My wife and I went crazy over the song, and I immediately suggested that a female voice must sing it. He picked up his box guitar and sang 'Dilhani' whilst four months old Dilhani slept soundly, little realising that Clarence was singing her praises. It is my way of showing how grateful I am to you both and the family.' I composed this song last night which I hope you will like. 'Mr and Mrs Corea, I don't know how I can thank you both and repay you for all what you are doing for me. One day, Clarence came home quite excited and wanted me and my wife to listen to his latest composition вЂ“ done overnight. Music was never a source of disturbance to either of them, and they grew up to be very musical and die-hard fans of Uncle Clarence and Uncle Annesley. Whenever we had practices my wife kept our four months old daughter on the divan and kept the older one with her. I made it clear to him that my house was always open to him to use for his practices and the front room was readily made available to him at all times. Initially, Clarence did not expect me to do so much for him, and there were times when he felt somewhat reluctant to take advantage. He did not think this was possible and when it did happen, he was not ready to face the fame, the glitter and the glamour that went with it. When he laughed in disbelief, I repeated, not mincing my words, that I would make him famous through the length and breadth of the country. I told him just one thing-if he would follow my advice I would make him a household word. But Clarence never in his wildest dreams imagined that he would be a legend.ДЄfter the first few practices I told him that he must think of starting a group, and that he must take his practices very seriously.

When I heard some of his compositions I knew for sure that he had all the makings of a super star. (L-R) The Corea sisters, Dilhani, Ramani and Sharmini.When I agreed to take Clarence Wijeewardena under my wing and launch him into the world of music it was just two people coming together with a common objective. Dilhani remembers she was the subject of an all time hit.
