Daniel Flores DANIEL FLORES Born in Rankin, Texas he moved to Santa Paula, California with his Mexican parents in the thirties. He first picked up a guitar at family gatherings in his early teens benefiting from positive input from various relatives. By the late forties he moved to the saxophone and was trying to emulate the raspy style of Vido Musso who had made a name with Benny Goodman and Stan Kenton. Danny would eventually sign with Modern Records as a vocalist. Flores began playing a variety of musical styles jazz, country, pop and R&B at bars and clubs, with his own band, in Long Beach. Because of his style he was often called The Mexican Hillbilly. In 1957 he met up with Dave Burgess an inspiring songwriter, singer and guitarist who was with the Challenge label, a California label owned by Gene Autry. Danny and Dave would then put together a group that included Gene Alden (drums), Buddy Bruce (guitar) and Cliff Hills (bass). During a recording session at Goldstar Studios in Hollywood, on December 23rd 1957, Danny decided to record an instrumental he and his group had been playing live as part of their club act…he called “Tequila”. While in the studio, the group decided to call themselves “The Champs” after Gene Autry’s horse with Flores taking writer’s credits. When the record began getting some air play Flores was told by the executives at Challenge to change his name for the reason he was still under contract with Modern Records as a vocalist. Danny Flores then became Chuck Rio with “Tequila” becoming one of the biggest instrumentals in Rock history reaching #1 in 1958. Ever changing touring line-ups the group would later include Glen Campbell along with Jimmy Seals, Dash Crofts and Dean Beard from West Texas. Danny was the voice on the instrumental during the breaks saying…“Te-qui-la”. .

  • Great Instrumental
    I grew up during the heyday of pop instrumental music in the 1950s and the 1960s (there were 30 instrumental hits in the Top 40 in 1961), and I would listen to the radio faithfully for the 30 seconds before the hourly news when they would play instrumentals (however the first 45’s I bought were vocals: Bimbo by Jim Reeves in 1954, The Ballad of Davy Crockett with the flip side Farewell by Fess Parker in 1955, and Sixteen Tons by Tennessee Ernie Ford in 1956). I also listened to my Dad’s 78s, and my favorite song of those was Raymond Scott’s Powerhouse from 1937 (which was often heard in Warner Bros. cartoons). and to records that my friends had, and that their parents had - artists such as: (This is not meant to be a complete or definitive list of the music of these artists, or a definitive list of instrumental artists – rather it is just a list of many of the instrumental songs I heard and loved when I was growing up - therefore this list just goes up to the early 1970s): Floyd Cramer (Last Date and On the Rebound and Let’s Go and Hot Pepper and Flip Flop & Bob and The First Hurt and Fancy Pants and Shrum and All Keyed Up and San Antonio Rose and [These Are] The Young Years and What’d I Say and Java and How High the Moon), The Ventures (Walk Don't Run and Walk Don’t Run ‘64 and Perfidia and Ram-Bunk-Shush and Diamond Head and The Cruel Sea and Hawaii Five-O and Oh Pretty Woman and Go and Pedal Pusher and Tall Cool One and Slaughter on Tenth Avenue), Booker T.

  • SURF MUSIC by Geoffrey Himes
    SURF MUSIC By Geoffrey Himes It often seems that the United States is a pool table that has been tilted so all its hopes and dreams roll to the west. Whenever Americans want a new and better life, they head toward the setting sun. Whether it was the white-canvas covered wagons of the 1850s, the rusty Okie jalopies of the 1930s or the painted hippie vans of the 1960s, the direction is always westward—and eventually they collect in the pool table’s corner pocket known as Southern California. When Chuck Berry went chasing after his imagined utopia in the song “Promised Land," where did he end up? Los Angeles. Thousands of Hollywood movies had advertised Southern California as a nirvana of palm trees, sunshine, beautiful girls and beautiful boys, convincing folks from Oklahoma, Kansas and Ohio to pack up and move to the coast. By the end of the 1950s, the area around L.A. was full of almost as many transplanted Midwesterners as native Californians. The natives knew the region was no utopia, but the first and second-generation immigrants, these strangers in paradise, still clung to the notion of America’s western edge as the place where their dreams might come true. The teens and twentysomethings in these families—too young and too new to the West Coast to be disillusioned— turned that utopian impulse into a new kind of rock'n'roll: surf music. Brian, Dennis and Carl Wilson, whose father and mother had moved to California from Kansas and Minnesota respectively, formed the Beach Boys.
