(461) LOU CHRISTIE : FROM DOO WOP TO LIGHTENING STRIKES
LOU CHRISTIE Official Web Site
Christine here : Frankie Valli with the Four Seasons wasn't the only singer hitting the high notes and the charts. But there must be something about Italians in the Eastern United States. Lou grew up in the Pittsburgh area and was once a member of the University of Pittsburgh Glee Club. Doo Wop required a full range of voices or ranges of voice to create that harmonious blend and though Lou will be the first to tell you that he kind of got stuck hitting those high notes - because he could - he has a full range and came out of the Doo Wop. (Try not to confuse Lou Christie with the New Christie Minstrels, the folk group that launched the career of Gene Clark of the Byrds, and several others.)
Today Lou lives in the Palm Springs area where he is active singing for his special cause - Brain Injured Veterans of the United States.
