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). 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. Montez toured with Clyde McPhatter, Sam Cooke, The Platters, and Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, and The Beatles opened a London concert for him while performing with Tommy Roe. 01 - Let's Dance 02 - I Ran 03 - You're The One 04 - Let's Do The Limbo 05 - Rocking Blues 06 - Chiquita Mia 07 - Somebody Loves You 08 - In A English Town 09 - Some Kinda Fun 10 - Say You'll Marry Me 11 - All You Had To Do Was Tell Me 12 - I Feel Like Dancing 13 - No No No 14 - Tell Me It's Not Over 15 - Go Ahead On 16 - Monkey Fever LINK
