Composer
Chuck Rio (Danny Flores)
Daniel Flores (akas: Danny Flores; Chuck Rio) (July 11, 1929 – September 19, 2006) was the singer on his self-written song, "Tequila", an American Billboard number one hit in 1958 for The Champs.
Flores was born to Mexican field workers in Santa Paula, California. He died of pneumonia in Huntington Beach, California.
"Tequila" was written and sung by Flores, although he was credited as Chuck Rio at the time because he was under contract to another record label. Flores, who died in September 2006, was known as the "Godfather of Latino rock." Flores' "dirty sax" and his joyous hollering of "Tequila!" are the hallmarks of the song. Flores signed away the U.S. rights to the song but retained worldwide rights until his death.
