Chris Montez - Let's Dance - 1962

Chris Montez grew up in Hawthorne, California, influenced by the Latino-flavored music of his community and the success of Ritchie Valens.

In 1962, he recorded the single "Let's Dance" on Monogram Records (written and produced by Jim Lee).[1] It went to #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the U.S. and to #2 on the UK Singles Chart. The follow-up, "Some Kinda Fun", was a lesser hit. However, both records sold over one million copies, and were awarded gold discs.[2]

Montez toured with Clyde McPhatter, Sam Cooke, The Platters, and Smokey Robinson and the Miracles,[3] and The Beatles opened London and Northampton concerts for him while performing with Tommy Roe.[4][5] Montez commented "Who are these guys The Beatles? I try to keep up with the British scene, but I don't know their work
