Lou Christie (born Lugee Alfredo Giovanni Sacco on February 19, 1943 in Glenwillard, Pennsylvania) is an American singer-songwriter best known for a string of pop hits in the 1960s.Raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Sacco traveled to New York City after graduating from Moon Area High School and found work as a session vocalist. He also recorded a few unsuccessful discs of his own for various labels in both New York and Pittsburgh. One of his singles, "The Gypsy Cried" was released on the tiny C&C label and credited to "Lou Christie" without Sacco's permission or consent. (He has stated that he hated the name for decades afterward.) It features the vocal style that would categorize all of Christie's biggest hits: verses sung in his normal register and then a dramatic shift to his falsetto on the choruses. After the C&C release became a hit in his home town of Pittsburgh, the song was picked up by Roulette Records and charted nationwide, peaking at #24. "The Gypsy Cried" was the first of numerous songs Christie co-wrote with his songwriting partner Twyla Herbert, a self-described eccentric and mystic, who was over 20 years older than Lou but also shared his love of classical music.His follow-up single "Two Faces Have I" was an even bigger hit, peaking at #6, as Christie joined Dick Clark's Caravan of Stars Tour. On that tour, he was reportly linked in an interracial romance with Diana Ross of The Supremes. A third Roulette release, "How Many Teardrops" stalled at #46 as Christie's career was temporarily derailed by his induction into the US Army.Already, Christie was frequently, if unfairly, written off by critics as an imitator of Frankie Valli as both men possessed similar falsetto vocals, and the ability to change almost effortlessly between it and their normal registers. Later reviewers have been less harsh, noting that Christie was one of the first singer-songwriters of the era, a move that John Lennon would later acknowledge as influential. While a stint in the military might have ended the careers of many musicians, Lou's career would quickly be re-established after his discharge from the military, when he signed on with the MGM label."Lightnin' Strikes", his first release after his discharge would go to #1 in the US in early 1966, and also climbed into the U.K. top 20, becoming his first hit in that country. The song's provocative lyrics featured his signature falsetto and included a female chorus shouting Stop!, which suggested to some an unwanted sexual advance:But whatever controversy Lightnin' Strikes caused paled in comparison to the firestorm brought on by the lyrics of his next release: "Rhapsody In The Rain"
