He was very underestimated He is a great singer we will put them right in the line with Frank Sinatra

beautiful

This was at the end of Mike Douglas show and they had to kill some time so he gave the piano player a key to playing and they improvise this

A very pure voice. And his interpretation of the lyric is gorgeous. Big fan!

My favorite person and voice since I first heard him.

I never heard this song before. What a gem! Never would have heard it if it wasn’t for KZbin. Thank you for posting this beautiful song.

WOW, what a great voice!!

Here in England Softly (As I Leave You) was a hit for Matt Monro. Lou does a commendable version here.

First time seeing this . Love it !! 🥰❤️❤️

A rabbit hole led me here and glad it did. Lou was a tremendous talent. What a gem!

Great voice for ballads. Yes, I agree, I think with a little more rehearsal this would have been a big hit for him, but if Sinatra had just recorded it I'm sure there would be no way.

You should hear Lou sing "O Holy Night"

I also noticed he seems rather shy here, nerves perhaps, as later appearances show a more hearty and extroverted and dynamic personality.

He's pattering his singing after the singers from the previous generation, a wise choice on his part. He was well-aware that the voice in LIGHTNING STRIKES can not be the same as in this number where he doesn't dip up into falsetto range of which he is famed. Nice presentation with a more internalized, gentle, and otherworldly quality which proves his versatility.

There's a certain sweetness to him which he put to good use in this song.

At least he doesn't blast away and can sing soft in addition to loud.

How old was he there? Extremely boyish looking and involved within the song though I note stage fright and shyness. To think in a few short years that he was more at ease.

There's no falsetto to be found here.

He takes the 'softly' literally. This is a very sensitive rendition and he seems to be really into it. His sad demeanor such as the lowering and closing eyes movements do show quite a contrast as Mike Douglas says as this song is the opposite of Lightning Strikes, Rhapsody In The Rain, etc.

How young he looks. He seems rather nervous here. His voice is not fully developed as it was to become.

❣What A Beautiful Voice ❤‍🩹🌹🎤🎶🎵

Lou Christie voted "most kissable lips""💋

The best.. Lou..you r the man.. brilliant composer, singer

Hatte Lou Christie jemals Gesangsunterricht ? Er kann seine Stimme grossartig modulieren. Bravo

Lou Christie is an original and a talent unlike any other. God bless him.

Lou always Great!!

Bravo, Lou, Bravo.

Incredibly talented Lou Christie. Omg, how beautiful you sound. Love this.

Enjoying in 2020 during this crazy shut in time! Thanks Lou !

He should have released it, it would have been a hit!

I read in an interview that Lou was briefly pushed into singing standards by his manager after the success of Lightning Strikes. Sounds great and pretty cool that it was captured on film. Lou is one of the greatest rock/pop vocalists of all time!

Beautiful. Is he wearing a hair piece?

Wow what a great performance by lou

Move over Frank. Lou nailed it.

Very impressive, demonstrating his versatility!

He's sensational!

A great show! Great music and enjoy the background stories!

Mr. Christie’s career should have been much much bigger than it was. A great singer he is.

A reminder that outside the pop bubble-gum hits, he is an incredibly talented singer.

Beautiful Lou...

Beautiful song with a heartbreaking back story of the song's meaning.
