ENCORE TRIBUTE PRESENTATION: Lou Christie - '60s Star: "Lightning Strikes", "The Gypsy Cried", "Two Faces Have I", "Rhapsody In The Rain" And More!
This is an ENCORE TRIBUTE PRESENTATION of my February 2024 interview with the great Lou Christie, who passed away last week at 82. Lou was a Hit Machine in the 1960s with his distinctive falsetto voice and songs like “Lightnin’ Strikes” (a #1 smash), “The Gypsy Cried”, “Two Faces Have I”, “Rhapsody In The Rain”, and More. He was featured in Dick Clark’s Cavalcade Of Stars and on all the major music television shows including Where The Action Is, Hullabaloo and American Bandstand.
My featured song is “My Baby”. Spotify link.
