The video below showcases the hit single “Let’s Dance” by Chris Montez. Recorded and released in 1962 when Montez was only 19 years old, the song became a major success. Written and produced by Jim Lee, “Let’s Dance” secured the number 4 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the US and reached number 2 on the UK Singles Chart, where it spent four weeks. The song sold over one million copies, earning Montez a gold disc for his achievement.

The 1960s were undoubtedly a golden era for music, and Chris Montez was among the talented artists of that time. His popularity soared, and even the Beatles opened three of his concerts while he was performing alongside Tommy Roe. Although his early success saw a decline, he managed to make a comeback with the hit “Call Me” in 1966.
