Lou Christie--Lightning Strikes (1965)

     Lou Christie had three distinct periods of popularity during the 60's. The first was centered in the year 1963 where he claimed two top forty hits, most notably, "Two Faces Have I". Shortly after the release of that singe, he was inducted into the army for the next two years.
     After his release, he signed with MGM recorded and his first release was not thought of well. In fact, the president of the company threw his version in the trash! Luckily for him (and for us), his management team in California did like it and promoted it hard. The result was his first and only #1 hit, "Lightning Strikes".
      He had another few hits, before falling in the background again, before again resurfacing in 1969 for a couple more hits before fading into the oldies arena during the early 80's.
