LOU CHRISTIE
ORIGINAL SINNER THE VERY BEST OF THE MGM RECORDINGS
http:..www.rpmrecords.co.uk Italian doo wop, sex,
surf and Spector mingle in LOU CHRISTIE'S
slice-of-teenage-life dramas - and he almost always slips
into his trademark falsetto for the choruses. It's a hell of
a voice and there's a whole bunch of it on ORIGINAL SINNER
(RPM), including the big hit. Great fun. ~Jim Irwin, MOJO
If LOU
CHRISTIE wrote a bad song, you wouldn't know it from
ORIGINAL SINNER and EGYPTIAN SHUMBA, RPM Records' tribute to
the high-voiced Italian-American dynamo. The
selections of hits and misses all lead to the same
conclusion; LOU CHRISTIE was a twenty-four carat genius, a
pop writer and artist whose refusal to play by the rules
(pop, gender relationships - he broke 'em all) always
resulted in something extraordinary. ~Shelia Burgel, Cha Cha
Charming Suggesting
nothing less than a mad Motown maverick spiking his fans
with toxic doo-wop, CHRSTIE upped the ante on the decadent
BABY, WE GOT TO RUN AWAY and RHAPSODY IN THE RAIN. A
sequence of songs produced by Jack Nitzsche, simply add to
CHRISTIE'S genius....this is thrilling pop music on every
level. ~Max Bell, UNCUT LOU'S music
can also be heard on retrospective collections be Klaus Nomi
(The Nomi Song) and Jack Nitzsche (Hearing Is Believing: The
Jack Nitzsche Story 1962-1979).
