Jeesh! Here I find out only today this is the man behind all these really great songs! I know others have sung them But Chris's voice is the best! Also found out he is from my hometown and HS and used to jam with the Beach Boys, Hats off to ya Zeke! you rock
Wow...who the hell woulda thought Chris Montez could actually play an instrument, and pretty well too?! And I don't say that disrespectfully, because usually the typical 60's pop vocalist was only basic with instument skills if he had any at all. Nice job though, and I've always loved his vocals, esp. his first 4 LP's! Great stuff, great A&M production values, and criminally underrated.
I agree with estyle40. Unless the artist performs the song as recorded, I tend not to enjoy it as much as the original. I love Chris Montez's music from the 60's, "Call Me" in particular. But I'm not crazy about this version. Still, it's great to see Chris again, and to know that he still performs.
When I go see a live performance I'm not looking for the exact version of my favorite tunes. That's the beauty of live performance where you get other arrangements but the same feeling of the song. Maybe I feel this because I'm a musician.
Yeah, I know...REALLY... whut's the point of going to a live performance in anticipation of hearing an exact copy of the recorded version?!?!
If you want to hear a copy of the recorded performance, DON'T GO TO THE LIVE PERFORMANCE. Instead, stay home and listen to the recorded performance.
I for one, like to hear the original performer MIX IT UP from the recorded version. Show us your musicianship, let us hear how your musical personality has developed and/or matured from the time of record.
I don`t know.............a lotta my favorite songs of all time kinda suck live. I`m such a stickler for records/CD`s. Includin this. But it is nice to see the guy`s still kickin. We`re losin so many of them left and right.
Chris Montez was a huge exception to the rock n roll of the 60's. His great style was in a class of its own.His style was was a highly sophisticated blend of pop and bossa nova. I think he was a forerunner of "soft rock" although he cannot be categorized as such. Also,he probably influenced people who would go on to develop "smooth jazz", which, was okay until people like David Sanborn and wretched, loathesome garbage-meister Kenny G got hold of it. I will always love Chris' work.
Just wonderful, just awesome! thanks Mr. Montez, you have mada my life so much happier since i was a little one by just listening to you and guess what, i still do. great song. thank you. from italy, brazil and now us, thank you. your song just follows me around, i hear it all over the world, everywhere, it's just wonderful. CHEERS!
We all had our iffy moments along with the magic during the shows. Most of the performers knew of each other, but never played together before. It was quite a party that weekend. We were lucky we could remember our names!
Chris Montez just keeps getting better and better. I saw him about a year ago in concert and he was so gracious and kind. There was a lady reclining in a wheelchair in the front row, and when Chris came down off the stage to dance in the audience, he stopped at the lady, took her hand and kissed it. What a beautiful gesture from a beautiful man!
Thank you for this! Didn't know this concert even existed. Other than the worn out 45 I have from 1966, I cannot find a modern-day reprint of this record. Haven't found it on CD anywhere or I-Tunes.
It is available on the CD " Call Me - The A&M Years "
on the Eclipse Archives Series, from Polydor UK Ltd. I bought mine from Amazon dot com . These are the Original A&M hit versions as you remember them ( NOT later updated versions ). 22 tracks of some of the best songs did for A&M like Call Me, The More i see You, Never Be Another You, Time after Time and many more. I think it was released last year. Like you, I looked for this stuff for a long time. Get it while it is still available !
This song is so addicting....cant help singing it all the time...
