandharva. He was invited to Banaras Hindu University (B.H.U.) to take over the Principalship of the Music College (later renamed Faculty of Performing Arts) after Omkarnath Thakur. His vast field of knowledge and activities - as an educationist, specialist of voice-culture, as Chief-Editor of the Sangeet Kala Vihar publication etc. have earned him many prestigious national awards ad a due recognition. I had the honor to meet him several times and to attend a full one-week lecture-demonstrations of his during which, despite an already advanced age, he was able to sing several hundreds compositions pertaining to the whole hindustani repertoire.

Bhimsen JoshiBhimsen Joshi is the son of Gurunath Joshi. After a turbulent adolescence, he became the disciple of Sawai Gandharva.

In my opinion, since the demise of the great masters like Bade Ghulam Ali, Abdul Karim Karim, Faiyaz Khan, Amir Khan Saheb and the like, he is the greatest vocalist of India today. He has an abundant discography. Do get the records !
