| THE MORE I SEE YOU Chris Montez (born Ezekiel Christopher Montanez, January 17, 1943, Los Angeles, California), is a Mexican American singer. In 1962, he recorded the single, "Let's Dance" on Monogram Records. It went to #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the U.S. and to #2 on the UK Singles Chart. On his 1966 A&M album, The More I See You, the title single from the album, sung in a soft, very high tenor range and played on primarily adult-formatted radio stations, confused some disc jockeys, who were unfamiliar with Montez's past work. When announcing the song, the DJs would often refer to Montez as a female. It peaked at #16 in the Billboard Hot 100 and at #2 in the Billboard Adult Contemporary[2] The music was written by Harry Warren, the lyrics by Mack Gordon. The song was published in 1945, |
