I'm posting this in memory of lead guitarist Jim Fuller who died on March 3rd. The Surfaris were an American surf rock band formed in Glendora, California in 1962. They are best known for two songs that hit the charts in the Los Angeles area, and nationally by May 1963: "Surfer Joe" and "Wipe Out", which were the A-side and B-side of the same 45 rpm single.
"Let's Dance" is a 1962 hit-single by Chris Montez, written and produced by Jim Lee, the song was a #4 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the U.S., and to No. 2 in the UK Singles Chart. Although starting out as a rocker Chris switched styles to become a popular singer of soft ballads, scoring a hit with "Call Me" in 1966.
