The locally born singer, best known for the hit “Lightnin’ Strikes,” died Wednesday after a brief illness. Lou Christie, the locally born singer who in 1966 topped the pop charts with “Lightnin’ Strikes,” died Wednesday. He was 82. Born Lugee Alfredo Giovanni Sacco in Crescent, Christie began singing while still a student at Moon Area High School. Inspired by fellow Pittsburgh vocal groups such as The Skyliners, he began releasing solo albums in the early 1960s.
