Important Works
Vigen's unassuming charm and his warm voice played a major role in ensuring him continued success and many of his songs became iconic among Iran's most notable folk music. He was consistently voted the most popular singer and songwriter of the country by an overwhelming majority of Iranians. Among his notable songs are "Baroon Barooneh" (it's drizzling), "Asbeh Ablagh" (thoroughbred horse), "Mahtab" (Moonlight), Lala'ee (Lullaby), and "Deleh Divaneh" (crazy heart.)
After the Islamic Revolution of 1978, Vigen immigrated to the United States and settled in California, where he and many expatriate Iranian performers continued their artistic works. He celebrated the 50th anniversary of his career at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles in February 2001.

“We do not fear censorship for we have no wish to offend with improprieties or obscenities, but we do demand, as a right, the liberty to show the dark side of wrong, that we may illuminate the bright side of virtue—the same liberty that is conceded to the art of the written word, that art to which we owe the Bible and the works of Shakespeare.”
—D.W. (David Wark)
