I was 11 when this song came out Lou had a brilliant voice all the old lyrics to these song had meaningful words the best ever music ERA 🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I remember being a 15 year old kid going to Hartwick; New York to see Lou Christie , it was the thrill of my life. He walked right up to me and sang to me . I came from a home where the most love I ever got from my Dad was a fist in my face and just before I saw the concert I got beat again. Anyhow seeing Lou made me forget the beating for that night. I’m 70 and I will never forget his great performance
Lou Christie is celebrating his 80th birthday today, February 19, 2023. He is an American singer-songwriter known for several hits in the 1960s, including his 1966 US chart-topper "Lightnin' Strikes," (1965) "The Gypsy Cried" (1962),"Two Faces Have I," (1963) and "Rhapsody in the Rain" (1966), among others. He was born in Pennsylvania on February 19, 1943
Absolutely loved this song as a kid. Forgot about it and just randomly started singing the chorus like an hour ago. Has been on repeat ever since!💪🏿 Still a bop!🔥
I saw him at a show in Miami~~He stood right next to me and smiled! I looked into those gorgeous eyes and couldn't say anything!! He was gorgeous~Watching his later videos he was quite the showman! He really let loose with his dancing!! One of The Greatest Teen Idols in the 60's! Bravo Lou! ⚡🎤💞
The tune is very 4 Seasons-like but honestly, their two voices were very different. The falsetto part might be what fooled you but their natural voices...nope.
My husband and I saw Lou Christie in a revival concert at the CNE in Toronto in the 80s....he stopped the show dead! The more famous singers that followed were almost a let down. What a Voice!
I can't help thinking as I see these ladies dancing so free, so much emotion, fun, joy, happiness, truly getting into it and being lost in the song, that many are either passed away or very old. I wonder, when we see old folks today if we knew that some of them were in videos like this and if we knew that, just how much we would look at them differently. Now! Heck who am I kidding, this was just a bit b4 my time by about 10 years, but I am one of the old folks I am talking about! ha ha. Time surely flies and there are wonderful memoires. The only problem is how are we able to share them with these youngsters out there? lol
Like many, I discovered the great Lou Christie through this song. As I began to explore his career and the large volume of hits and diverse styles of music I was hooked! I would say 'If My Car Could Only Talk' is my most played, but honestly every song whether made for mass consumption or a personal artistic triumph, is a hit. Much too underated a talent and amazingly still going strong at 78! God bless him.
Every time this video appears on the Dutch music channel 192TV ( 24/7 of music oldies ) I look for the remote control to play it loud. Lou, you’re the best !
I didn't even know this song until about a year ago when I started watching the Music Choice Oldies Channel--they have it in fairly heavy rotation. Now I can't get it out of my head.
I love this song. When I was a kid I heard this song every morning for several weeks, as I dozed in the bathtub, before breakfast and the school bus. It's a story of raging teenage hormones and the craziness -- schizophrenia? -- thereby induced.
I've heard this song so many times since I was a wee child in the 60s--I always loved the chorus singing it in the car and thinking it was the Four Seasons! But someone posted it on Instagram today and I just now really listened to the lyrics! What a horny teenage boy song! Hilarious! Perfect set up for the following year which would be 1967 and the Summer of Love!
Your awesome Lou ! You were given a fantastic gift with your falsetto. I remember being a little girl around my older brothers playing your song and hearing the lightening striking again part. I totally loved 🥰 this song. Your also very kind to your fans and I’m definitely one 😻🌹❤️✌️

I'm so sorry, Debra. Harsh memories even so many years later. God bless you.
That's horrible. I pray for your emotional recovery from that trama. :(
Music is so healing.....here's a hug........
So sorry you have such memories! I just said a prayer for you. That just breaks my heart!
Wow. I’m so sorry you went through that

True love is like LIGHTENING! Such a great song. Thanks Lou for all the thrills at hearing your lovely voice throughout my whole life....
I am so stoned! I remember this when I was a very young child it was lighting and all I heard in my head was this 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣……peaceful calmer times.
What a masterpiece!!💥👍🏻👌🏼👏🏻

