HIS VOICE IS ONE OF A KIND!!! LOU CHRISTIE - TWO FACES HAVE I (REACTION)

[@cstony111]

Yes Lighting Strikes is another good Lou Christie song.

[@hisokamorow3756]

One of the nost underated singers, songwriter ever. This man is a legend. Was it mentioned that he was Diana Ross boyfriend for a minute? Check out more of his music. You Rock, rayray ✊✌️🤙🤘

[@dagmar.6954]

Lou Christie is another teenage heartthrob from the 60's. He was known for being able to sing in a high falsetto voice. He had quite a few hits such as "Lightnin' Strikes", "I'm Gonna Make You Mine", "Two Faces Have I", "The Gypsy Cried" & "Rhapsody In The Rain" etc.

[@pattiehernandez769]

the uncensored version of " rhapsody in the rain " is my favorite...

[@TheDollyLady]

He is still singing at 80 years old. Love him always!

[@juliethompson5160]

More Lou Christie? Lightning Strikes, The Gypsy Cried, Rhapsody in the Rain, and I'm Gonna Make You Mine are some good next steps.

[@barbaramatthews696]

Lou Christie has the most unique voice ever

[@jarmyvicious]

Lou is awesome@ ....another of his that hardly ever gets mentioned; "Have I Sinned"....of which there are at least two studio versions, both have their own merits!

[@vernabryant2894]

I had forgotten about these great songs.Brings back a lot of happy memories from my childhood.

[@ajruther67]

I was hoping it was Lightning Strikes by Lou Christie, darn it but this song is good too. The only other person that sang similar to Frankie Valli. They always amazed me how they sang.

[@autumnamber6849]

I forgot that one, I remebered Gypsy Cried.

[@georgemusic4all4seasons]

Lou Christie is an excellent singer but Frankie Valli is so much more versatile as a singer due to being able to go from angel sounding falsetto to Christies type of falsetto, and then to a street sounding growl. Let’s not forget Valli’s style on Cant Take My Eyes Off You, & Swearing to God.

[@robhaunui8892]

There was Jay Black from Jay and The Americans,Roy Orbison as well who could also handle these vocal histrionics.

[@patticrichton1135]

[@abrahamnajera3984]

I'm gonna make you mine is great too

[@jomiiller6297]

Lou Christie way ahead of his time

[@deborahcornell171]

Anyone remember the "Dick Clark Caravan of Stars"? In the mid-60's several bestselling artists would tour together. They swept through my town twice with everyone from Lou Christie to Paul Revere & the Raiders. One night my dad ran into the performers at a restaurant. He got several autographs for me, including Lou's. My 12 year old self was even more excited that he got me George Harrison's sister's autograph! This was at the height of Beatlemania & her part of the show was just to answer questions from the audience about The Beatles. Those were great times.💙☮💙

[@corinecabrera7975]

I love all Lou Christie songs, I love the way he can change his voice so quickly from high to low that is talent!

[@shiannamariestentt]

This is the only song from him that I've ever heard. It's one of my personal favorites to listen to. And I'm learning it so I can sing it on my channel one day.

[@brandonflorida1092]

Whoever is advising you about which old songs to pick is doing a phenomenal job. You're helping to let a new generation learn about classic rock. These videos are not just good, they're important.

[@bonnibobb1628]

Finally! Someone got around to Lou Christie. I never could decide which was my favorite; "Two Faces Have I" or "Lightnin' Strikes". So glad you decided to react to him.

[@musicairplanes4884]

There was Lou Christie, Gene Pitney and Frankie Valle. High falsetto.

[@lajas46]

You can't forget Larry Henley of THE NEWBEATS Run Baby Run and Bread and Butter

[@jackpeters9048]

He had a great sound.....Lightning strikes was my favorite....

[@54nomore]

This song "Two Faces Have I" charted #6 in 1963 for Lou Christie. He had one of the highest pitch voices back in the 60's. He along with Frankie Valli and Edde Holman had high pitch voices during this period of the 60's. His biggest hit would come in 1965 after his two-year stint in the Army from 1963 to 1965. It would become his signature song titled "Lighting Striking Again." This monster hit first charted at #93 on billboard. And on February 19, 1966, which is Lou's 23rd birthday, it will hit #1. The rest as they say is history.

[@larryhalbrook6874]

Lou Christi was one of my favorite singers in the 60s. His first big hit was "The Gypsy Cried" and then he came out with "Two Faces Have I". This was in 1962. Love your reaction!

[@petesacco3255]

This is considered to be the first hit song that was a reggae influenced and this is 1962

[@robinbowles5731]

Fun fact, VERY fun fact, Lou Christie was so famously well endowed that the color and cut of his costumes had to be taken into consideration based on the venue and media so the audience wouldn't be so focused on you know where...be that as it may, he had(s) a spectacular voice and remains quite handsome as he approaches 80.

[@ryanheisey7719]

The Gypsy Cried, Lightning Strikes, and Rhapsody in the Rain were his greatest ones hes from Pittsburgh, Pa which is an hour and a half south of me. Previous to his solo career starting in '62 he has 2 doo wop groups of which was using his actual first name Lugee and the Lions. Lou was known for have that falsetto that could hit a 3 octave range.

