Lou Christie was one of those voices you never forget — and boy, could he hit those high notes.
If you grew up in the 1960s, chances are you remember him not just for his chart-topping falsetto, but also for being quite the heartthrob back in the day.
Born Lugee Alfredo Giovanni Sacco in Glenwillard, Pennsylvania, he got his start singing in a church choir before transforming into Lou Christie — a name that
would soon be lighting up the pop charts. His breakthrough came in 1963 with “The Gypsy Cried,” and he followed it up with “Two Faces Have I.”
