Former Teen Idol, Singer – Songwriter Lou Christie
Lou Christie guests on Las Vegas Backstage Talk Radio Show with Comedian Michele LaFong on 1230 am KLAV in Las Vegas, and The Web.
Lou Christie’s chart-topping career started in a two-track studio in his rural hometown near Pittsburgh. In 1963, Christie’s first million-selling song, “The Gypsy Cried,” transformed the local choirboy, Lugee Alfredo Giovanni Sacco, into teen idol Lou Christie.
Throughout the ‘60s Christie’s success continued with numerous hit singles, including “Two Faces Have I,” “Rhapsody in the Rain,” “I’m Gonna Make You Mine” and the chart-topping “Lightin’ Strikes.” With his success, Christie forever embedded himself and his unique three-octave vocal range into American musical history.
Highlights from Christie’s performing career include touring on Dick Clark’s “Caravan of Stars,” performing on the hit television show “American Bandstand,” and performing for Queen Elizabeth and the Royal Family. Christie has shared the stage with numerous artists, including The Rolling Stones, The Who, Neil Diamond, Roy Orbison and Jerry Lee Lewis.

Pauly Shore, Gary Owen, Jarrett & Raja-LVBST w/Comedian Michele LaFong
Aug. 30, 2012 6pm-7pm PST 1230AM in LV & The Web
Pauly Shore, Comic Gary Owen, and Illusionists Jarrett & Raja guest on Las Vegas Backstage Talk Radio Show with Comedian Michele LaFong, on Thursday from 6:05pm-7:00pm PST on 970am KNUU, in Las Vegas, and The Web.
An entertainment career was virtually pre-ordained for Pauly Montgomery Shore. At age 4, he sat on the lap of The King himself in the company of his father, comedian Sammy Shore, who opened for Elvis during the early ’70s. Around the same time, Pauly’s mother, Mitzi, and father opened The Comedy Store on Hollywood’s Sunset Strip, giving their son the rare opportunity to hang out and be inspired by such rising talents as Robin Williams, David Letterman and the late Sam Kinison, who became Pauly’s mentor. At 17, Pauly began writing and performing his own material, creating the persona of “The Weizel,” a character that quickly appealed to young audiences.
Pauly Shore has a successful career in comedy, movie and television roles, directing and writing.
His new special “Pauly~tics” will be coming to Showtime in November.
