Dennis DeYoung is better known as the voice behind some of Styx's biggest hits, including "The Best of Times", "Renegade", & "Mr. Roboto". After 1983's "Kilroy Was Here", DeYoung decided he wanted to try a solo record. "Desert Moon", the title tune from his solo debut, is also his only solo top 40 hit to date. In the years since, DeYoung has been on Broadway, and continues to play his Styx classics with his own band, while Styx carries on with Tommy Shaw doing most of the singing.
As with a lot of artists these days, DeYoung has a VEVO channel devoted to him, from whence we present, "Desert Moon".
While the video doesn't illustrate the entire story, it does show that Dennis could act, leading to his transition to Broadway and appearing as Pilate in a production of "Jesus Christ Superstar". I saw him live on a solo tour in Albany a few years ago, and he's still got the skills.
