Hinweis:
Danny Flores, composer of "Tequila," a huge hit for the Champs in
1958,
has died. He was 77.
Flores, who performed under the name Chuck Rio, lived in Westminster
for years. He died Tuesday, family members said, after suffering for
years from Parkinson's disease.
The classic instrumental featured Flores' instantly recognizable
saxophone line and his periodic growl of the sole lyric - "Tequila!"
