Lou Christie Artist Snapshot:

Best known as the helium-voiced singer responsible for such mid-1960s pop hits as "Lightning Strikes," "The Gypsy Cried," and "Two Faces Have I," Lou Christie was the Roy Orbison of the teen-idol set, delivering a briefly successful combo of stratospheric singing and over-the-top musical melodrama (and significantly, writing his own material with songwriting partner Twyla Hybert). Though he would continue recording for many years, Christie's string of hits ran out at the end of the '60s, and he subsequently became a fixture on the oldies touring circuit.

Title Note

Producers include: Nick Cenci, Charles Calello, George Goldner, Jack Nitzsche, Stan Vincent.

Compilation producer: Bill Inglot.

Tracks recorded between 1962 and 1969. Includes liner notes by Harry Young.

Lou Christie only had about a half-dozen great songs to his name, which is still a better average than most pop singers. And what a singer he was, putting that freaky falsetto to its ultimate use on the glorious "Lightnin' Strikes," the ultimate chart-buster of 1965! "Lightnin' Strikes " was co-written by Christie's Pittsburgh mentor and muse, the bohemian songwriter-composer Twyla Herbert, who also co-wrote his early falsetto-driven hits, "The Gypsy Cried" and "Two Faces Have I." They then collaborated on the even more sexually ecstatic "Rhapsody In The Rain," which needed a word change from the too physical "making out in the rain" to the ostensibly more demure "making love." (The good folks at Rhino have restored the original version.) Christie had to wait untill 1969 for his last hit, "I'm Gonna Make you Mine," to be covered by Alex Chilton and also included on this definitive, great-sounding collection.
