God bless ol' Lou.Well into his golden years and still turns up on oldies tour circuits along with other veteran troopers from his hey day such as Gary Puckett,the Turtles,and the Association."Lightning Strikes" is certainly eternal oldies treasure.The question is at 71,will he stil be able to effeectively hit the song's key falsetto parts?
