775-Chris Montez-The More I See You.
1966-Number 3 single.
Best Bit-At 0.18 it’s amazing how many people think this is a female singer.
Back in 1962 Chris Montez has great success with the Rock ‘N’ Roll songs ‘Lets Dance’ and ‘Some Kinda Fun’ but subsequent efforts in the same vein floundered.In 1965 when signed to A and M records,Herb Alpert suggested a different approach,a middle of the road soft ballad sound.Though reluctant at first Montez agreed to go along with it.’The More I See You’ was written in 1945 with music by Harry Warren and lyrics by Mack Gordon,it was first recorded for the film Diamond Horseshoe by Dick Haymes.
