Chanteur
Country Canadian né Orval William Prophet, le 31 Août 1922 à Edwards (Ontario). Orval Prophet est
décédé le 4 Janvier 1984.
Hailing
from eastern Ontario, Orval Prophet was known as "the Canadian Ploughboy." He
journeyed south long enough to make his impact on country and western music in
the early fifties, then retreated back home to claim his place as a local legend.
The beginning of the big time came in 1951 when he signed a contract with Decca
Nashville and recorded several songs for the label, including one that became a
big Canadian hit, "Judgement Day Express." After a period of time back in
Canada, Prophet returned to Nashville, changed his stage name to Johnny Six, and
recorded another two singles in 1957, one of which was "Mademoiselle," which
became a big hit in Canada and a minor hit in the U.S.. It, unfortunately, would
be his last hit and when he returned to Canada the second time, it marked the
end of his recording career.
