Lester Vigon

[Nick Soule]

Anyone else a fan? Kind of rips off everyone elses songs (especially Bob & Earl), but at least he does a great job imo.

My favorite: although his cover of The Spoiler is a close 2nd

Souleful, I'd never heard "Nobody home". I saw it was from 76.

Vigon -born Abdelghafour Mouhsine in Rabat, Maroc- had some quality stuff released during the period 65-72. At the time there were mostly 45 (EP's & singles), but he got one LP "Greatest hits". Here's the French edition :

It was also released in Germany :

Here's a clip of "Harlem Shuffle" : Vigon

Now he's 62 and he's still active in Paris !

Good call...great track, and ironic that it sounds more 'Mirwood' than Bob & Earl's original version!

I agree... its a fab track... not sure about it sounding more Mirwood than Bob and Earl's version though.

But what do I know anyway hey Flynny.

Hope you're ok

Yeah, I've got that one too on Egg, I think. I've played it a few times. One of his best tracks, but his Eddie Purrell cover is his best Northern track imo.

I got the French Lp last year, I rate his version 'baby your time is my time' and his version of the 'woo-woo' song is also good.
