Christie was born Lugee Alfredo Giovanni Sacco on February 19, 1943, in Glenwillard, Pennsylvania, and grew up in suburban Pittsburgh. While attending Moon Area High School, he studied music and voice, served as student conductor of the choir and sang solos at holiday concerts. His teacher, Frank Cummings, wanted him to pursue a career in classical music, but Sacco wanted to cut a record to get on American Bandstand. At age 15 he met and befriended Twyla Herbert, a classically trained musician 20 years his senior, who became his regular songwriting partner and wrote hundreds of songs with him over the next 30 years until her death in 2009.^{[ana buƙatar hujja]}^{[citation needed]} Sacco performed with several vocal groups and between 1959 and 1962 released several records on small Pittsburgh labels, achieving a local hit with "The Jury" by Lugee & The Lions (a group consisting of Sacco, Twyla Herbert's daughter Shirley, and two others) released on the Robbee label. After graduating from high school in 1961, Sacco traveled to New York City and worked as a session vocalist.^{[ana buƙatar hujja]}

In 1962, Sacco approached Nick Cenci with some demo tapes.[1] One of the first things Cenci did was change the name Lugee Alfredo Giovanni Sacco to Lou Christie. Sacco's father liked the name change, because it had "Christ" in it. [ana buƙatar hujja][citation needed] The singer himself did not like the name, though he was open to using a stage name and was compiling a list of suggestions before Cenci unilaterally picked "Lou Christie" without asking him; he later recalled it taking him 20 years to get used to it.[2]

Christie's career was quickly re-established after his discharge from the military when he signed with the MGM label. MGM reportedly disliked Christie's first single for the label, the Christie-Herbert song "Lightnin' Strikes". But Christie's new management promoted the record in California, and when it gained some traction (eventually reaching No. 2 on KHJ the last two weeks of 1965), MGM released it.^{[ana buƙatar hujja]}^{[citation needed]} "Lightnin' Strikes" reached number one in the U.S. on Christie's 23rd birthday on February 19, 1966, entered the UK Top 20, becoming his first hit in that country, and peaked at number one in Canada.^{[ana buƙatar hujja]}^{[citation needed]} The song featured his signature falsetto and included a female chorus (Bernadette Carroll, Denise Ferri, and Peggy Santiglia) shouting "Stop!" in counterpoint to the lead vocal:
