  • True talents. True professionals. True performers. A beautiful fusion of respect for the lyric, respect for voice, and respect for each other!

  • Geez.....could anyone be cuter than Lou Christie????

  • I'm 22 years old, I really wish I could be around to see these two in their prime, I watch videos of both of them non stop on youtube, really wish I could have grown up in an era like that. Now its just about rap and using computers to make you sound good. I love watching Lesley, every time she sings there is so much passion, and she is very talented.

  • This is an Excellent Video! Lou can really belt it out. Did he ever do It's only make believe? I would love to buy it if he did.

  • @steveandterik The single heard here, SINCE I DON'T HAVE YOU/IT'S ONLY MAKE BELIEVE is available on Manhattan Records. The B side of the single is OUR LOVE WAS MEANT TO BE. The single is also included on Lou's cd BEYOND THE BLUE HORIZON.

  • @stevemichaels2020 Great! Thanks very much for the info, I will definitely be getting it, Lou & Lesley were fantastic in this! 

  • Wow! Love this - REaly - Really good stuff! Thanks for posting...

  • im numb right now.......im feelin this song like crazy.....i miss miss gore......lou christie is just an icon......he has the whole deal. and we........are now deluged with timberlake...beiber and those hip hop idiots..........guess its the times now....but so bloody boring and bland

  • @kansasweep ....Amen and AMEN! You are so correct....but, what can one do but enjoy the truly great artists and not the ones created by E New! and MTV.....

    Most young people know the words to the songs of the 1970s, 80s, 90s.....and the names of the artists. Now, not so much! My son listens to the music that I listened to! Have you noticed how commercials play the old songs as the backdrop to their advertisements? Kind of revealing, isn't it?

  • fabulous! Heard them perform this at Wesbury oldies show and it was to be released shortly. sadly it didn't become the hit it should have. great chemistry and terrific sound together.

  • Now this, Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, and anyone else, is one kick-ass, so very professional performance. I really do not think that there is anyone today, June 21, 2011, that could ever top this. This is just so classic! So perfect! So one of a kind!

  • OMG!!!!!

  • Lou does look great, I wish he would get rid of the mullet but he does look and sound young!

  • I love this song , lou is a very handsome man with a very specile voice....

  • This is really wonderful!  What a great show that must have been. I didn't know (or remember?) that Lesley and Lou sang duets together- terrific and thanks

  • Pure Dynamite!!! Where are the entertainers today to fill these shoes???!!!! Nowhere. They are all sizzle and no steak. This is powerful entertainment based on talent and artistic expression. BRAVO!!!!!!!I saw this song performed by them in 1986 I believe in Warren OH. It brought down the house!!!It is 10x more powerful in person.

  • dear God, thanks for this video! only 1 question: why did you not show their

    kiss and the end? Tina

  • Two of my all time favorites. This is the Best rendition of this song EVER! Give me the cold chills every time. Thanks for uploading. Now, I'm gonna listen again.

  • Big ole Southern HaPpY BiRtHdaY Lou!!! Thanks for sharing that marvelous voice with so many! Love Ya!!!

  • The Chemistry between these two is great!

  • STILL...one of Lou's best. Looking so good Lou...

  • Did Lou ever do the National Anthem at Heinz Field?

  • OMG-fantastic!!

  • THESE TWO PUT IT TOGETHER. SHOCKING!

  • this duet is amazing!

  • WOW ! Being from the Pittsburgh area BiG LOU as he is known here. Is very much loved. I went to see him play one night at the Salute to the Classics at Lyndon Hall. After the show i went to the hotel lounge for a drink. I sat down got to talking to the drummer for the Jaggerz. . I said whats the chance of meeting Big Lou ? He said come outside to the outside bar. Sure enough there was Lou Christie. He got my wife and I a drink as we did him . We talked for about a half an hour. What a great guy

  • @civilwardoc1 My wife and I have tickets to see Lou, along with Freddy "Boom Boom" Cannon, Martha and the Vandellas, The Marcels, and the Coasters on Mar. 26th. I know all about Lou as I live 75 miles SW of Pittsburgh. Actually he is 2 months older than me. I have been a fan of Lou's for many many years. Whenever he has a concert and is near, we attend. Lou has been great for the music industry, and is nothing but an A-1 class act.

