Lou Christie was a popular singer from the Pittsburgh area, a former
choirboy with no formal musical training, who hit it big in the early
1960s as a teenager with two songs featuring his very high-pitched
falsetto voice, "The Gypsy Cried" and "Two Faces Have I." Several years
later he hit it big again, with two more hits using his falsetto voice
(though not as prominently as on his previous hits), "Lightning Strikes
Again" and "Rhapsody in the Rain." The latter had the distinction of
being one of the first songs to be banned from many radio stations
because of its perceived "suggestive" lyrics.
