PEOPLE, Page 51Wicked Rise to Stardom
By SOPHFRONIA SCOTT/Reported by Wendy Cole
With the face of Ricky Nelson and a voice like Roy
Orbison's, a guy can't go wrong, right? Wrong. CHRIS ISAAK has
such qualities, but it took three albums to get them fully
appreciated. The pompadoured crooner's latest album, Heart
Shaped World, foundered before being tapped by director David
Lynch, who used a version of Isaak's song Wicked Game for the
sound track of his film Wild at Heart. That sparked disk jockeys
to play the original. Now even Bruce Springsteen wants tickets
to Isaak's concerts. But success has changed Isaak, 34. "I comb
my hair all the time now," he says, "and when I go out, I put
on a clean T shirt."