  • @proudtobefromwv Well, today is March 26th, and I know Lou's concert in AC is tonight. I'm a great fan of his also. I'd love to hear from you how the concert was. I'm so bummed that I couldn't go!

  • @LousFool As always Lou was "Great". I enjoyed The Marcels, The Coasters, and Freddie "Boom Boom" Cannon, but Martha and the Vandellas did not do a good job. Lou still and always will have it. He is a great performer. Wil see him as soon as we can again, if possible. Thanks for checking back.

  • @proudtobefromwv Thanks so much for the info. I'm always interested to know how Lou's shows were. I appreciate it!

  • great, ty , wowowowoowowoo

  • Way back in about 1967 I danced on stage with LOU...still remember it with great fondness. Remember he would open with UPTIGHT...

  • Wow! Talk about two legends!

  • What a performance by Lou and Lesley. Lou---AMAZING!!

  • I love the way his face lights up at !:06!!! LOVE it Lou!!!!

  • @MsCasillo Isn't his face amazing? Such expression---and just plain adorable!

  • she was so hottt back then an ahes still is and he is as good as he was back then if not better, chazzy

  • WE NEED AN ACT LIKE THIS IN BRANSON,,, SELLOUT CROWD EVERY NIGHT..COME ON LESLIE AND LOU,,,

  • Probably one of the best duets ever. I bought this record when it came out ages ago but I can't believe the chemestry seeing it performed. Whoever came up with a suggestion for both of these artists coming together with Since I Don't Have You made pure MAGIC with this collaberation. ABSOLUTE M-A-G-I-C!

  • Lou and Lesley would be great for the Branson crowd, how about it???

  • Wow! That was a lovely singing. I love the song too. Thanks to Pete for sharing me this. Made me smile ... :)

  • these two are at the top of their game!

  • now this is amazing! the only fault i find is the abundance of makeup on Ley, she still looks amazing~ The 80's was the makeup generation. Sad that this and the B side of the single are SOOO hard to find now.

  • TOOOOOO CUTE!

  • Lou outsings Leslie here, to put it mildly. He still can hit those high notes past age 60. Amazing.

  • @fek2000 Isn't THAT the truth??!! Lou's performance here is so emotional and powerful...and yes--amazing!! Such a talented man. (Gorgeous too!)

  • I wonder if Lou honestly knows just how talented, sexy, GORGEOUS, and HOT he truly is!!! I know he knows of his talent.....but Lou Baby....on the others....OH YEA!!!!

  • Double Yummy!

  • As I've said before......I love watching Lou's face on this video. So gorgeous, and that voice!!!! HOT- HOT-HOTTTTTT!!!

  • Great!

  • Lesley is gorgeous and what a singer and entertainer.

    very sexy.

  • I can hear this again and again.. Love it...

  • Musicians are heaven's gift to our world....

  • THIS SO GREAT

  • I recall seeing this on television. Lou was great along with Fabian, the Diamonds, Frankie Avalon and many more. It takes me back.

  • This is a duet for the ages! God Bless you Lou & lesley, what voices, what soul! Wolfsky9

  • can't wait to see him again in oct. God willing i will be on the rock & roll cruise he will be on in jan... Your still the best LOU.. fan since 1965. your voice is still amazing even at 66.. love ya!!

  • I have every 45 and album every made by Lou Christie. I only wish I had a turntable, so I could play them again. I personally made a trip back to NJ to see him in concert at the Continental Arena last year. He has never failed me yet and I have see him in concert 20+ times. Great voice, and downright sexy.

  • @blueyedKSGirl : try ebay. really!

  • @blueyedKSGirl

    He is so very sexy..I've never seen him but I'm so glad I can see him now! You must live on the east coast.

  • thanks, bud

  • Lou has everything going for him..voice looks & soooo down to earth.. There has never been a time that i've gone to see him that he hasn't seen me after the show..Stay as wonderful as you are. God Bless you.

  • great video. Lou and Leslie make the

    best duet..Saw them in person doing this

    wow...................

