Chris Montez (born Ezekiel Christopher Montanez on January 17, 1943 in Los Angeles, California, the last of 20 children) 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."
