Let's Dance (Chris Montez song)

"Let's Dance" is a 1962 rock‑and‑roll single by American singer Chris Montez, written and produced by Jim Lee. Released on Monogram Records, the song became an international hit, reaching No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States and No. 2 on the UK Singles Chart. The single later re‑entered European charts in 1972, again reaching the top five in several countries.

The recording is built around a brisk dance beat, with electric guitar riffs and handclap patterns typical of early 1960s rock‑and‑roll. Montez’s vocal line follows a simple call‑and‑response structure, and the arrangement includes short instrumental breaks that mirror the dance‑step references in the lyrics.
