About Danny Flores

Daniel Flores, also known by his stage name Chuck Rio, was an American Rock and roll saxophonist. He is best remembered for his self-penned song "Tequila", which he recorded with The Champs, the band of which he was a member at the time, and which reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100. At 14, however, Flores switched to the saxophone, forming his first band, the 3-D Ranch Boys. In the early 1950s, Flores recorded vocals for small Pasadena-based record labels, before signing to Modern Records/RPM Records, and releasing his earliest rock and roll material. On December 23, 1957, the group recorded three songs for Challenge Records, including Flores' instrumental Tequila.
