Persian Rock-Out… on YouTube
I’m on a big Vigen kick lately (it’s also spelled “Viguen,” in case you want to search for his clips on iTunes). He was called the “Sultan of Jazz” and was sort of the Elvis of Iran, and I was pretty stoked to meet him twice in LA (once after he performed and once in church, of all places) before he died in 2003.
Anyway, I’ve been poking around on YouTube and have found a TON of Vigen videos among those of other 60s and 70s Iranian pop stars. This old-skool gem should not be missed:
Sis, this clip is hilarious. I never expected him to have dark hair; I guess it’s because I saw him when he was old… when he had super, shiny silver hair.