And sexy. That Lou! I wish this song had an extended version.
Such a brilliant song and such an amazing voice
I'm 60 years old. This is one of my all time favorite songs.
Love the dancing
I'm a 70's kid and I always thought that this was Frankie Valle. Now I know better.
Same here. :)
Me too

@@andreaschmall5560 Agreed.
Great song. Also featured in the 1981 film 'Strange Behaviour', in a party scene that is perhaps the best scene in any film ever.
I was 7yrs old in '66 and this song has Always been a Favorite🌹 07/17/2022

AM Radio was always on in my mom's house. I would perk up and listen to this song all the time at age 5.
I've wondered the same thing at times.
I absolutely love this guy!!❤
I done this song at karaoke with my lady friends the place went crazy, People sad wow perfect. Love you Lou
Great song. OMG, Lou was packing some!
Simply a Great song! Classic! Timeless! Thank you Lightening Lou!
I saw him in concsrt in 1999, and he sounded just as good as his records.
9 years old when this song came out. Good gawd where has the time gone.
This song is a masterpiece. Written by Lou, as most of his songs were.
Love that sort of doo wop vibe on the pre chorus. Loved this as a kid.
Lou and Twyla Herbert.
@@jwandhistools With the baritone sax I hear a little Motown❤
My oldest sister use to play this all the time. Brings back good memories RIP Patty ♡♡
Live by rules, not in this lifetime
The best of the times !
I was 5 and obsessed with this song. Haven’t heard it in ages. Still love it. 💕
Love his tunes
Hubba-HUBBA! 🎇🧨🎆 What a handsome Guy 💕😻 & he can sing, too! & he even wrote THIS!?! WOW! 💘🫠🍀

Great singer and song. He has a good range in his voice to hit those high notes.
Surprised it doesn't have 8 million views. Brilliant Pop classic.
Every time this video appears on the Dutch music channel 192TV ( 24/7 of music oldies ) I look for the remote control to play it loud. Lou, you’re the best !
Captures the entire 60’s decade in one song doesn’t it
Loved this song as a kid. Catchy chorus.
Saw him live at an "oldies" show in Toronto way back when. He is an amazing live performer
I didn't even know this song until about a year ago when I started watching the Music Choice Oldies Channel--they have it in fairly heavy rotation. Now I can't get it out of my head.
Vintage video. Great memories of 1966🌹👍
I love this song.

This song rules!!
On repeat! Love this.
Legend ! Keep going putting out great music !
Lips and mouth movements match very well. Singing.
I love this!
It’s 2023, still going strong
A powerful record.
Original disco here. Bee Gees
Older than I am 🤔... but I Loved it
My favorite song
My favorite part of this song is the part between when it begins and ends
Those cardies are back in fashion
He reminds me of that dinosaur boss bad guy in NES Mario II...
I think he is the best falsetto ever
Wow, these were the norms I grew up with. Forgive and forget.
What bad dancing too!
Avant-garde
I always thought this was Frankie Valli
Dang. I was hoping it was actually going to be live.
love it
I like your Channel Lou Christie I like you
Quality💯🌟🏴🍀👏
Is it just me or does Lou really sound like Frankie Valli when he hits those high notes?
GREAT song, Bonnie! :-)
Thx juani
Oh My Gosh!
You could never release a song with these lyrics today
The perfect pop song
Yes Lou is the falsetto!
The pompadour! 😅
2023!!
SUPER!
Me recuerda el cover de Claus nomi
Nice song 👍🏼
Klaus Nomi's version is also cool
I wonder if this song has an extended version? ❤❤❤
I always thought that this song was so sexual! Boy, have times changed!
Did Lou Christie also sing the falsetto of this song?
I love this song, but I was way off on the release date. Thought it was in the 70s sometime.
No it was 1966. I was in Junior High. Brings back memories. Some songs are timeless.
The audio is the record, is it not?
Lightning Lou!
I wonder if those are the Tammys doing the background vocals.
Bari sax
Es muy buena pero me gusta el cover de Claus nomi.
this is great, always loved the song....but they didn't used to even pretend it was live singing with no back up singers on stage.
I bet Lou was burning up in that sweater.
