Vigen Derderian
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vigen Derderian (November 23 1929-October 26, 2003), known as "Soltan of Pop", was a hugely popular Armenian-Iranian pop music singer. He is famous throughout the Near East.
In that era, every Iranian artist wanted to be associated with him, among them the country's most established top female singers, Delkash and Elaheh. He worked with the best songwriters and composers, who realised they had to cater for a new youth market, and performed some of his country's most memorable songs.[1]
On his passing in 2003, Vigen Derderian was interred in the Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery in Los Angeles, California. [2]
