Cortez was American pop and R&B pianist and organist, born on August 13, 1938 in Detroit, Michigan. Cousin of Howard Guyton. He made his first record in 1956 under his own name but it was not until three years later that he scored a major success using the stage name Dave "Baby" Cortez. His instrumental, "The Happy Organ" was the first pop/rock hit to feature the organ as lead instrument with Gary Hammond as drummer. The 45rpm single went to no. 1 on Billboard magazine's Hot 100 charts. Cortez had another Top Ten hit in 1962 with "Rinky Dink".

Moon People were originally known as The Latin Blues Band featuring Luis Aviles, for their third album they were renamed to Los Astronautas or – in English – the Moon People. Their best known track was originally called "(I'll Be A) Happy Man", released in 1968 on the Latin Blues Band's "Take A Trip Pussycat" album. It was later re-released on the Moon People album "Land Of Love" as "The Happy Soul". Subsequently, "The Happy Soul" was edited and overdubbed with organ solos by Dave "Baby" Cortez and released as "Happy Soul (With A Hook)". In 1969 yet another re-edit of this track titled "Hippy, Skippy, Moon Strut (Opus #1)" was released on Roulette. The Christina Aguilera song "Ain't No Other Man" produced by DJ Premier uses samples from "Hippy, Skippy, Moon Strut".