[@ericgerena6042]

Lou Christie ,great oldy from the 60's, another great by him is The Gypsy Cried. Got to see him at a place in Florida called Little Darling's.Still sounded the same after 20 odd years.👍👍💯❤️

[@carollittle1059]

Yea!,the 60's

[@lrestrada1]

Damm I haven't heard that song since my East LA days wow what classic oldies rule for ever it brought back memories thank you sharing

[@Haziesmom2023]

Lovin' my Lou Christie!!! More, More!! We dated to Lou's Music 56 years ago. It worked! We were married 53 years! :D

[@johnlargan6045]

Lou Christie has an awesome voice! He truly is an original. Another great couple of songs of his are "Crying In The Streets" and "Guitars and Bongoes!

[@maajorkv]

I loved this from the very 1st time I heard it back in the early 1960's.

[@caroleathenacosta-songwrit9193]

Come Christmas time, you need to hear Lou Christie's version of "Oh Holy Night." It is transcendent!

[@davidlionheart2438]

Awesome reaction, as usual. I love Lou Christie! I want to strongly urge you to try "How Do You Do?" by Mouth And MacNeal, a huge 1972 hit. I think you'd love it!

[@odiebryer2144]

Loving ❤ me some Lou Christie! Lightning Strikes is my all-time favorite of his and one of my very favorites of all-time! I was in junior high school and high school when he was on the radio and I remember these songs like I just heard them last week! Ha ha ha! 😂

[@mamb70]

Finally someone reacted to this great singer. Lightning Strikes and Rhapsody in the Rain are very good. Very sweet in early 60s. Came back in 1969 with I'm Gonna Make you Mine. Really appreciate yr reaction!

[@bpaq9349]

Where are you guys finding all these old favorites from my teen days? Thanks for jogging my memories 🥰

[@johnphillips5343]

love you guys are awesome god bless both of you and your familia 100%

[@tuxtommy69]

NOBODY could sing the teenage angst songs like Lou! Packed with emotion he sang of experiences we ALL went through at one time or another! When "The Gypsy Cried", I would cry right along with the raw emotion of the moment!

[@mrburns1203]

Seen Him perform several times. Never disappoints. Great Performer!

[@johnchamberlain4225]

I saw Lou Christie a few years back at a big doo wop show, He still has the voice!

[@autumnamber6849]

YES! A unique voice. The gypsy cried is another and I love that even more. Mary Wells sang I have two lovers.

[@jvsmith7888]

Wow, I never thought I'd see anyone react to Lou Christie but I'm so glad you did. His handful of hits are great as well as fun, and you can't help yourself, everyone tries to sing along with songs like this one. Other Lou Christie hits include "LIghtnin' Strikes", Rhapsody in the Rain" and "I'm Gonna Make You Mine."

[@jeanettesmith765]

I was so in love with Lou when I was a teen! Love his falsetto. Can you do Lightning Strikes and a live performance?

[@bcojr1074]

Lighting Strikes Again is a must.

[@crashcorrigan9733]

Yes, boys and girls, both voices are his very own. Fantastic song. Thank You.

[@rosesutton4424]

My favorite one Lou Christie did was The Gypsy Cried... It was a big hit for him...

[@BillyEllis-yd1tm]

His song..The Gypsy cried....great song...you should listen..

[@luckylady7542]

Interesting fact about Lou, in High School he sang bass in a group. He has a 4 octave voice range. His HS music teacher wanted him to be classically trained, but he said no, he was going to make a record and be on American Bandstand. And he did. Huge teen heartthrob in the 60s.

[@allan6977]

Wouldn't it have been magical to have had Lou Christie and Frankie Vallie do a duet?

[@stephenulmer3781]

"Bread and Butter" is another song with a guy singing in a high pitched falsetto its by The Newbeats(1964) ☺

[@patticrichton1135]

I definitely relate to this especially now in this time in my life. But I loved all Lou's songs since they came out when I was a teenager.

You are wrong it was Rhapsody In The Rain that was banned

[@gwengirtman1239]

@@petesacco3255 You are absolutely right. To me the songs are so similar I’ve often confused the titles. I wasn’t exactly a big fan of his. Thank you for the correction.

You have great taste in music........and when you say " by Lou Christie" we know what you mean...BUT Lou wrote almost all his hits with writing partner Twyla Herbert ,but "I'm Gonna make you mine " was written by Tony Romeo ,who would shortly after write " I think I Love You " ,which of course was recorded by singers/ musicians posing as the Partridge Family

[@cdfdesantis699]

One can picture teenagers crowding into the malt shop after school, & playing this one on the jukebox.

[@alanheath7867]

I actually got the chance to see him in an oldies show. This was back in the mid 80’s and the man still had a set of pipes. He sounded as good as he did when he started. He was great and the entire show was great. We were seated in the roadies section in the theater and that made it even better. We ( mostly the others around us) gave the performers what for if it was lousy and cheers louder than the rest of the theater put to get her. There were only 14 of us total. Leslie Gore was on the tour too, and she got an earful from the entire theater. She did only 2 of her songs everyone came to hear. She was trying to push two new songs she was releasing, but she was drown off the stage by boos! She was po’d but you do what people come to see. The rest of the show was exactly what we all paid for. Except for her, the show was great.
