The falsetto of Lou Christie soared across the country in 1966 when
his multi-million selling LIGHTNING STRIKES rocketed to #1. Almost thirty
years later, it remains a staple of classic rock stations.
Lou first
struck the charts at the age of 19 with the 1962 million-seller, THE GYPSY
CRIED, on Roulette Records. This was followed quickly with another Roulette
million-seller, TWO FACES HAVE I. These two smashes earned him an invitation
to join Dick Clark's "Caravan of Stars," which toured the United States
extensively.
LIGHTENING STRIKES came next, at the end of 1966, and was
followed by RHAPSODY IN THE RAIN, PAINTER, OUTSIDE THE GATES OF HEAVEN, BIG
TIME, and I'M GONNA MAKE YOU MINE, a hit in 1969.
Today, Lou tours extensively, appearing in concert halls, sports venues,
theaters, and at corporate functions. His last album, BEYOND THE BLUE HORIZON,
was released in 1994 on the Varese Sarabande label (distributed by MCA Records).
Songs from that record have been featured in several movies, including RAIN
MAN, A HOME OF THEIR OWN, and DUTCH.
