Chris Montez
Chris Montez (born Ezekiel Christopher Montanez on January 17, 1943 in Los Angeles, California) is a Hispanic American singer.
Montez grew up in Hawthorne, Califorina , influenced by the Latino flavored music of his community and the success of Ritchie Valens. In 1962 he recorded the 45rpm single "Let's Dance" that went to No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts in the U.S. and to No.2 in the United Kingdom.
He recorded for Herb Alpert on his A&M Records label and had three top 40 hits in the mid 1960s: "Call Me," "The More I See You," and "There Will Never Be Another You."
