Daria Spenke, Berlin, Deutschland, , Dear Mr. Monti Rock III, I remember seeing you often on Merv Griffin (I was in the audience). You were ALWAYS the main guest who's personality plus was extra-ordinaire for tv. All the tv shows in which you were a guest, my family made sure we watched it. You were AHEAD of the times/era/generation!

Philip Eskow, Staten Island, New York -  Hi Monti. Its been a long time when you perform at my uncles club 2001 odyssey when you film Saturday Night Fever. I was one of the managers of that club when the movie was being made. You even know my brother Steven Eskow, from Steven Eskow show in Florida. I am glad that you are doing great. when you get into the New Jersey or New York area give me a call. I haven't seen you for over 32 years. I still stay in touch with the boys from 2001 Odyssey. Hope to speak to you soon.                       Philip Eskow

Bob Pitch, Lumberton NJ 08048, ,  Monti, its great to see you after all these years!!! I was performing at the Americana Caribbean in Aruba in the early 80's and you were performing at the hotel next to us. We used to say hello on the beach everyday. I had a friend over last night and somehow the name Monti Rock came up and he said "I've got to show you this" and he turned me on to your site. Glad to see you are well. Do you remember Hedy Lamar being on that beach also? She lived in the room next to mine and was on that beach everyday. Cheers Monti!!
Bobo

        Aloha Monti!
It is certainly great to see you are stil in showbiz.  When I was a teenager growing up in Milwaukee, I remember seeing you on the Merv Griffin Show in the mid 60s and also on The Tonight Show in the early 70s after I moved to California.  You were and still are fabulous. You were liberated way back then.  I wish you all the best in life.  As in Miss Tina Turner's song, you are SIMPLY THE BEST?-Yes

        Dear Monti,
It was not until November of 2004 that I first heard Disco Tex and The Sex-O-Lettes. My manger at work gave me your original LP record and told me to check it out. Within the first song I was hooked! A hobby of mine is taking video my friends and I having a good time and then making edited videos of the footage. After a while I put these videos on my personal website. As a tribute to your music I used the Disco Tex record as the theme to a Pimp's and Hoe's theme party we all attended. Made music videos using the songs. Then all my friends were looking to buy that same record! You can view the video on my personal website http://monti.com
We make no profit on our videos there simple made to entertain friends and to practice on video editing.
I hope you enjoy

        Hi! I have very fond memories of boogie-ing the nights away to Disco Tex & his Sex O`Lettes songs back in the 70`s! The tracks were so happy! We need more of that!
Thanks for great memories! I would love a signed photo of Monti
Regards,Patricia

   I remember Monti when he used to appear on The Tonight Show and how much I enjoyed watching him (with his long hair) and fun attitude.   Glad to see he is still around.  The last time I saw him was in the movie "Grease"!  Keep the faith Monti!

      I loved you on the tonight show. You were so ahead of your time. Your music and voice are awesome. I would love to have a autograph picture. I wish you had a cd i could purchase You were truly the beginning of a certain style of rock and roll. You were just so much ahead of your time. I hope you could be inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
A fan forever,
Chucky

        I remember Monti Rock III with great fondness from the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.  I doubt that I ever missed a show when Sir Rock was on.  You are an ICON!!!  LOVE YOU and glad to hear you are well!!!!
          I emailed The Tonight Show and received an immediate automatic response.  It was quite insulting and stated that due to heavy volume they could not answer each one and to go to another site to see if my question would be answered and show ideas, etc. would be deleted and not read.
It shows how much they appreciate the viewers.

  It was so cool to find your site! My husband and I were talking about you this evening, and I set out on the internet to find you and I DID!  I loved you on the Carson Show, I made it a point to always tune in when I knew you were going to  be there.
Thank you for all the wonderful evenings I spent watching you on the show. How much I laughed and enjoyed your antics, and was so terribly sad when you stop appearing.  I really think Jay Leno Should have you on, but of course he is not of the caliber of Johnny Carson.
Thank for staying out there and making others happy.  If I ever get a chance to visit my brother, who lives in Las Vegas, I will try to find where you are.  I would love to meet you.
Again thank you for some fine memories!

 Did Monte Rock record a version of "The Masquerade is Over" ? If so, is there a way I can get a copy of it somewhere? Monte used to sing it on the Merv Griffen show in the 60's

 Monti....I've told you in private and am proud to say it in public, it was an honor to be in the audience on your opening night at the Castaways. You still have what Las Vegas has been lacking for years-charisma, humor and the talent to make an audience applaud, laugh and and go home with a smile.... and Jay Leno has to have hired help hold up signs to order his audience to to do those things or they'd just sit there in dead silence. Nobody does it better than you darling! (I can't wait for the book!) - Fan Club Member. 

04/28/2004 -Monti performed in the New York area, I wonder if he has heard of Smokey and Shorty Warren? I played bass in their band in the early 70's. We played clubs in the New York and New Jersey area.  We were an opening act for Nashville stars such as Jack Greene, Jeannie Shepard, Hank Snow, Faron Young, David Houston and others.

  Hi Monti! I saw you on TV in the early days and immediately new I was witnessing 'Charisma' personified! Soon after I heard and loved "For Days" and have been looking for a recording of it since. However, what really cemented my admiration of you Monti was the classy and reserved way you handled the abuse forced on you, on the tonight show, by (I believe) Henny Youngman. You were so far ahead stylistically and socially that the old buzzard couldn't handle it. The incident only showed which was the person you'd want to admire or  associate with (wow, I could only imagine). The Best of Everything for you Monti!

  Hello, Monty!  Redd Stewart; country musician/songwriter of songs such as, Tennessee Waltz, Slow Poke, ect... was my father, and someone just e-mailed me about if I remembered a version of the Tennessee Waltz that was done on the Johnny Carson show about 30-35 years ago? Johnny had a guest on his show by the name of Monty Rock III singing a rock-n-roll version of the Tennessee Waltz.  My father passed away this past August 2003, and we have launched a tribute site to him at: www.monti.com   We would like to invite you to visit & would love for you to enter your version of Tennessee Waltz into our contest we just started running!  Information is on the welcome page.  If you have questions, just e-mail us!  We would love to hear from you!!  Thank you!      -Yes

No Date - Kowalski, Joe Clark - joeyutz@monti.com - New York City, NY-US -  I'm a writer currently collaborating with a New York City deejay on the adaptation of the documentary 'Paris Is Burning' as an Off-Broadway show.  I would like to use Monti as the MC character which would unite all the threads of storyline...I would love to get his permission to characterize him and I would REALLY love to communicate with him, one to one.  Is this possible?

I have to tell you-you're doing a terrific job with the Monti website.  Very few celebrity websites are as informative and sincere as yours (and the others are rarely updated or kept current). It's obvious you've put a lot of hours into building and maintaining the site. Keep up the good work! - Regards, Kathy Redle
