Reviews Customer Reviews for Chris Montez All Time Greatest Hits Lets Dance      Bring on the queso      Rating:      You definitely have to be of a particular mind set to appreciate the dulcet tones of Chris Montez. Yes, he carried the gauntlet (or is that margarita glass) passed to him by Ritchie Valens. Yes, "Let's Dance" was on the Animal House soundtrack, which I used to hear at frat parties in the mid 80's. Yes, John Lennon got mad at him for some reason and dumped a beer on his head. Yes, Deke Dickerson's old surf band Untamed Youth did a cover of Chris' "Some Kinda Fun." Is it so wrong for me to drive around Nashville in a 1986 Oldsmobile with my windows down, singing at the top of my lungs along with "Time After Time?" Is it wrong for me to remember a particularly "special" moment associated with Chris' version of "There'll Never Be Another You?" Listening to the A&M recordings, you almost feel like you're right there at the party at some swanky tiki looking club, clapping along and pounding down tequila. Chris Montez helped to make lounge music cool. If only someday, I can see him perform in Vegas, I will be a happy chiquita.     Customer Reviews for Chris Montez All Time Greatest Hits Lets Dance Cd      Very original sound!      Rating:      Ok, first, I have to say, this man is my Uncle (I know him as "Uncle Zeke" for Ezekiel). So, anything I say is biased. But here goes anyway... Uncle Zeke has a very original voice and songs like "Call Me", "The More I See You", and "I Ran" are simply fantastic. No, he's nothing like Ritchie Valens and I don't think he ever wanted to be. He was a solo artist from the 60's who happened to be hispanic - so everyone drew up comparisons. But listen to his music. A hint of the Beach Boys in the early years and something sounding completely original in the latter part of his career. Nothing like Valens. And he was very original. You should buy it.
