My Take
My respect for Chris Montez is rooted in the fact that he carries the actual air of early-1960s rock and roll in his bones; his 1962 hit "Let's Dance" climbed to number four on the Billboard Hot 100 and still snaps with energy. Raised in Los Angeles, he ranged easily from rock to pop standards to Latin music, a versatility I find quietly impressive. What I admire most is the longevity, decades of singing built on a distinctive voice rather than passing trends. He strikes me as a true craftsman of song, the sort of artist whose work tends to feel relevant again every time taste comes back around.