  • What a fabulous video, thank you for sharing. I became disabled 4 years ago, and my sociall life is limited, but hearing these songs that I grew up with have become my entertainment, I found myself smiling again.

  • Hey Bill! You are being appreciated for another one of your super videos!!!

    Kath

  • Lou Christie is really at his best in this video. His operatic training, and that signature falsetto is just pushed to the max, and he looks and sounds fantastic. I saw him at Madison Square Garden, years ago, and he caused a sensation.

    The audience refused to let him off-stage and he eventually closed the show with

    (I believe) Mickey's Monkey. That night he had the voice, the moves, the EDGE. A very magnetic and super performer. From Pittsburgh! (and well-matched by

    Lesley Gore)

  • Thanks for the comment! Love it!

  • @AceyDeucy1 Excellent!!!

  • Bravo, that was fabulous, what a duo, I am so happy to have been part of this music, they are performers. Great pick, thank you..

  • Yep, Deb.....you said it all.....I'd say Lou was in his PRIME in this video. He was great in the MIDNIGHT SPECIAL VIDEO....but, he's more mature and happy here.

    I'm watching PBS DooWop at this very moment (Thursday, March 5th 9:12 pm)...I'm wondering if Lou will be on it. It is a repeat, but I'd like to see him on it. I just happened to be flying through channels and caught it......

    Nebraska had temps in the 70's today! Spring is coming!!!

  • Just look at him - have you ever seen any man more sexy? Even to this day!

  • Yes, catzpg.....I agree!

  • Congratulations to this fabulous performer for being inducted into the Hit Parade Hall of Fame. An honor well and truly deserved! WAY TO GO LOU!!

  • Hey Paula....Debbie said that you are a Lou Christie Fan! Welcome!

    Kathleen

  • Kathleen,

    Thanks for the welcome! I have been a Lou Christie aficionado since I saw him in a concert when I was 14! Absolutely adore his music and of couse more than adore him!!

  • Absolutely AWESOME performance! I LOVE, LOVE, Love Lesley Gore!

  • Merry Xmas and a fantastic New Year to the whole world...G`Day from OZ!!!

  • Sorry...Christmas...

  • A verry Merry Christmas and wonderful New Year to you too and also to all the other "Lou" fans from Catz in Dixie!

  • You have that right! I saw him in a concert in Chattanooga TN when I was 14 - he had my hormones raging then and can still do the same thing all these years later. He's just as sexy now as then!

  • catzpg,

    Your not kidding! I know all about Lou and hormones! Hey Kath, how are yours?!

  • Well.....when it comes to Christie.....JUST FINE!

    Merry Christmas to you, Deb.....and all the Lou Christie fans!

  • Lou - unadulterated sex appeal!

  • Had to drop in for my favorite "Lugee" fix. Don't know which is more addictive - his voice or his super good looks! Both are utterly amazing!!

  • wow I could just eat him up

  • Yummy!

  • You girls are bad! - I agree!

  • BLOODY FANTASTIC...I love...LESLEY AND LOU...Who is with me?...G`Day from OZ!!!

  • Well, Nebraska's Cornhuskers lost....and, as a UNL grad, I'm sad.....

    But hey, I still have LOU! Heehee!!!!!

  • After three weeks, I checked this out again....

    Nothing has changed...this is still my fav Lou video.

  • Thank you, my parents think you rock and so do I.

  • This duet is available on Lou's cd Beyond The Blue Horizon. Terrific song by Lesley and Lou!

  • Nothing ironic about it. It's a performance by two great artists and that has nothing to do with ones preference of the sexes.

  • I can't help it....this is still my favorite video because Christie looks sooooo cute....and his voice rocks!

  • This medley is great but ironic - Leslie Gore is a lesbian. I've always loved her music, too!

  • Look at how many times he has that "devilish"

    little grin! Watch his new videos, he's got the same grin! Tell me Lou doesn't know he's "HOT" even now!

  • Of course he knows he is "HOT"! So do we!!!!

  • Lou will never lose it. He is a hunk even today. What a Man.What a Hunk.Why can't I meet a man like Lou..

