A self-taught musician, Ron- nie Prophet has a chromium-plated nightclub and concert act that has brought him dates at the Sands, Las Vegas; Harrah's in Reno; the Blue Max in Chicago and the Palomino in Hollywood. Prophet's first US album release occured in 1976, the LP containing such tracks as "Shine On", "San- ctuary", and "It's Enough", all hit singles in Canada. An all round entertainer, he provides impressions and spices his country repertoire with instrumental work-outs on such unlikely material as "Malaguena" and "The Third Man Themë".
