I saw Lou Christie sing this the year it was a hit, 1966. I was 12 & went to see "Dick Clark's Caravan of Stars" (anybody remember that?). It was a whole lineup of people with hits touring the country, Lou, Paul Revere & The Raiders (took some great pics of them), Peter & Gordon etc. It was the height of Beatlemania & George Harrison's sister was with them. She didn't sing, she simply came out & answered questions about her brother & his bandmates while us teenyboppers sighed & squealed almost as if John, Paul, George & Ringo were there. That night my dad & some friends went out for a late supper at a local restaurant & several artists from the show came in. My dad always carried a small notebook with him & he went over & asked for autographs for me. So now I still have that little notebook with signatures & best wishes from Lou & others AND Louise Harrison. And I've joked a few times that I actually own a bit of Beatle DNA..sort of. Lou sounded great live & I love how his voice would slide into his famous falsetto on the chorus of this song. It really was a BIG hit. 💙☮💙☮💙☮💙☮💙☮💙

Awesome recollection! Thanks for sharing!

My mom worked for a local radio station back in 1967. She reported on concerts and she got to interview Lou Christie, The Turtles and The Rolling Stones!

You're very cute Asia and you're very cool BJ 😎. I'm glad you guys played the ORIGINAL version because there's some live versions that don't do it justice. Anyway, please listen to Come To Me Softly by Jimmy James and The Vagabonds also from the 60s. I'm willing to bet you guys are gonna love it but make sure it's the version that shows a 45rpm record on the cover. THAT is the original version. I know for sure it IS on RU-vid because I listen to it all the time. It's a beautiful, romantic song. Hope you like it.

@surlechapeau Год назад

Asia & BJ, His voice is very reminiscent of Frankie Valli. "Two Faces Have I" was another top 10 hit. Great voice, this is the song he is remembered for. edit- for a powerful even better voice, check out Jay & The Americans song "Cara Mia"!!

@blackprix Год назад

I was 17 years old and a junior in high school! How vivid this memory is especially since this song was very different from everything else and very very popular. Brings back good memories

@surfingrandpa 5 месяцев назад

Everyone always grins when Lou goes into that falsetto. He still tours and can hit those high notes.

@blade3184 Год назад

I've seen Lou Christie many times in concert and he can still hit the high notes. Some other great songs of his to check out are " I'm Gonna Make You Mine", "The Gypsy Cried", "Two Faces Have I" and "Rhapsody in the Rain."

@davidmillar3993 Год назад

His "I'm gonna make you mine" is worth a listen 🙂

I was 16 when this came out. Heard it several million times in the car back then. Never thought much about the lyrics at that time, but you two got me thinking about Lou's questionable behavior now. This guy is a regular Casanova 😍

Me too.

@luckylady7542 Год назад

You should watch Lou perform this on the Midnight Special. He had 3 very well known female backup singers. He had a beard, dressed in blue denim, and looking very delicious. 😉❤

just a great pop tune. if and when i hear it on classic rock i hum and sing along.

@keithespinoza2064 Год назад

Love this song, thanks so much for playing it! I was 5 years old when it came out (1966) and was aware of it even then. Have always had this on my 60s blue-eyed soul playlist.

Very good song, very good singer was,out in 66. . Thanks for reacting to this great song and singer, don't believe no one else has. Rhapsody in the Rain is very good also Two Faces Have I(my favorite) and The Gypsy Cried. Made a comeback in 69 with Im gonna Make you Mine. Actually was a hit for him.

@francesthompson593 Год назад

This brings back so many memories, the music around this time was just amazing . The Walker Brothers, Jeff Beck etc 1965/66

@ronsanders307 Год назад

Lou Christie (nee, Luigi Alfredo Giovanni Sacco) is a great artist. Classically trained while in high school, he is now about 80 years old and is still working hard. In 2016, for example, he released "When You Were Young". Thank you for showcasing this rare talent. Your channel is terrific.

@luckylady7542 Год назад

Also in high school he sang bass in a group he belonged to. His teacher wanted him to go on to be classically trained but he said no, I'm going to make a record and be on American Bandstand. And he did.

@stevelaconte8802 Год назад

Italian? who knew

@donaldduck2139 Год назад

he cant quite make them high notes he did but still sounds pretty dam good with the ones he can still make, especially for and 80 something year old

@eclipsegurl2002 Год назад

He is still amazing. I saw him last on December 17th and he can still hit the high notes. That is him with me in my profile picture. Next check out the gypsy cried, Two faces have I, and rhapsody in the rain which is my favorite.

Such good memories hearing this. My Mom and Dad loved this song and would crank it if we were in the car going somewhere. So good!

@Eric-ms1ry Год назад

When Lou was 15 years old he was introduced to Twyla Herbert who was about 20 years older than Lou.Those 2 together co-wrote most( not all) of Lou's hits.She was considering becoming a concert pianist before meeting and working with Lou

@thewiseoldherper7047 Год назад

I remember this as a kid playing on the radio. I always liked his falsetto part. I didn’t realize what the song was about until I got older.

@wayne_twentyfive Год назад

Lou Christie was probably the guy with the second most famous falsetto voice, behind the great Frankie Valli .. This song is a good example of it, with his falsetto in the chorus .. But the song you really need to check out next from him is "TWO FACES HAVE I" .. It's an absolute classic, and I'm guessing you may have heard it before, as it still gets a run on radio stations .. Cheers, Wayne

@bradsense7431 Год назад

True that. For the longest time I thought this was Frankie Valli and Four Seasons

@annebiebrich9155 Год назад

Saw him in concert and he was great !

@dagmar.6954 Год назад

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 "I'm Gonna Make You Mine", "Two Faces Have I", "The Gypsy Cried", "Rhapsody In The Rain" etc.

In one of your other videos (Heart, I think) your guys were discussing what falsetto sounded like. I think there is probably not a better example of falsetto than this song (except maybe Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons).

@randytorres8211 Год назад

The song was released as a single on Christmas day 1965, and on February 19, 1966, it hit the top of the pop charts. Speaking about the song in the September 16, 2005 issue of Goldmine magazine, Lou Christie said: "And they didn't even like it! (Label head) Lenny Shear threw it in the wastebasket and said it was a piece of crap! So we put up our own money to get it played around the country, and it started taking off once it got played. Three months later, Lenny was taking a picture with me for Billboard magazine, handing me a gold record. I loved that." The song was co-written by Christie and Twyla Herbert, who was at least 20 years older than Christie and came from a classical music background. In the same Goldmine interview, Christie said: "I never worked with anyone else who was that talented, that original, that exciting. She was just bizarre, and I was twice as bizarre as her." Christie is sending mixed messages in this song: First, he's admitting he can't settle down to just one girl, but in the second verse he wants his girl to be trustworthy, true and pure. He bluntly admits he's willing to settle down to her one day, but for now if somebody's looking and reading his mind he's going for it. Can the character in this song ever be true to one girl? (Songfacts.com)

@gailcalderone5229 3 месяца назад

He wanted his girlfriend to hang around n wait for him because she was a good girl n wanted her to be his wife ( One Day) Just not that day because he needed to continue playing ..This song came out in the sixties n almost didn't make it on the radio because they found it controversial.. eventually it made it n became number one.. Imagine what they would think about today's music...