  • Hey SBR, my question is - why can't I meet "Lou"?!

  • Lou just keeps the hits going and going and going. What a voice, face, and yes body.I just love that man.Everything about him is perfect. Love ya Lou.

  • SBR,

    I like your comments! We think alike when it comes to Lou! The body, the face, the voice? Yep, he's perfect! And he never lost it. He's as hot, sexy, with a voice that won't quit, today, as he was then!

  • FANTASTIC, AMAZING. LOVE THEM BOTH.

  • Italian men - their just so "passionate" in "everything" they do!

  • Sheltie,

    I'm one of those, "simply women" - I volunteer to be his biggest excitement! It's a tough job, but somebody's gotta to do it!

  • You are so cool! I love it!

  • I saw this when I was 12 and was a fave performance of my dad and moms. An exellent performance, real power!

  • oshanalive....your parents rock! How fortunate for you! My parents were great, but they were listening to Tommy Dorsey and Glen Miller....who, by the way, rock too!

  • Italian men, are just beautiful souls!!

  • Ohhhhhh yesssss!!!!!! I guess my Irish brother could take some lessons! However, he married a wonderful....beautiful Italian woman!  My German/Swedish hubby is fine, however!

  • Hi Kath,The biggest excitement to an Italian man, it's not his car or any posession, it's simply women, I love Italian men!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Oh my Lord....Mare.....those Italian men have it right!!!!

  • Kath, oh yeah!!!!!!!

  • OK, tchr6798!!!

    YOU HAVE JUST FOUND THE BEST LOU CHRISTIE YOU TUBE VIDEO....AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED....

    OMG!!!! HE'S SO HOT!!! HE IS UNBELIEVABLE!

    Kath

  • Oh, WOW! I am an oldie(63), but I think that this is the sexiest song and duo that I have ever seen. I have seen Lou Christie in concert several times and our pre-teen daughter just fell in love with him back then. I am about the same age as these two and to hear them just brings back such sweet memories of the late 50's and early 60's. Oh, my gosh, how I would love to see them in concert and sing this song which is made up of two of my favorite oldies. Thanks so much for posting, Schrooms73

  • I believe this is the BEST OF LOU CHRISTIE on You Tube! He is beautiful vocally and physically! WoooHoooo!

  • OOOOHHHH, YEAH!!!!

  • Lou Darlin'-

    "Don't have much to share, you say? Baby, your ENOUGH!"

  • Hey Kath,

    The line Lou sings - "I don't have it!"?

    I don't have it either! But I want it!

  • WOW!!! 2 GREAT performers!! Wish I was there to hear it live. I enjoyed every second of this video. WOW!!!!

  • Kath,

    Yeah, it's called -

    "Major Sex Appeal"!!!!

  • Ooohhhh Baby...no @$!%^%!!!

    The "change" in that moment is just, well, just sooooo sexy! To have that "translated" on a YOUTUBE video is almost unbelievable. He just has that special "something" that is rare!

    Kath

  • Watch the look as Lou comes on stage - he knows....

    Look at the sparkle in his eyes and the passion as he sings his second verse - he knows....

    Watch his body movements - he knows....  "HE'S HOT"!

  • When Leslie shakes her head....I believe she is totally "moved" in total appreciation of her dear friend and his vocal talent. How cool is she? Very.

  • who has this concert, pls let me know

  • Have mercy! What a hunk!

  • OK, Rhapsody.....is this just absolutely, positively, unbelievably.....the best ....just the best of Lou Christie?

    I happened to find this......what a great moment in time.

  • THE BEST! He's just sooo got it all and Italian, too! Is there anything better?

  • Yes he is one hunk of a man. I wonder why I can't meet him also. And to think he lived about 4 hours from me in Pittsburg. Darn just my luck... Love ya Lou

  • Oh my Lord.....just awesome!

  • Love this thank you for sharing

  • Amen. It's a shame this did not make it big, although it did get some airplay here and there. I bought the 45 then and I treasure it. Two great artists from 1963 coming together 20+ years later to make some music magic. It is just great!

  • Great video, I remember this from the 80's and their single was great, should have been a hit for them.
