Nov 25, 1985: Many of the facts in Pittsburgh magazine's "Steeltown Sound" story are wrong. The story says Lou Christie was "derailed by the British invasion of the mid-'60s." But Christie's "Lightnin' Strikes" rose to No. 1 in 1966 and "I'm Gonna Make You Mine" to No. 10 in 1969

I was wearing a lot of cardigan sweaters in those days with the pockets on the side. Chinos with a sewn-on belt on the back. I wore penny loafers and white socks and a heavy-duty ducktail haircut. Heavy-duty.

"Look at evergreens like Sinatra, Dean Martin, they've got class. They go out and sing, entertain. They don't give out a bunch of b*llsh*t. I think that a lot of the older singers are still the better end of the entertainers."
