The Gypsy Cried (song)
"The Gypsy Cried" is a song written by Twyla Herbert & Lou Christie, using his actual name Lugee Sacco,[1] which was released by Lou Christie as a single in 1962.[2][3] The name "Lou Christie" was chosen by C & C Records, and "The Gypsy Cried" was credited to "Lou Christie" before they had consulted with Sacco about the name.[4] The song was the first song that Herbert and Christie wrote together, written over a period of 15 minutes, and was Lou Christie's first hit.[4][5] The song was initially released by Pittsburgh-based C & C Records, and was a local hit in Pittsburgh, but it was soon picked up by Roulette Records and became a national hit.[2][4] The song was released on Lou Christie's eponymous album in 1963.[6] The song spent 13 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at No. 24 on March 16, 1963,[7] while reaching No. 18 on the Cash Box Top 100,[8] and No. 3 on Canada's CHUM Hit Parade.[9] References
