==Early life==
She was born on 24 February 1932 to Madurai Satagopan and T. V. Rajasundari who herself was a singer and stage artist. Rajeswari was introduced to film singing by family friend [[B. R. Panthulu]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENQ5tj6-VuU|title=TAMIL RARE M.S. RAJESWARI SONG|author=Murugeshan Karunakaran (comment)|website=[[YouTube]] |date=26 April 2018 |accessdate=26 April 2018}}</ref>

==Career life==
She started her career in [[AVM Studios]] where she was one of the resident playback singers along with T. S. Bagavathi. Her very first song was ''Maiyal Migavum Meerudhe'' in the film [[Vijayalakshmi (film)|Vijayalakshmi]] produced by Pragathi Pictures, the forerunner to [[AVM Studios]]. During the 1940s, she sang for almost all the films produced by AVM before continuing her work independently. In later years, she was a popular voice for child artists.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thehindu.com/features/cinema/vazhkai-1949/article3509383.ece
|title=Vazhkai 1949 – The Hindu|website=[[The Hindu]] |date=9 June 2012 }}</ref>

She rendered songs which consist of solos and duets in all of the [[AVM Studios]] early productions such as [[Naam Iruvar (1947 film)|Nam Iruvar]], [[Ram Rajya (1943 film)|Rama Rajyam]], [[Vedhala Ulagam]], [[Vaazhkai (1949 film)|Vazhkai]], [[Jeevitham (1950 film)|Jeevitham]], [[Or Iravu]], [[Parasakthi (1952 film)|Parasakthi]], [[Gunasagari]], [[Penn (film)|Penn]] and [[Chella Pillai]].

She sang more often in the 1940s and 1950s compared to her work during the 1960s to 1990s. During the later half, she was only sought in songs that voice needed for small children.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://movies.ndtv.com/regional/jayalalithaa-felicitates-tamil-film-legends-at-indian-cinema-centenary-celebrations-635326|title=Jayalalithaa felicitates Tamil film legends at Indian cinema centenary ... |work=NDTVMovies.com |date=22 September 2013 }}</ref> Films such as [[Kaveriyin Kanavan]], [[Kaithi Kannayiram]] and [[Engal Selvi]] are the earlier ones where she recorded her voice for child artists. Since 1964 till the 1990s she was only sought for playback for child artists.

She was the first playback singer for [[Kamal Haasan]] for the song ''Ammaavum Neeye Appaavum Neeye'' in [[Kalathur Kannamma]] when she was offered by [[AVM Studios]] after a break.

Rajeswari had recorded many songs for Baby [[Shamili]]. Her voice suits the best when Shamili was a child artist in [[Durga (1990 film)|Dhurga]], [[Durga (1990 film)|Lakshmi Dhurga]], Bhairavi, [[Sendhoora Devi]], Sindhoora Devi, Thai Poosam, Sivasangkari, Dheiva Kuzhandhai and Sivarathiri.

=== Music composers she sang for ===
She started her career in [[AVM Studios]] under [[R. Sudarsanam]]’s music. Later, many of her songs are under [[K. V. Mahadevan]]'s music direction. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, [[Shankar–Ganesh]] engaged her often.
