The Beatles with Chris Montez and Tommy Roe in March 1963 (photo by Harry Hammond, © Victoria and Albert Museum / V&A Prints); Chris Montez and Ronnie Arias, Olivia's brother, at Hawthorne High School (photo courtesy of the Hawthorne High School Cougartown Feedback page).
“In March [1963] we toured with Tommy Roe and Chris Montez, who were supposed to share equal billing: one of them closing the first house and one the second house for the show. Chris Montez had a big hit, ‘Let’s Dance,’ and Tommy Roe had ‘Sheila.’ The Beatles were getting more and more popular — unfortunately for Tommy and Chris. [...] I think Chris Montez was closing the end of the performance and Tommy Roe the end of the first half. We said, 'No, no, Tommy and Chris close,’ because they still sounded like big names to us. [...] I felt sorry for Chris Montez; he was just a little Mexican bloke. He did a slow song on a chair, a Spanish tune, and the Teds were all shouting, ‘Boo, f*** off.’ He said, ‘Oh, you don’t like it, OK,’ and he stopped and put down his guitar and tried something else.” - George Harrison, The Beatles Anthology (2000)
“When I [Burt Kearns, the writer of this Please Kill Me article] met him [circa 2008], Chris [Montez] said he still kept in touch with his pals from Hawthorne High, like Ron Arias. ‘He had this old-fashioned car and we’d hang out. I used to go to his house all the time,’ Chris told me. ‘And when I’d go over there to his house, he had this little sister. And she’d always smile and she was kinda shy. That was Olivia. Olivia grew up and ended up working at A&M Records. I was there at A&M, after the ‘Let’s Dance’ era, but I didn’t know. And then I found out that later, that’s where she met George Harrison. And she and George were married. This young girl turned out to be Olivia Harrison. It’s just —‘ He laughed. ‘It’s funny. Everything came full circle.’” - PleaseKillMe.com, April 25, 2018
“[Olivia] grew up in Hawthorne, hometown of the Beach Boys, which turned out to be a major point of interest for George when she gave him a tour of her old neighborhood.” - Los Angeles Times, March 9, 2005 (x)

Tuesday Tunes 201: Some More Dances
Click to enlarge if necessary After last week’s celebration of the 200th post in this series I thought I’d return again to another theme which I have featured before, but for which I have some more songs to play you. Back in 2022 I played three selections of songs with dance in their title, and as that is a natural fit for music I thought I’d take it round the floor again. So, here is my fourth…
