Tan Sri Datuk Amar Dr. P. Ramlee ,PSM, AMN,DA (Posthumous) (Sarawak) (22 March 1929–29 May 1973) was a Malaysian film actor, director, singer, and songwriter. Due to his contributions in the movie and music industry, as well as in the literary scene, he is often attributed as the icon of Malay entertainment in both Malaysia, Singapore as well as in Sumatra, Indonesia (especially in Acheh due to his ancestry).
Ramlee was born Teuku Zakaria bin Teuku Nyak Puteh to Teuku Nyak Puteh bin Teuku Karim and Che' Mah Hussein at his grandmother's house (now opened as P. Ramlee House) in Counter Hall (now renamed as Jalan P. Ramlee), Penang, Malaysia. His father Teuku Nyak Puteh was a sailor from Lhokseumawe in the province of Aceh, Indonesia.
As a child, he studied in several schools, including the famous Penang Free School. During his school days he was very active in sports, especially sepak takraw, badminton, and football.
P.Ramlee's big break came on 1 June 1948 when he was spotted by Tamil film director B. S. Rajhans. The director was impressed by Ramlee, and in 1949 he was cast in the film Nasib (Fate). Seven years later, Ramlee directed his first film Penarik Becha (The Trishaw Man). In 1957, Ramlee would act in the first of his Bujang Lapok (Dowdy Bachelors) comedic films that he acted along S. Shamsuddin along with Aziz Sattar, which are still popular among the modern Malay film watchers.
On 29 May 1973 P. Ramlee died at the age of 44 due to heart problems and was buried in Jalan Ampang Muslim Cemetery, Kuala Lumpur. In 1986, in honour of his contributions to the Malaysian entertainment industry, the P. Ramlee Memorial was set up in Setapak, Kuala Lumpur. In 1982, Jalan Parry in the KL city centre has been renamed Jalan P. Ramlee in his honor. He was posthumously awarded with the Malaysian honorific title Tan Sri in the early 1990s. Recently, he was also posthumously awarded the honorific title of 'Datuk Amar' by Sarawak State Government. Upon the conferment of the award, the Chief Minister of Sarawak, Pehin Sri Dr. Hj Abdul Taib Mahmud, who is an avid fan of P. Ramlee, later presented the award to his daughter, Dian P. Ramlee in a ceremony honoring veteran artistes in Kuching.

Lagu P Ramlee 'Do Re Mi'
Do Re Mi ......
Do re mi tiga orang sahabat
Berjumpa terus sepakat
Otak yang geliga sekarang dah tersumbat
Re do ti la so fa mi re do
Do re mi tiga bujang terlajak
Kerja semua tak layak
Jikalau begitu baik gunakan otak
Re do ti la so fa mi re do
Baik kita jadi tentera
Mengawal negara
Tentu kita tak diterima
Sebab kita bujang tua
Mari jadi tentera laut
Jerung aku takut
Baik jadi tentera udara
Alah tinggi sangat aku tak hendak
Do re mi apa kita nak jadi
Sabarlah sampai besok pagi
Mari pulang rumah kita bertemu ramah
Lapangkan hati jangan lemah
Penyanyi : P. Ramlee & A R Tompel & Ibrahim Din

Kejiwaanya Terhadap Seni
P Ramlee telah ditakdirkan lahir bersama darah seni yang pekat di dalam tubuhnya. Maka dengan itulah hakikat yang tidak boleh dinafikan dan ia menyerlah sejak beliau kecil lagi. Beliau mula mendekatkan diri dalam dunia seni ketika masih muda iaitu berusia 13 tahun. Antara instrument/alat muzik awal yang dipelajarinya ialah ukelele dan biola.
Di tembok-tembok tepian jalan, P Ramlee sering kali mengasah bakat dengan mendendangkan lagu-lagu merdu berirama langgam dan keroncong bersama rakan-rakannya. Dari situlah beliau mula mendapat undangan untuk menghibur para tetamu di majlis keramaian sekitar Pulau Pinang dan Radio Malaya.
Malah cintanya P Ramlee pada nyanyian dan muzik mengatasi pelajaran di sekolahnya. Perkara ini sememangnya diakui oleh guru yang pernah mendidiknya. Apabila menyanyi di majlis rasmi, P Ramlee sering ditemani kumpulan muzik seperti Pancaragam Teruna Sekampong dan Bintang Sore.
Kemerduan daripada vokalnya itu menjadi buah mulut orang kampung. Telah ramai yang ingin mengetahui latar belakangnya yang ketika itu masih kurus dan berjerawat.
Mungkin anda ternatnya-tanya bila pula P Ramlee mula memakai huruf "P" pada namanya?. Ia berlaku apabila beliau menyertai satu pertandingan nyanyian pada 1947. Sebenarnya huruf "P" itu adalah singkatan kepada nama ayahnya Puteh.
Lagu pertama yang dicipta oleh P Ramlee berjudul ‘Azizah’. Ia telah ditulis pada 1945 dan ditujukan khas buat gadis idamannya Azizah. P Ramlee pertama kali membawa lagu Azizah di khalayak ramai sewaktu menyertai Pesta Pertanian Ria di Bukit Mertajam pada Jun 1948.
Tanpa disedari, kemerduan suara beliau itu sampai ke pengetahuan pengarah filem terkenal di Singapura, BS Rajhans. Tawaran yang akhirnya mengubah keseluruhan nasibnya itu datang daripada Rajhans. Pengarah itu mengajak P Ramlee ke Singapura untuk bekerja di Studio Jalan Ampas (Malay Film Productions/MFP).Memikirkan ia peluang lumayan, pada Ogos 1948, P Ramlee pun berhijrah ke Singapura dengan membawa seribu satu impian dan harapan sebagai seorang seniman.
