When Did Lou Christie Lightnin Strikes Again Come Out

Gretsch&Vox

This rendition actually rocks. Groovy guitar (love the Wah Wah) and drum playing. And the backup singers are cute every bit buttons. I like it much better than the studio version.

Clydie Male monarch with the long hair. Absurd clip

Gretsch&Vox

Thanks.

Not a not bad singer, sort of a poor man's Frankie Vallee.

I like the studio version better. I tin can meet Meatloaf and Jim Steinman existence inspired past information technology in some way.

When I was immature, I could do a extravaganza falsetto and I choose to humiliate this song and aggravate my friends who disliked it as much equally I did.Good song and all, but non appreciated past this rocker who was more into the Beatles, Cream, Stones, Bowie,etc at the time. This was bubblegum music and the next song on would have been Yummy, Yummy, Yummy. I changed the channel the second I recogonized what the song was. I'd be asked why plow it off you don't know what it is and I would tell them what it was and prove information technology going back to the station.

Oh my goodness, one of those weird songs similar The Lemon Pipers' Green Tambourine that are only strangely haunting, you need to hear 'em once in awhile but thankfully they're not indicative of your unabridged playlist.

It never occurred to me until a couple of years agone that it was misogynystic, if not, you know, actually about rape, merely somehow the other party's stance on matters is never really made clear.

It also never occurred to me that it's a Four Seasons pastiche, I love the backing vocals.

This is the but affair I think of when I hear LS by LC:

radicool

That tune reminds me of being a kid, delivering newspapers. (think those?)

Back then I had my transistor radio with me at every waking moment that I wasn't in schoolhouse; and when that song was a hit I heard information technology several times every day.

Remember "Young Girl (Go Out of My Heed)"? Hoofah!

Chrome Dinette

He is from around here(PGH), but I idea mostly worked in Europe over the past few decades.

I supplied PA for an oldies festival maybe 15-twenty years ago and he did a bizarre cover of Looking For The Heart Of Sat Night(Tom Waits).

Lugee Alfredo Giovanni

Squeezed a long run out of Lightnin' Strikes {1965}. I saw him the Pocono's in 1975
in i of those 60'south Revival Shows.
He could still sing, but he was 'Zoned Out' in space. Pharmaceuticals.

Somewhere I read somebody wrote a three volume biography of Lou Christie. Imagine that...

talentless hack

Skillful falsetto, but everything else seems banal and blase. Maybe he should take gone the Barry Gibb route?

Christie sounds much better on The Gypsy Cried, and he's pretty much in falsetto mode throughout that runway.

Thanks, Jay...nice prune from the seventy'south. Reminds me of when Del Shannon was on Letterman doing "Delinquent." When in the falsetto mode, Shannon looked upwardly at Paul Shaffer with that "See, I still got information technology going" look.

Nothing wrong with pop music. This is a good tricky vocal, and could be part of the Bee Gee'due south catalog.

For all of you who are too "cool" to appreciate it... Let'due south hear your #ane hit.

Oh my goodness, one of those weird songs like The Lemon Pipers' Greenish Tambourine that are just strangely haunting, you need to hear 'em in one case in awhile merely thankfully they're not indicative of your entire playlist.

It also never occurred to me that it's a 4 Seasons pastiche, I love the backing vocals.

i. Aye, off-center singles like this are the best. Slap-up, great records, especially "The Gypsy Cried".
2. Anyone who even uses the discussion "misogynistic" should be napalmed. Evil people ain your brain.
3. The Four Seasons was a vocal group, New Bailiwick of jersey guys doing doo-wop. Christie was a vocalist with girls behind him. Information technology'south not quite the aforementioned thing.

Grenville

1) I dear the song
two) Please don't napalm me. The song is certainly most a guy with daughter-issues, and creepy. "Hey, I want to marry y'all, but in the meantime if I see a daughter I like the expect of, chances are I tin't keep it in my pants" isn't respectful talk to me, YMMV, every bit they say. My brain is my own, ta.
3) The 4 Seasons comment was in response to post #4, as I said, it didn't occur to me. As an Aussie I'chiliad not terribly au fait with Usa urban-folk idioms such equally doo-wop, but I exercise hear a Valli-type voice and responding vocals every bit opposed to straight harmony. Whatever, to me it's irresistible, odd popular music and I take it on my own playlist.
