Poor boy - TARX 1012

Johnny De'Vigne

New York recording artist De'Vigne was a tough hard singer, really gritty and low down. Judging by his discs that I know he definitely came from the bluesier side of town – just listen to the way he roars through ListenPoor Boy”, full of fire and pain. His performance on ListenThings Ain’t The Same” is even better, becoming almost hoarse as he screams out his frustrations. Both these sides feature strong guitar parts giving more credence to his R & B roots. Johnny De’Vigne certainly didn’t become a star but his vocal prowess warrants a lot more notice than he’s been given.
