LOU CHRISTIE
ORIGINAL SINNER:
THE VERY BEST OF
THE MGM RECORDINGS
(RPM 284)
MGM honchos chose the A side of Lou Christie's fifth and final MGM single without his knowledge or approval. Still, the Calello-produced Since I Don't Have You admirably illustrated Lou's bipolar artistic impulses. Since I Don't Have You also served as Lou's tribute to his mentor, Skyliners Arranger and Robbee label owner Lennie Martin (d. 2 September 1963). Added to 37% of the Cash Box-reporting radio stations the week ending 3 December 1966, Lou Christie's Since I Don't Have You rose to #13 on WJHO Opelika, Alabama and #15 on WENE Endicott NY.
