Born in 1921 in the Darjipara area of north Kolkata Ramkumar hailed from a strong musical background as his grandfather himself was a classical singer who wanted young Ramkumar to learn tabla as it would help him to develop an ear for musical notation. Jotin Chatterjee noted classical singer of Bishnupur Gharana after noticing young Ramkumar playing he requested his grandfather to teach him music. However, the prized moment came later when he got an opportunity to accompany Kazi Nazrul Islam during a public meeting held by Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose at Hedua in north Kolkata. Ramkumar learned Tappa from Jitendranath Bandopadhay popularly called Kolobabu.
Ramkumar was the one who popularized the genre of Bengali Baithaki songs. He also had a special place in singing in the baithaki gaan prevalent during the babudom in old Bengal. He was in true sense Bengali traditional music personified, hence, Bangla Puratoni Gaan and Ramkumar Chattopadhyay have become synonymous.
