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.

Famous quotes containing the words important and/or works:
“I think the most important education that we have is the education which now I am glad to say is being accepted as the proper one, and one which ought to be widely diffused, that industrial, vocational education which puts young men and women in a position from which they can by their own efforts work themselves to independence.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“Piety practised in solitude, like the flower that blooms in the desert, may give its fragrance to the winds of heaven, and delight those unbodied spirits that survey the works of God and the actions of men; but it bestows no assistance upon earthly beings, and however free from taints of impurity, yet wants the sacred splendour of beneficence.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
