Lou Christie Passes Away at 82

 

Cousin Brucie with Lou Christie

It has been a tough month for oldies artists, as Lou Christie is the third singer to pass away.  Cousin Brucie interviewed Lou several times over the years on SiriusXM and WABC.  I am sure the Cuz was devastated when he heard the news.

Lou had several hits, including:

• Lightning Strikes
• The Gypsy Cried
• Rhapsody in the Rain
• I'm Going to Make You Mine
• Two Faces Have I

I always remember how Lightning Strikes moved up the chart so quickly in late 1965.
