Luigi Alfredo Giovanni Sacco (born February 19, 1943), known professionally by his stage name Lou Christie, is an American pop and soft rock singer-songwriter known for several hits in the 1960s, including his 1966 US chart-topper "Lightnin' Strikes" and 1969 UK number-two "I'm Gonna Make You Mine".
"Lightnin' Strikes" is a song written by Lou Christie and Twyla Herbert, and recorded by Christie on the MGM label. It was a hit in 1966, making it first to No. 1 in Canada in January 1966 on the RPM Top Singles chart, [1] then to No. 1 in the U.S. on the Billboard Hot 100 in February, No. 3 on the New Zealand Listener chart in May, [2] and No. 11 on the UK Record Retailer chart.
"Rhapsody in the Rain" is a song written by Twyla Herbert and Lou Christie and performed by Christie with backing vocals by The Delicates. It reached No. 10 on Canada's RPM 100, [1] No. 16 on the Billboard Hot 100, [2] No. 37 on the UK's Record Retailer chart, [3] and No. 40 in Australia in 1966.
Lynn Van Matre of the Chicago Tribune writes, "One of the big songs of 1966 was Christie's "Lightnin' Strikes", which sold more than a million copies, reached the No. 1 pop single spot, and now serves as the inspiration for the play-on-words title of a new CD collection of the singer-songwriter's vintage hits."
MGM moved successfully into the rock and roll era with many hit records by Connie Francis, Herman's Hermits, the Animals, the Cowsills, Lou Christie, the Osmonds, and Cub-subsidiary singer Jimmy Jones, whose hits were on MGM in the UK.
