Talk:Chris Montez

Falsetto?
In the article, Montez is described as singing "falsetto." I don't think that what Montez sings can be called a "falsetto." A falsetto is what Frankie Valli, Lou Christie, Del Shannon, Brian Wilson, and others often sang/sing, but I truly don't believe that Montez sang/sings with a falsetto. I've heard him, and I think that maybe he has a voice that's kind of weak and not particularly low, (a la country singer Bill Anderson), but that is not what a falsetto is. A falsetto is just what the first five letters of the word indicate: false. In other words, in a register higher than a man would ordinarily sing. I don't believe that's the case with Montez. I believe that's his ordinary singing voice. Am I wrong? Slater79 18:13, 17 June 2007 (UTC)


 * He did not sing in a falsetto, nor was that his normal singing voice. It seemed to be some kind of strange attempt to produce campy nightclub like lounge lizard records. In those records, Montez is often intentionally singing flat and out of tune. Almost like a male Mrs. Miller. -- Elaich   talk 05:39, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

No mention in wiki article of Chris Montez on TV during the 1960' s period. Many times on American Bandstand, Where the Action Is, Lloyd Thaxton, and local shows also ( Buddy Dean, Kerby Scott), Balto. & DC area. May have done other TV and radio gigs too in that time period. Should be added to total entry as rock trivia history. 2601:145:8003:2930:83E:2FD1:B114:E409 (talk) 00:58, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
